i got my questions asked but the visit was so short i felt rushed and not a lot of assessment that made me feel like i could be understood.

When I first got there the young girl in the front was so sweet and respect and she checked me in. Doctor was amazing and sweet. (name removed) her assistant was carrying and nice. I went back to the front to schedule another appointment and this time it was an older lady and she was very rude and unprofessional. I believe her name was (name removed) she needs some training on how to treat the patients.

Dr. Mercurio was efficient and effective, I was in and out and got my procedure taken care of painlessly. Thank you, Dr. Mercurio!

I scheduled an appointment only to show up and be told there was no appointment. I scheduled another and was called that need to reschedule due to doctor not going to be in. Finally got appointment, doctor nice and staff friendly. However appointment was for 10am but didn't get called to room until 10:25. Lots of waiting for this appointment to happen.

I felt this doctor was very kind and listened to me very well. She is a real asset to PIH

Hi, this was my first experience in OBGYN in some time. I neglected to go to my yearly visits. So my appointment today, or I'm sorry, yesterday, was giving me a little bit of anxiety. And I can definitely say that the staff there was very welcoming. They made me feel very comfortable. The assistant or the nurse that comes in to ask me questions, she was very friendly, made me feel very comfortable, made sure that I was good, asked if I needed anything, just walked along or talked along the steps of what we're going to do in the appointment and waited for my responses and asked if I was okay. And following shortly after that, the wait was not long. It was a very short wait. Doctor came in and she was very, very friendly, beautiful, glowing, pregnant.

Dr. Mercurio went above and beyond to make me feel like she cared and to help me plan out the process of when I might try and get pregnant. I have PCOS and her, I've never had someone like step-by-step count out the days of my cycle and to just make it seem like she cared just as much as I did. So I will be recommending her to every and all people who ask for a GYM. Thank you.

This visit was for my annual exam and a follow-up from last year. Dr. Mercurio seemed somewhat rushed, but still took the time to address my concerns. Overall, the service met my expectations.
April 07, 2026
I feel like Dr. Mercurio really listened to what I had to say and I feel like she is really going at my care and taking advantage of what techniques and all the different labs and scans and everything that we can do to figure out what's really going on with me and I really appreciate that. Thank you.

Dr Mercurio, was exceptional. Not only did she attend to my physical concerns but she also did a wellness check with me. She chatted with me about my personal life and she was so informative and concerned truly concerned.
March 25, 2026
Dr. Mercurio took her time and ensured I felt validated and supported through my appointment.
March 11, 2026
I just want to say that the nurse, (name removed), that checked me in was very nice and gracious, made me comfortable, and Dr. Mercurio also. I just love how she doesn't just dismiss you and she really listens and cares about her patients. Thank you so much.
March 11, 2026
I was extremely overdue for a well women checkup. I was able to get an appointment within 2 weeks of calling to schedule. I have a history of abnormal results and when I saw Dr. Mercurio she was extremely kind and answered ALL my questions. She put me at ease. Thank you!
March 11, 2026
My first visit to the Women's Center was with another Dr. A few days later I was not feeling very well but all I got to talk with was her nurse. I wasn't satisfied with the response I received. I ended up collapsing 3 days later because of loss of blood. I was taken to ER., admitted to hospital. I then had my procedure. I got 2 calls after all this was completed. The calls were about setting up a date for the procedure that I had already. I thought PIH was a place where Doctors could find out about their patient's history.
March 06, 2026
Dr. Mercurio is an amazing doctor. She listens to me and I genuinely believe she care for my whole being. She takes her time and we work together on a game plan for my future goals.
March 06, 2026
I appreciated everyone's kindness and respect.
March 02, 2026
I think the doctor was super sweet and nice. However, I do wish that maybe she had asked more questions for clarification and be able to hear my concerns a little bit more and to just tailor the experience like uniquely for my situation. But she was really nice, she was really sweet, but also the visit was super short. So that's it.
February 24, 2026
The office was well run. We got called back to the room in a timely manner. Dr. Mercurio was amazing. She was super nice and kind and knowledgeable and explained everything for the procedure for my son.
February 24, 2026
I appreciate the respect and timeliness of this practice.
February 23, 2026
I love Dr. Mercurio. She is the greatest. However, I am having some bleeding after my last visit and I'm going to need to contact her and let her know what's going on with me after removing my Morena IUD. But I really like Dr. Mercurio. She's awesome. She's down to earth and she's great. Thank you. Bye-bye.

The Doctor was very good and understanding.
February 23, 2026
Everything went smoothly
February 23, 2026
The provider was very pleasant, explained everything. tried her best to distract the procedure she needed to perform to ease you. Excellent experience. I will return to her.
January 22, 2026
Wish provider would have taken the time to look at my records before my visit. All my doctors have always been aware of my history not just the reason I was there.
January 12, 2026
Dr. Mercurio was comprehensive, thorough, sat with me through all my questions, was very patient throughout all of it. The staff was also amazing and I was able to get an appointment when I wanted, which is, I rated it wrong in the first question. I would say it's a four. I got the appointment when I needed it. Okay, thank you.
January 12, 2026
My experience was excellent. I was treated with such respect and I was treated so kindly and all of my questions were answered and I was left with a result that I was pleased with. I would recommend the doctor to anyone. The office staff was excellent also.
January 06, 2026
Personable and great energy!
January 05, 2026
Dr Mercurio listened to my concerns. She was gentle and explained what she was doing during the examination / procedure. Considering the type of examination I was scheduled for. It was overall a pleasant experience. Thank you ?
January 05, 2026
My doctor was amazing
January 05, 2026
Getting an appointment in a timely manner took a long time. But that seems to be an issue with other specialities. I liked Dr. Mercurio. She took her time to show me how to use the medicine. She answered all my questions and explained things slowly.

My doctor, Sasha Kang got called to the hospital and this doctor was able to step in and do my well woman exam.
December 16, 2025
The doctor and her assistant were wonderful. The check-in clerk was friendly and very patient with my questions.
December 09, 2025
When you make an appointment, they give it to you up to a month after you call. I just called to see my doctor and they gave me an appointment for January 16th, which is more than a month. That's what I wanted to tell you.
December 09, 2025
Excellent professional service from everyone. Thank you, thank you!
December 08, 2025
it is not right that there is charge of $5 to visit a Dr's office , when you already have a high copay and insurance premium. other pih locations dont charge for parking. there should be a waiver for office visits or lower the cost. I can understand thee fee for hospital visitors parking. the dr seems to be a good doctor , my first visit but she seemed a little stress and a little overwhelmed, maybe pih is loading them with too many patients. she answered all my questions but I can see she might be overwhelmed. I will like to see her again, I just hope pih does not overwhelm her with alot of patients . I also noticed several of your staff with bad colds, caugh, if they are to be at work , maybe they should not be in the front with the incoming patients.
December 04, 2025
The provider was not attentive to what I expected. The provider only spent a few minutes with me and didn't ask how I was doing or if I had any questions or concerns. All she did was look at the lap top briefly and that was it. Would not want to see this provider again if possible
November 20, 2025
I think the Dr. (name removed) was really nice and informative. However, the staff at the front desk can be trained more and to be more polite, welcoming. Front desk is very important. It sets the tone for an office setting. And when your front desk women are not making eye contact or don't smile or are not live, it just doesn't do well. And then also, I would recommend that when a patient is calling in to make an appointment that insurances are verified the day of as opposed to verifying the insurance when the patient has their upcoming appointment because we patients

They are efficient and they made me feel very comfortable.
November 14, 2025
Dr. Cariza Mercurio is amazing! She makes me feel seen and heard. I appreciate her. During my appointment i had my concerns and she assured me and also let me know what the next steps are. Thank you Dr. Mercurio
November 10, 2025
Thank you for caring about me and my needs. Also would like to thank (name removed), MA, for the time to listen to me during this difficult time that I'm having in my life and her kindness and understanding.
November 07, 2025
I felt like my provider didn't take my concerns about my pain seriously and brushed them off as normal even though the pain is too painful to be considered normal period pains
November 03, 2025
Dr Mercurio was very nice and gentle.
October 31, 2025
Most information and results were communicated with me, but a big portion of what I went for. My visit was not communicated with me, which was very important information until I reached out afterwards questioning it. But otherwise, staff was really nice, really kind, welcoming, and the whole experience was not bad at all.
October 30, 2025
The wait time for the doctor to come in to see me was very long. It was like 40 minutes probably.
October 07, 2025
I really appreciate how kind and helpful she was before she performed my D&C and at the follow up appointment. I've never had a D&C before and that was the third baby we've lost and she was of great comfort and helped us through the whole process.
October 07, 2025
Overall, very thorough in her explanations and made sure I fully understood the results that had not been discussed by a prior provider.
September 23, 2025
I didn't feel as if she cared much. Whenever I asked a question she would decline my request.
September 23, 2025
It was my first time scheduling/visiting the women's center. I was pleasantly surprised, because I didn't know the center existed. I've been a patient for years and didn't know I could schedule a pap smear through the center instead of waiting for months and months. I will definitely be back in the future and recommend friends. The Dr. was very caring and I was really comfortable and trusted her. Doctors like her keep me in the PIH group. Thank you.
September 16, 2025
Everything is great, the service is excellent, and I am very grateful for all the service I have received. Thank you very much.

The doctor was very thorough with me, explained everything so well. I will only go to her now. I've never gone to her, it's my first time, and it was a great experience.
August 22, 2025
Apt was at 1115, didn't actually see Dr until past 1230. That's too long of a wait.
August 22, 2025
Dr. Mercurio is an excellent physician and made me feel calmer. She explained the procedure is an easy matter. You can tell she is caring and genuine wanting to help.
August 21, 2025
Dr. Mercurio was very kind, she took time to listen and explain what was happening to me. The office staff was efficient and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Mercurio and PIH womens health care to my family and friends.

Very professional and very kind thank you!
August 15, 2025
This was my second Pap smear, first time with this doctor, and it was by far way more comfortable and easier than the first. She was fast and seamless in her work. Very professional. I already recommended her to my friend
August 13, 2025
I truly enjoy coming to see Dr Mercurio. She makes me feels so comfortable
August 05, 2025
Very professional and pleasant.
July 22, 2025
I had a wonderful experience during my visit with Dr. Cariza Mercurio. She took the time to explain everything to me in detail. She patiently answered all of my questions and truly made me feel comfortable and heard.
July 14, 2025
One small concern is that there is only paid parking. It seems like if patients are already paying for medical care that parking should be included with that. Paying for parking could be one extra barrier for patients who are low income.
