For years, patients trusted Hoag and its physicians with their care, but many faced horrific betrayal. In recent years, doctors at Hoag were arrested for sexual misconduct with patients, including Dr. William Thompson (arrested 2023, 150+ victims) and Dr. John Hoefs (arrested 2024).
Patients were often assaulted under the guise of a medical examination. Hoag failed to keep them safe.
