Dr. Steven Long

Our family (and many friends) have gone to Dr. Long since about 1994. He makes time for his patients, is great with kids--he used to treat me and now is the doctor for our three kids. He has taken such great care of our family I would never go anywhere else. In fact, we are moving out of town (about 30 miles away) and will make the trek back just to be under his care. He is intelligent, explains things in practical common terms, and listens to his patients. He is amazing and so is his office staff. If there is an emergency you can count on him. We are so lucky to know him and have him as our trusted family physician. Being a doctor, for him, is about treating the whole patient and not just the symptoms. He treats each individual as a ""person"" and I am grateful for that. I trust him implicitly and know he prescribes things when we need them and does not push things on us we are not comfortable with. If you are looking for a great office--go here!! Pros: Compassionate, intelligent, well-educated, open minded, honest, not afraid to give a referral if needed, patient Cons: Only affiliated with HOAG--wish he was with Saddleback and Mission too!! :) more

Dr. Long saved my mother's life - he diagnosed her with a systemic infection, caused during a previous surgery (done by a different doctor at Irvine Regional Hospital), when other doctors in the area had been telling her for weeks she was ""fine."" Dr. Long got her into a hospital (Hoag) within 4 hours of her visit to his office, and the doctors there performed emergency surgery and said if she'd waited another 24 hours she would most likely have died. As it was she (eventually) had a full recovery. Dr. Long is a good, caring man who really knows his stuff. more

The staff is friendly, helpful, and caring. Dr. Long is professional and truly cares about his patients. more
