Dr. Thilan Fernando graduated Cum Laude from the prestigious Georgetown Medical University in 2005, and completed his residency at the UCLA Medical Center in 2008. Dr. Fernando has volunteered his time by practicing medicine overseas in Sri Lanka and Tanzania, and locally at a homeless clinic in Redondo Beach. One thing Dr. Fernando has learned during his time as a volunteer is how to stay flexible and work in changing conditions. “It's really eye-opening,” says Dr. Fernando, “you learn how to prioritize patient care while working with limited resources, on a wide range of disorders.” Dr. Fernando says he learned how to be adaptable while working overseas, a skill he applies daily when treating the unique needs of each of his patients. Dr. Fernando was raised in Cerritos and attended went to school in Downey. In his free time, Dr. Fernando collects cars and plays sports. He enjoys spending time with his children as well as traveling, surfing, and playing the saxophone.

I am a health provider myself and it was refreshing not to feel undermined. He didn't assume that I should know all about my own health and took his time to explain my symptoms, diagnosis and plan of care.

September 16, 2024
I had a lot of fun with the staff. They were very pleasant in their treatment of a slightly obstreperous old man. [g]
September 13, 2024
Normally when they take my blood pressure it comes out high, at home it comes out normal, I told the doctor about this situation and he realized that the device they have in the consultation is too small for my arm, and he told me that this affects the reading.
September 10, 2024
couldn't be better, everyone very professional.thanks

They were all very kind. They transferred me very quickly. They were excellent.
August 27, 2024
The doctor and all the staff make an excellent team.
August 23, 2024
Dr. Fernando seems to be a very good doctor. He seems just like Dr. (name removed). I'm very satisfied with him and his mannerism.
August 23, 2024
I think an area of improvement is to suggest other alternatives other than medicine, prescription prescribed medications and also blood tests. I would like to see more breakdown of like minerals and vitamins that I'm positioned in.
August 22, 2024
I definitely want to change doctors. Dr. Fernando was very arrogant, didn't even perform a physical examination, and showed no kindness.
August 21, 2024
Excellent
August 20, 2024

August 12, 2024
Everything was very professional
August 08, 2024
Listened to all my concerns about medications given and how they would effect the potency of my other medications.
July 31, 2024
Great experience.
July 08, 2024
Okay, so I didn't have any... I didn't really feel any connection with the doctor. And then I was given a new medication that I was not aware of that I was getting and I wasn't explained clearly what it was. But outside of that, yeah, I mean, he was okay. And I would go back to see him, give him another go at it, because everybody has their days. Thank you.
July 08, 2024
The only issue was that I couldn't schedule the appointment because the computers don't allow scheduling more than 3 months in advance. Therefore, the doctor asked for a follow-up, but they couldn't give me the appointment. This is why I can't make an appointment until I call back in two to three months. The doctor requested a six-month follow-up, but the secretary couldn't schedule it.
July 08, 2024
EXCELLENT DOCTOR :: I WOULD NOT CHANGE DOCTORS !!!
July 08, 2024
Without a doubt, they have a good work team. They should continue forward with that good attitude.

May 13, 2024
I like my Dr and the staff. Good location and on line service.
May 10, 2024
The Assistant done most of the up front visit, blood pressure, temp, medications etc. I hope they are well compensated. Dr. Fernando is a little stiff, but professional, do the GP no longer check your heart etc.....sorry I am an older woman and remember how things use to be. He is a very nice young man.
May 08, 2024
Very good doctor, very professional and listened to me well as I wanted, thank you.
April 26, 2024
I arrived earlier then my appointment and I was seen earlier.
April 24, 2024
Yes, good afternoon, I really like going with Dr. Fernando, I feel like he listens, gives me good service. This is a very convenient place and (unreadable) very professional and (unreadable). Thank you so much.
April 23, 2024
I am really satisfied as having Dr. Fernando as my Doctor If I have a problem or question he listens
April 22, 2024
Well, this doctor actually, I went there four days after I was in the hospital, and he didn't care whatever I say I was in the hospital. And the second one is, he not even see the documents that the hospital provide me, so I can visit my regular doctor, which is Fernando. And another one is he request labs, and I did it in 10 days, but up to this moment, he never called me if the labs come out okay, or something is wrong, nothing. At least he can say, you know what, everything is perfect. Just continue with the test. Nothing. He just prescribed some medicine, sent it to the CVS, and he not even told me how long we're going to take this medicine. Nothing. So I think he's a very, very, very poor doctor,
April 22, 2024
Nice people in the office and all the places
April 12, 2024
For being a first time, the care was very good. I hope to have this good care all the time.
April 12, 2024
I liked the service. I liked the attention. I love the people you have working there because it is clear they are well-prepared, they are very educated, and the main thing is that they are bilingual. Everyone there speaks English and Spanish, and I do not speak English, so I feel perfectly fine every time I go to see the doctor.
April 10, 2024
This was my 1st visit. I am so happy I changed to PIH. Dr. Fernando is incredibly good. He listened, He explained and He recommended. He make PIH the best choice. Kindest regards, (PHI removed)
April 01, 2024
I put the blood test facility in Multani's office back. Total convenience when it was there. It will be a terrible situation going back to Quest. Probably the worst people to work with.
April 01, 2024
It was an excellent experience, we didn't wait long even though we didn't have an appointment, my husband and I are willing to change at this office, and I am going to recommend my brother. Thank you for your attention.
April 01, 2024
Very professional
March 22, 2024
I would have liked to be told before hand that the lab was closed. I had fasted that morning expecting to have lab work done. Now I have to reschedule a lab test and fast again.
March 20, 2024
Dr. Fernando was a gentleman. He listened and I can't say enough nice things about him. I'm very happy with PIH's doctors and very happy with Dr. Fernando. Thank you.
February 28, 2024
Very good service. Doctor Fernando and the nurse also gave us good service and a good trend. Thank you.
February 28, 2024
Staff is very attentive and caring.
February 26, 2024
Well, experience overall, not too bad. The only problem is the staff are being too serious and they're missing that human part of their service. I mean, they talk like robots and it makes you feel that they're just doing a job. They're not really feeling for you. The doctor is okay, but I told him about something like an issue with my skin and he said he was going to prescribe something. I went to the pharmacy and he forgot. You know, overall, not too bad, but there's always room for improvement, especially that human part, being a little bit more friendly. That's it.
February 26, 2024
This medical group is excellent in everything they do, from the reception to Dr. Fernando. Thank you very much.
February 23, 2024
I don't really like it that this doctor make a diagnostic without examination, the appropriate examination. Also, that he prescribe me the medication that I am allergic, which is naproxen. It's in my file, it's in my chart, and he still prescribes me the medication that's causing me allergy. As well, I am in pain because I am not able to take any kind of medicine because he didn't provide the appropriate medication for pain. Thank you.
February 21, 2024
Yes all about the opinion, it's difficult for me to think about this, as it was the first time I went. I'm still not very sure and when I get more appointments over time I'll have a different opinion, thanks. (PHI removed). Bye.
February 20, 2024
For me, what the doctor gave me was a good offer and I am very comfortable with him.
February 14, 2024
Everything is good, thanks.
February 13, 2024
The check-in was really easy. The hospital looked clean. The nurse that helped me out was also very friendly and gentle when she did the blood pressure. The doctor himself was great. He was very informative and listened to my concerns. Overall 10 out of 10.
February 13, 2024
Friendly staff always at front desk in Downey.....Tks
February 09, 2024
He was very professional and respectful He listen carefully to establish my care because I am a New patient to him. He carefully review and document all my medication on my medical record.
February 05, 2024
As always, all the staff were very friendly.
February 05, 2024
The staff is always friendly and helpful. I feel acknowledged and the wait time is minimal. The office area is always clean and well maintained. The overall experience was very good.
January 23, 2024
Okay, so I asked the doctor about some other concerns that I had and he basically said if it didn't, if it didn't maintain to the same topic, he would just leave. And it was just two quick things about asking for prescriptions that he used to have prescribed for my psoriasis and for anti-fungal, anti-fungal anything, any prescriptions for fungus. And he said he would have prescribed them, but he never did. And I would just like to see why. He literally said, "I would definitely, I would prescribe those to you," and he never did. So, I just want to know why.
January 23, 2024
I felt like the doctor was very dismissed of my concern. Didn't even bother to review my history and see am dealing with postpartum, or even ask how I'm dealing with it. I will be changing back to the Whittier location. This my first time trying this location. I was wish I would have a great experience since the location is close to home.
January 17, 2024
Excellent service
January 16, 2024
My prescriptions were sent to the wrong pharmacy.
January 16, 2024
My doctor is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. I wouldn't change him for the world and I have recommended him to my entire family. I am very happy with him. He takes care of me, listens to me and is very accurate. I love him. I admire him a lot. Thanks for having him, bye.
January 08, 2024
Dr Fernando is very kind and thoughtful and very caring he listens and truly cares about his patience and what they might be going through and he goes over everything and explains everything very nicely and I'm very grateful for him and his staff and I'm grateful for PIH and I thank you very much and I thank him very much for everything
January 03, 2024
Notify the patient to fast when making an appointment for a physical check-up so that blood can be drawn and so you don't go twice. Have this as a requirement for when the person goes for a physical check. This way the person does not have to go for a second visit just to have blood drawn.
December 22, 2023
I've been with PIH and its predecessor (Pioneer) for many years. I have been treated by Dr. Fernando before so knew him. He is now going to be my PC which helps to keep prescriptions organized and available. I also had another issue this time and he listened very carefully and is in the act of arranging for further testing, etc. I am so glad he was able to see me!
December 18, 2023
Horrible, rude, disrespectful. ... For what I pay, only good for blood test. what do I need to do to change doctors?Who do I talk to? Love the place cause it's close. Horrible as a human. Let alone to be a doctor Last one retired.
December 15, 2023
Have always been treated well at PIH. Very happy with the convenience of the Blood Lab.
December 12, 2023
Everyone was very friendly and the doctor was attentive to my health concerns and questions I asked him!! Thank you very much to the staff who assisted me as well.
December 05, 2023
Dr. Fernando is a very caring and professional doctor. He listened to my concerns and I listened to his advise. I am all better now. Thank you Dr. Fernando for being the best part of PIH...
November 29, 2023
I didn't understand.
November 22, 2023
Dr. Fernando very patient with my husband, take very good care of him for all these years, and I would like to say thank you so much. I'm very appreciative.
November 22, 2023
The staff was able to accommodate me with an appointment to see my provider since I was discharged from the emergency room. That really gave me peace of mind. During my visit everyone was very professional and always smiled. Dr Fernando was thorough with my plan of care and took his time explaining everything to me.
