All staff members have been soo kind with me and have answered all my questions. There is no other place I would feel safe with.

The office staff across the hall, the ultrasound team was also excellent. They are kind and pleasant and really take their time. My tech even grabbed my urine cup from the office across the way for me and took it back for me. Just really went out of her way.

It was okay. Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Dr. Was very helpful and knowledgeable about my case. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met her. The most compassionate person I've met in a long time in this setting.

The overall experience is good, but the front office needs improvement because it feels like the receptionists don't want to be there. Like, they just don't, didn't sound enthusiastic at all, and they just, like, don't want to do their job at all. But overall, the providers are really good. Thank you.

Great

Dirt time meeting with Dr. Mercurio and I'm so pleased with her care and attention during my visit. Great MD!!

Doctor explained everything thoroughly. Nurse assistant was friendly, helpful To me. I wouldn't mind seeing them again if I had.
September 20, 2024
They do a really good job of keeping everything very organized and professional. Everyone was really nice and treated me with a lot of respect. I think the only area of improvement would be your app. Maybe just making some tweaks here and there. But overall, I was very satisfied.
September 13, 2024
Loved your staff and Dr. Mercurio was extremely helpful.
September 09, 2024
It was quick and easy. I am happy with the service.
September 06, 2024
Dr.Mercurcio and her assistant/nurse were great. This was definitely one of my better experiences at PIH. I'm a nurse for a different healthcare organization and I felt like I was treated very well as a patient at my visit, just like the way I treat my patients. I would highly recommend this provider and this office for women's health care needs.
September 05, 2024
My concerns and questions were answered right away by the doctor. I truly appreciate the time she took to explain and help me feel secure with my pregnancy. The nurse who help with my vitals was also very kind and friendly. Love this staff.
September 05, 2024
I was asked how I was feeling and I brought up a few things that were bothering me. To each thing like insomnia, or joint pain, so just very quickly said 'I can't do anything about that' and sometimes would say 'sorry wish I could' as an afterthought. Why ask how I'm doing if the only things you care about are things you can write prescriptions for? It felt very dismissive. And now I have to have appointments every two weeks? Why are you dragging me back every two weeks just to ask me questions you don't care about and dismiss the things that ARE bothering me, whether or not you can fix them? I can message if something is wrong, but it's incredibly frustrating to miss work for such a pointless interaction. I'm so unsatisfied with the course of my care so far and I don't feel like my concerns about missing work are being heard.

Staff was very nice, but they did not introduce themselves. Doctor was very nice and took her time. I really appreciate her answering all the questions and not making me feel rushed.
August 16, 2024
I haven't met a doctor I have been comfortable with the way I felt comfortable with Dr Cariza Mercurio
August 09, 2024
I was very pleased with my visit. The only thing that I didn't like is that I have to wait for over 20 minutes for once I was in the room already, I mean, I have to wait like me from 15 to 20 minutes. That's it, but I'm very happy with the visit. Thank you.
July 11, 2024
Doctor and nurse were great and friendly. But seems like front office secretary doesn't like her job. She just spoke couple words with me and could've been more friendly and courteous. Otherwise, love the staff and the office and the efficiency of my appointment.
July 09, 2024
Dr Cariza Mercurio is a very nice Dr she cares about her patients
July 03, 2024
Dr. Mercurio was attentive and nice.
June 28, 2024
Dr. Mercurio spent a lot of time with me and remembering who I was from a year ago. She was patient and she was friendly. She's my favorite doctor that I have to see annually.
June 25, 2024
Dr. Mercurio was very helpful and provided lots of explanations during my appointment and I felt very comfortable even though she's not my primary OB-GYN.
June 25, 2024
Dr. Mercurio was super attentive and made me feel comfortable during my exam. She is easy to talk to address any concerns I have.
June 06, 2024
Satisfactory, excellent service.
June 03, 2024
I find Dr. Mercurio to be very pleasant, engaging and professional. She obviously cares about her patients.
June 03, 2024
This was my first visit with Cariza Mercurio at PIH Health. She was great that I made my next appt with her for my wellness exam.
May 31, 2024
I would like to make Dr. Mercurio my primary obgyn.
May 23, 2024
When the survey starts, you should explain that it's a four-point scale. You said one, yes, no, two, yes. I hit two. I should have hit four, but I didn't realize that it was not a no-yes question. So on the first question, my answer is four, not two. Thank you.
May 21, 2024
Excellent professional service!
May 09, 2024
Dr. Mercurio Was very professional. She is very understanding and takes the time to listen to you and explain procedures and the purpose for them. She and her staff were pleasant answered all my questions and made sure that all my concerns were addressed.
April 30, 2024
All team members were very helpful. Thank you for your time.
April 30, 2024
I left my dr visit very content and satisfied. She explained everything I needed to know in detail.
April 26, 2024
The staff was very courteous and I believe they answered my questions when I did have a specific question when I arrived. I also had a question before I arrived for my appointment and I did call the front desk and they were very helpful to answer my question and the concern that I had. The front desk did a really good job, I believe, of just answering the questions that I had and they also did take me in a very timely manner.
April 26, 2024
Dr Mercurio is very personable, knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable.
April 25, 2024
They were very friendly, caring, listened to what I had to say, and made me feel comfortable.
April 24, 2024
Dr Mercurio is knowledgeable, kind and listens to her patients
April 16, 2024
I try to avoid using any office that is on the hospital campus so I don't have to pay for parking. More doctors are needed so there is not such a long wait to get an appointment. Dr. Mercurio was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
April 15, 2024
Dr. Mercurio is wonderful. She thoroughly explains everything that she's doing. She answers all of your questions and she goes above and beyond for her patients. She's honestly an asset to PIH and deserves all the recognition possible.
April 15, 2024
It was a pleasant experience, in which the staff was very friendly and polite, my doctor even thought it was my first time in consult , i felt comfortable with her information and treatment
April 15, 2024
Oh I thought she was so kind and understanding my feelings and problems, and explaining. That now I don't have to worry, it will be taken care of. Thank you so much, having her here on staff and everyone, God Bless . (PHI removed)
April 04, 2024
Overall good experience
April 04, 2024
Excellent, excellent provider. She was perfect. I can't believe that she's so thorough and very gentle and I was uncomfortable and my experience, if I would have had that experience a long time ago, I'm like 53, if I would have had that experience when I was younger, I would have been there a long time ago.
April 02, 2024
The staff and Doctor were amazing, kind, and patient. Thank you !
March 28, 2024
The person at the reception desk was very polite and helpful. When I got into the office, the one who took my blood pressure, she was very rude, she was very bitter, she didn't smile, she didn't make me feel at ease, and I was scared, and I told her that. Then when the doctor came in, she says, don't worry, and then I was just, you know, sniffling a little bit. And I didn't even freak out like she said I did. She told me I freaked out twice, and I didn't. My mom is my caregiver, and she was there to witness everything. Now, I wouldn't recommend her. No, thank you.
March 26, 2024
Amazing service, friendly staff
March 26, 2024
Doctor Mercurio was patient with our family and listened to our concerns and explained the process of her exam and next steps. Highly recommended and we felt comfortable with her bedside manner!
March 22, 2024
I had to wait 45 minutes to be seen this didn't bother me because I understand things happen, however what I did not appreciate was when walked up to the counter to inquire about how much longer it would take since it was already 30 minutes past my appointment time, the gentleman who checked me was very polite about it but the lady sitting next time him was snippy. Even though I was not addressing her she asked what my name was and seemed annoyed. That seemed unwarranted and I did not appreciate it.
March 21, 2024
Staff are always so kind! They explain everything they're going to do before they do it and are willing to answer questions. They always give the best care!
March 14, 2024
This is the second time I see the girl at front desk with just the nastiest attitude. I need to get her name for a proper survey. She sits by the woman's center for the OB patients with big lips. Sorry but I'm a medical assistant at my clinic and I would not treat patients in the manner she does. Very cold demeanor. Doctor was amazing though!
March 08, 2024
Dr Mercurio is a great physician and a great human being . I love and appreciate being under her medical care .
March 04, 2024
I thought this doctor was excellent. I was very impressed with her. She answered all my questions and she's very nice and I really like her. Thank you.
March 01, 2024
I don't ever write reviews but I feel it's necessary for this experience. Dr was super nice when I walked in, it was my first time meeting her. When she asked me if I was going to get my TDAP vaccine I said no, I felt like I was a little kid getting scolded in a principals office. Not once did she ask in a nice way, "oh ok, you don't want to get it, well is there any questions I can answer for you to ease your worries?" I'm a first time mom and more then ever I am very cautious what I put in my body. I would have appreciated a little more concern from my Dr. the energy in the room definitely shifted from fun and lighthearted to super awkward once we said no to the TDAP and circumcision. All of the Dr.'s have been incredible at Whittier pih but unfortunately I did not feel comfortable with this one and will not be seeing her again.
February 29, 2024
Staff was great, but it's a barrier to access to have to pay for parking.
February 28, 2024
Was very empathetic and good listener
February 28, 2024
Dr. Mercurio is a gem!
February 26, 2024
I am a patient of Dr. (name removed), but he was not available, so I was very thankful to get in with Dr. Mercurio, and she was very thorough, and I appreciated her follow-up. She called me as soon as she had my lab results from the biopsies, and I'm very thankful. And I like that she explains everything. May she continue to be a blessing to all the patients that she has. Thank you.
February 21, 2024
Doctor was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional, as well as the staff. Such a pleasant visit, overall.
February 20, 2024
I like how the receptionist explained to me my copay breakdown. The wait was minimal. The time I spent with the doctor was just right.
February 13, 2024
Dr. Mercurio was very kind and the nurses were very kind too.
February 13, 2024
So appreciate the time, patience and kindness by Dr.Mercurio and nurse. Calmed my nerves, listened, talked and just made it a good experience. She is the best!
February 09, 2024
This was one of the most comfortable and helpful gynecological visits of my 46 years of being a woman. Fantastic doctor. END
February 09, 2024
I like how I was able to do what needed to be done all in that first visit.
February 07, 2024
Dr. Mercurio was very patient and informative. I felt comfortable asking questions and her answers were informative. I needed that in my doctor.! Thank you for taking the time to provide me with the information I needed. As women, we go thru so many changes in life and no one takes the time to answer our questions. Dr. Mercurio is an excellent doctor!
February 02, 2024
I loved it! You would not normally hear that when going in for a woman's health exam but Dr was friendly, kind, heard & addressed my concerns. She made me feel safe & at ease on my first visit with her.
February 02, 2024
It was great. Thank you Dr Mercurio.
