Hoag patients, their family members, and others shared stories and sentiments, showcasing the impact physicians have made on their health journeys. Across clinical areas, ages, and stages, messages recounted the vital work of physicians and how they leave lasting impacts on the lives they touch. Gifts made by the community in honor of National Doctors’ Day will help physicians continue delivering life-changing care, developing new clinical treatments, and enhancing their skills to serve the people of Orange County. Whether it’s during emergency surgery, a long battle with a disease, or a joyous birth, Hoag physicians are alongside patients every step of the way.

•  “I was blessed with the very best! Dr. Bassett literally saved my life! When I was diagnosed with an aggressive, high-grade and very rare bladder cancer, I was scared and had lost all hope. He was a bright light in a very dark tunnel for me. Not only did he restore my hope, but he gave me a new life that I never thought would be imaginable! I am now cancer-free going on two years! He is a true angel gifted with so much knowledge, patience, and passion. We love you, Dr. Bassett! Happy National Doctors’ Day❤️” - Karen

•  “Thank you to Dr. Caffarelli and his surgical team and Hoag for providing the essential emergency care to save my life. I am forever grateful to you.” - Catherine
