Diana Otuwa MD is a family medicine doctor who wanted to be a doctor since she was young. Her role model is her father, who is also a doctor. She became interested in science and volunteering as she grew older, and medicine perfectly combined the two.

Dr. Otuwa likes the breadth of family medicine. She can see patients of all ages with a variety of medical condition and build lasting relationships. Family medicine doctors see a little bit of every condition and there’s never a boring day. Dr. Otuwa has a passion for medical work abroad. During her residency at PIH Health Whittier Hospital, she was part of the tropical medicine track and went to Sierra Leone twice. Her family is from Nigeria and her father returns a few times a year to visit family and treat patients. She is looking forward to joining him in the future.

Patients may be surprised to learn that Dr. Otuwa loves musicals and comes from a large family where every gathering is a big party.

The doctor was really personable and nice, but she seemed confused about what I needed. She just didn't seem sure of herself, or that's the impression I got. And she said she was going to do a few things and she didn't do them, like order cough medicine, didn't do that. You know, it just seemed that, it seemed like she was new and maybe unsure of herself. That's all, but she was really nice and really personable. Thank you.

I am very comfortable with Dr. Diana Otuwa for my health and request her by name. I also love Ms. Ethel, the receptionist. She is so very very helpful to me. I had an extremely positive experience.

Dr. O is an amazing doctor who shows a lot of care and empathy for her patients and she takes time to listen and to evaluate and to just make the patient feel better.

I don't have a huge issue with this office. The providers are good. It's just hard to get a hold of anyone when needed. Luckily I don't have any major health issues so it's rare for me. But I have been frustrated with the limited communication at times.

This is the first time I've seen this doctor. I was previously seeing another doctor, but she's no longer with PIH. I already have a medical history; I don't need to start from scratch, and I feel like she didn't take into account the necessary testing for my headache. She prescribed me some migraine pills, which I don't think is the problem. I'd like a more in-depth test. Thank you.

I met for the first time Dr. Diana Otuwa and her medical team, and I immediately felt comfortable and "heard!" They exhibited people skills (such as active listening among others) which are capital in creating trust between physicians and their patients - healthy foundation! In brief, it was an awesome medical consultation experience!

She is a very kind, courteous provider. Takes time to run tests to find answers to patients symptoms. Makes patients feel comfortable, and at ease.

We didn't talk about test such as a mammogram, and any other routine screenings and I forgot to ask. In a previous visit I was told I needed a booster of the TDAP. When I switch over to PIH I provide my immunization records from Kaiser and at the time of my previous visit those records had not been included in my medical records. I brought the subject up and the doctor said she would check that. We did not discuss any shots or test that may be needed now or in the future. Hopefully all is well.

Yes, she gave me a lot of attention. She was very alert. Any questions I had, she answered. Good personality, polite. Definitely, I would recommend her to anyone. Yeah, I give her an A. Okay. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

Dr Otuwa and the nurse were great. Everything was clearly explained. The only thing that I had trouble with is the call center. I would wait for almost an hour for someone to pick up several times. I remember once it said the hold time was 7 minutes, but nobody picked up until 45 minutes later. It seems like that call center is significantly understaffed. This is dangerous because it prevents making an appointment, which impacts patient care. I was with Kaiser most of my life, and I have never seen wait times on the phone like this. Also, last year, I selected the option for the call center to call me back instead of waiting, and nobody called back. Please help the call center staff!!!

I felt very reassured that she was sincerely concerned about me.

I scheduled the appointment to get a hormonal panel and the doctor did not want to order the hormonal panel. That is my feedback. I was frustrated.
