In patients' words
"Dr. Howard Elkin is not only particularly knowledgeable but has the best bedside manner a patient could desire. He is always upbeat, fully present - he REALLY listens so that the patient feels heard."
— Vitals review of Dr. Howard K. Elkin"I felt she was rather demeaning and had little concern for my issues. She was most comfortable simply checking off the basics... But didn’t seem to use reason and knowledge to solve my health problems."
— Healthgrades review of Dr. Mary Wahbah"The only thing that I think PIH needs to work on as a whole is making sure that they don't take on too many patients so they do have availability... it's nearly impossible to get a schedule with your PCP."
— PIH Health review of Dr. Cesar Espiritu"I like Dr. Mecum but his staff makes me never want to return to his office again. They are horrible... Every time I need a refill on my Rx or information needs to be given to my insurance company, the staff either doesnt receive the fax or they say its completed and sent yet the receiver doesnt get whats been sent."
