Patient Reviews

January 21, 2026
Dr. Barrios took her time to answer my questions, I had a minor in office procedure and she made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Those things are never comfortable and even a little awkward but I felt totally at ease with her. I will definitely be changing over my care to her.

The wait time at PIH Mammoga is becoming so long. I have an appointment and I had to wait over an hour to be seen by the provider. Normally I wait only five minutes and 10 minutes after I arrival, so please improve on that.
January 08, 2026
I was very happy with my treatment by the nurses and by the doctor.

Hi, Dr. Barrios, she was very pleasant, took the time to listen to my needs and was very cordial with me and provided me with answers that I needed. I am very happy with her services and I would definitely recommend her.

I felt rushed, and almost felt like I didn't need to be there. The first thing the provider said was, "you're up to date with everything." I brought my previous records, which she indicated she reviewed. She didn't mention any follow up needed during my visit until I specifically mentioned I was insecure about performing my (word removed) exam, and I wanted to ensure to check on my (word removed) density. As she was rushing out of the exam room, I asked about a friable (word removed) indication that was noted from my previous record. She didn't mention when I need another pap, when I should consider replacing my IUD, or what changes to look for with my breast. Her inattentiveness was definitely not a good match for me.

Very pleased with Dr. Barrios.

Made me feel very comfortable and explained everything with detail

The receptionist was very welcoming and made sure to help get my future appointments booked while I was waiting. I was 15 minutes behind of my appointment and they still were able to squeeze me in and not didn't have me waiting too long. I really appreciated their flexibility. Everyone was very, very accommodating.

She did an ultrasound for like 10 seconds. Didn't really show the baby. I think she could have done a little bit longer, but that's it.
November 12, 2025
I really like the service they provide there, that's why I go there. And I definitely tell my whole family to go there, and my sister goes there too. Well, thank you very much.
November 07, 2025
Very satisfied, very good experience.
October 29, 2025
I am very grateful for your excellent service, both from the doctor and all the staff. Thank you very much.

I really really like Dr Barrios. She's very polite, is always concerned about why I'm there and takes her time asking me questions and giving me explanations as to procedures in taking care of my medical condition. Always makes sure I totally understand our conversation and has never made me feel uncomfortable. I need to find more Doctors like her because I've had Doctors with attitude and have made me feel like I'm being a bother. Please acknowledge her great work and make sure to let her know about the good review.
October 22, 2025
She was very respectful of my wishes and gave me plenty of options and explained when I felt uneasy about certain things
October 15, 2025
Very professional.

I was here for like 3 hours, being alone in the exam room after seeing my nurse for about 30 minutes, and at the end when requesting a dr note was forgotten about for 25 minutes and had to ask again, but the office staff was very kind and apologetic. This was my first visit and everyone was very kind and welcoming. I really feel comfortable with Dr Barrios and she was very respectful of my feelings and ensured I was comfortable the whole time. Overall, I am very comfortable and happy with this location and staff :)
September 12, 2025
Dr. Barrios was wonderful and I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know
September 08, 2025
The provider was very, very good, respectful. She listened to my concerns, and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. Overall, a great experience, and I will be coming back.
September 08, 2025
Our appointment was at 11am I arrived 10 minutes before and were not called in until 12:02 pm. We still waited for the provider insider the room for more than 25 minutes and the consultation only lasted less than 10 minutes. I have never waited that long to be seen with an appointment. The provider was exceptional however it felt as if we were in an urgent care due to the long wait. I had to ask for time off at work and went over the time requested due to how long it took to be seen. Definitely not I'll request to go to a different office next time hopefully closer and faster service.

I waited over an hour to see her. Unacceptable! Once she finally came into the room, she was in a hurry, rude and acted like she had a very bad day. Not something any patient wants to see. Spending 5-7 mins with a patient that's been waiting over an hour without even an apology or explanation is not professional nor acceptable. I originally requested to see Dr Leong who I have been seeing for years, however, she was booked too far out. I don't complete surveys when they are sent to me, but felt I needed to complete this one. She needs to be schooled.

Erica Barrios took the time to listen to my concerns, assisted me to get paperwork I would need to get medical records from other organization. She ensured she set up a Telehealth appointment to go over blood results in advance, as well as my next appointment. She provided me an order to get my Colo screening and breast screening. I appreciated her time and concern. The only recommendation I have is the staff to document my history on a computer. I completed it on a tablet, gave it to MA and then again to doctor. It would be helpful to have my information accessible so I don't need to continuously repeat.

Love this provider. Her and her nurses made me feel very comfortable.
August 18, 2025
First time with Dr. Barrios but had a pleasure meeting her, and comfortable with her being my OBGYN. Nice to talk to, made me comfortable I wasn't nervous
July 03, 2025
i was placed in the room on time but was seen after 40 minutes of waiting
July 02, 2025
It can be difficult to find appointments but if you are flexible, you usually can.
June 27, 2025
Wait time in exam room was a little bit long.
May 30, 2025
I'm just glad that I got the answers that I needed.

I've had GYN appts in three different depts. there at PIH. One was from my GP, 3 or 4 in an OB/GYN office and one in the imaging ctr. Not once have I ever been given a single thing to clean up with. I have blood and GYN goop running down between my legs and I just have to use the paper sheet that was over me to wipe up some of it so it doesn't soak through my clothes on the way home. Not to mention that it's just gross. And inconsiderate. Last time I wore a small pad but it wasn't enough even after perfunctory cleanup. Back in the day, women were given some towelettes and a maxi pad after such an exam. Seems like a small and inexpensive, but appreciated, gesture for PIH to make towards its OB/GYN patients
May 19, 2025
The provider and the staff were wonderful. Thank you, PIH. I used to work for you guys probably 15 years ago and I knew I can come back because I knew the providers were great. Thank you very much. Have a great day. END
May 19, 2025
I waited an hour for them to call me in and then another 30 minutes before the Dr came in the room. And no one apologized or explained what the wait was. I have never waited that long before, and I see Dr (name remove) for myself. They always inform me if it's the slightest bit of wait. So I definitely have something to compare to. Our appt was 3:30 and we walked out around 5:15 and no one was there to tell us they were closed to schedule a follow up. Not even the staff that walked us out. Very unprofessional. And I was very disappointed. I have never had a bad experience with PIH till now.
May 14, 2025
Everything went very well. Dr. Barrios was knowlegabke and very nice. Explained everything very well.
May 13, 2025
Dr. Barrios was over 30 minutes late to my appointment with no communication from staff to update on timing. She was mostly cold as she had no real bedside manner. She also was not very friendly to the rest of the staff. When I asked a question of her at the end of the appointment, she talked through her nurse instead of directly to me and I was standing right next to her.
May 13, 2025
I am disappointed that the front office did not give paperwork to another department in a timely manner. I missed an opportunity to get a 13 week ultrasound due to this error. I've had other children, however, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I was a new mom or if this child would be my only. That type of error should not happen.
May 13, 2025
I understand that there are times when the front office could get busy but to be called in to see the doctor 30 minutes after your appointment is a little too much especially since we were 15 minutes early. My appointment was at 4:00 and we didn't get called in to see the doctor until 4:30 and that was after I asked the front desk if we were going to get called. Once inside the room we still had to wait another 40 minutes to be seen by the doctor. I again had to ask the nurses if they had forgotten about us in the waiting room. We didn't leave the office until 5:30 the doctor only spoke to my doctor for 5-8 minutes.

I had such a great experience at this facility. The entire staff, from my check in, to the nurse, to Erica were AMAZING!!!!
May 12, 2025
She is GREAT! ?seeing a female doctor is wonderful.
May 08, 2025
My first time to be seen by dr. Barrios. I am very satisfied that she heard my concerns and has started to take action immediately. I am very happy .
May 07, 2025
Needed fast apt due to sever uncomfort but got apt almost a month later. Besides that, the provider, the nurse and the receptionists were all amazing. Thank you!
May 06, 2025
Thank you very much for your service. I like it.
May 05, 2025
I would have appreciated if the medical assistant was a little bit more considerate and respectful of my time by saying, I'm sorry, we are running behind. We will get back with you as soon as possible. I also would have appreciated if after waiting for about an hour, the assistant would have come and say, we will be with you shortly. I'm sorry about the delay. Some kind of attention, not just ignoring and having a cold face like if I don't even exist. I would have appreciated if the doctor was already prepared to see me by reviewing my records prior to my appointment instead of trying to see what's going on right in front of me.
April 29, 2025
I felt finally heard and understood. My symptoms have been dealing with over a year and just now did i find out my reason why but was brushed off by other doctors I've seen . Barrios took the time to look over my previous appts and explained to me what was wrong. I appreciate that. Because I was clueless for a year, because I was never before told even with the tests I had !!!! I was told everything was normal but its definitely not!!
April 28, 2025
My experience was great with my provider and medical assistant as well as front office rep but the (name removed) the phlebotomist was not professional at all and i was very triggered by demeanor. I was asked to state my last and name and dob and i did which he stated "now lets slow down" after he asked if i was afraid of needles he asked how my day was going i answered with "good " he replied with "are you going through something" and i felt like none of those comments were necessary I'm a PIH employee and 30 weeks and being treated this way I could only imagine how he treats other patients
April 28, 2025
I waited over 35 minutes just to be seen which is ridiculous for something that could have been told to me over the phone by office staff who set up the appointment. Also no one should have to pay for parking when seeing a medical provider.
April 28, 2025
An hour wait the lobby and another 35 mins wait in the assigned room. Too much time spent waiting. If they cant see the patients in a timely manner, they should space out the bookings.
April 25, 2025
Dr. Erica Barrios was so thorough when she saw me. She checked the amniotic fluid amount, went over my PT recommendations and birth plan. Im so pleased with her. I really enjoyed her presence.

Erica Barrios was every assisting to my medical concern. She took the time to listen to my me and also made sure I totally understood what she was explaining. I felt very comfortable.
April 09, 2025
Dr. Barrios demonstrated true compassion for my daughters issues. She treated her as a unique individual. Discussed difficult topics in a way that my daughter understood and could accept. She truly showed she has an exceptional bedside manner and a caring heart for her profession and her patients. MA was also very caring and compassionate. Sorry I cannot remember her name.
April 07, 2025
Whittier Women's Center was tremendously professional in the utmost professionalism and customer service care. (Four names removed) and Dr. Barrios were marvelous. I highly recommend them.
March 28, 2025
I am new to PIH so there was limited information about my medical history. Erica Barrios was patient, courteous, and listened to me. I felt heard and she took the time to gather history about my past positive tests to determine the best course of action.
March 28, 2025
Very good & caring doctor. Explained everything to me
