Very good bedside manner made my wife understand that her pills will help her and to try them.
July 15, 2026
Yes, we love how the physician really listens to us and gives us great feedback. He's very attentive. Thank you.
July 14, 2026
Doctor was very thorough with her assessment and showed more concern than any other physician.
July 08, 2026
Excellent service starting from the front office, checking in all the way to the doctor. Everybody was great. Thank you again and keep up the good work.
July 07, 2026
Dr was extremely professional and did not hurry out. It was my first visit with him as my neurologist of 45yrs retired with no notice to me. Very nice man.
July 01, 2026
The scheduling process is bad, I had to keep calling them to arrange an appointment, once they answered my call I was placed on hold for a very long time. I still have to arrange an appointment with I.R, I have been calling since yesterday and nobody has responded or called me back. I am an PIH employee, but this schedule process is terrible. Sorry.

Very nice and empathetic.
June 26, 2026
Yes, the good doctor was very attentive, very personable. I had a special interest in music and he was very patient and worked with me. I would definitely recommend him. Good medicine listens and that isn't and he was a very good listener. Thank you.
June 23, 2026
Took his time and did a thorough exam and asked pertinent questions about my problems.
June 11, 2026
Following appointments are too long
June 02, 2026
The appointment to see Dr. Biju took a while to happen. I called in late March 2026 to schedule an appointment, and the first available appointment wasn't until June 2, 2026. That is a long time to wait and see a provider for an elderly patient with declining cognitive functions. However, my mother and I were very pleased with Dr. Biju's demeanor and approach to interacting with us and asking for her history. After the appointment, my mom commented she liked Dr. Biju. I look forward to having Dr. Biju treat my mother's condition.

Previous experience with neurology at PIH was not pleasant due to the physicians approach and arrogance. However, Dr. Biju restored our faith in this particular office. He is very much an asset to the PIH neurology group.
May 29, 2026
Very friendly for all the staffs-including front desk and nurses. Dr. Biju explained my problems in details and very patiently. Very new facility, nice and clean, just a little bit farther from freeway.
May 26, 2026
I received excellent and professional service, and they explained my appointment exactly as it should be. Thank you very much.
May 19, 2026
I'm very satisfied with Dr Biju. Thank You.
May 18, 2026
I like the fact that the doctor takes his time and explains everything to you.
May 08, 2026
I love how well the office building was and now the staff were so attempted to make sure you were seen in a timely manner and also how was the Doctor words on explaining things so that I would know what's going on and why he was ordering that he did
May 07, 2026
Very professional
May 06, 2026
Dr Gop did a phenomenal job of listening to me. I have been shrugged off by multiple providers because "tests came back ok" and there was no "clear diagnosis", so i was told to simply follow up in a year unless there was any significant change. But there has been something clearly off in my body for quite some time. After my 1st appointment with Dr Gop, I finally feel hopeful in finding answers.
May 06, 2026
I loved my doctor. Very kind
May 05, 2026
I was very happy and impressed with Dr. Biju taking care of my mom, (PHI removed). He explained everything very well, took the time to answer questions that I had, and overall I'm very happy with him. I plan on making an appointment for myself. Thank you very much, and thank you for doctor. He is fantastic. Thank you.
April 24, 2026
I really liked the attention the doctor gave me and everything. He only speaks English, and I speak Spanish, so it's a little awkward. But anyway, he brought his computer over, and I was there. Someone speaks Spanish, you ask questions, yes. But yes, sometimes when they call me on the phone, it's all English too. And yes, you'd like to have more staff like that. Or someone to interact with. Because instead of just the computer and a government, it's impeccable, but everything is fine, thank you.

The waiting room is extremely cold.
March 30, 2026
Doctor was very helpful and provided all the answers to my questions. Has a very nice personality.
March 27, 2026
wonderful bedside matter
March 24, 2026
I feel like even though a person that took my blood pressure was nice she did a bad job and didn't do it properly. The doctor was nice but it was a little bit hard to understand what he was saying. I didn't want to be rude and ask him to repeat himself. I somewhat understood what he said.
March 23, 2026
Biju Gopalakrishnan was delightful, engaged, thoughtful, supportive, patient, and kind. Could not recommend him enough.
March 18, 2026
I was impressed. The doctor was very nice and he explained to me.
March 11, 2026
The doctor was so nice and caring he assured me that everything was normal on my MRI and I felt confident in his diagnosis that all my worries turned positive and my faith was restored ? the doctor and the staff were so professional and caring and respectful. Thank you for all you do ?
March 09, 2026

March 04, 2026
I was pleased with this and with prospect of follow up appointments
March 02, 2026
Excellent service in all aspects.
February 24, 2026
Dr. Biju was patient, understanding, very detailed in speaking with my father who is 82 years old. My dad had a lot of questions and Dr. Biju was patient and answered each and every one of the ones my dad had and the list of questions that I brought in and gave us honest and direct information. Thank you, Dr. Biju .
February 17, 2026
Dr. Biju is truly exceptional-he's so understanding and kind. He took the time to listen carefully, explained everything with such patience and clarity, and went through my MRI results in great detail. He answered every single question I had without rushing, and made sure I fully understood what was happening. He even recommended a new blood test designed to help detect early signs of dementia (Alzheimer's-related changes), and referred me to two excellent neuropsychologists who can provide a more in-depth evaluation. His humility and genuine care really stand out-he's an outstanding doctor

Everyone was really nice and considerate. Thank you
February 04, 2026
Only about appointment made and noticed it was cancelled on my portal without notification to me. I then called upon noticing the cancellation and it was because doctor was going to be at hospital that day but was able to get me in with another doctor next day. The reception mentioned I should have gotten a call once it was cancelled to notify and I was not called. Notification in these instances need to be better. Once with the doctor and staff always a good experience.
February 04, 2026
The visit was exceptional and over and beyond our expectations. Everyone was very professional. Thank you
February 03, 2026
Would have preferred a doctor located in Whittier.
January 28, 2026
This was my first visit with this provider, however, he offer different solutions to my condition and treat me with respect. I'm looking forward to respond to the treatment offered. The provider show that he cares about his patients, that makes me feel confident to keep been under his care.

December 22, 2025
Hello, one of the best doctors that we have met with. He's very caring, attentive. He wanted to ensure that my mom receives the care that she needs and his bedside manners were really well. This is again one of the best doctors we've ever had. So thank you for that.
December 16, 2025
This office visit was very good, starting from checking in all the way to our departure. Your front office staff was very kind, respectful, and patient with us, answered all questions. Dr. Biju was fantastic. He was so patient with us and so good to my mom and very knowledgeable. Good bedside manner and also very good medical knowledge. I would highly recommend him. That's it. I'm very, very pleased. Thank you.

The back office staff was amazing, very patient. The doctor, excellent, took time with me, explained everything thoroughly. If I asked any questions, he spent the time and made sure I understand all the questions, any medications, my diagnosis. I would highly recommend him and I'm glad to welcome him to PIH Health.
November 13, 2025
Doctor was very interested in my concerns and made a point to answer all my questions and provided new medication to try. I was very pleased.
November 10, 2025
I went to my appointment with the neurologist and explained my symptoms. I noticed he paid attention to what I said, but he didn't seem to care much about the fact that I'm in pain, quite a lot of pain. If I hadn't asked him what he was going to give me for the pain, or if he wasn't giving me the medication I needed, or something like that, he would have just ended the appointment and come back in three months. He didn't have the professionalism to say, "Look, we're going to manage the pain for three months," or "This will pass." That didn't happen. He simply gave me a physical exam, a sensory exam, but I really didn't feel comfortable at all, thinking that he didn't care about how I was feeling.
