Dr. Barrios is attentive, thorough, gives time for questions and doesn't feel rushed. I dont feel dismissed due to her way of attending to concerns, as minor as they may appear. It truly feels like collaborative work. I enjoy seeing Dr. Barrios.

Dr. Barrios and her medical assistant showed the utmost professionalism in customer service, answering my questions for the MA. Also for my provider, Dr. Barrios is great, was very thorough, went over everything with me and explained everything even with graphics. I'm grateful to her. Thank you.

I had a great experience. However the wait time was too long. I was there in the room close to 45 min before being seen. I don't think it was her fault, but it most definitely was an inconvenience. Especially since my previous experiences with PIH appointments I have had to wait close to an hour over my appointment time.

As a first time parent, and first time ever having an ultra sound, there really wasn't much explaining as to what she was doing/what was going on. At the end of the appointment before she was about to walk out, my husband pointed at our ultrasound picture and asked for an explanation of what we were looking at. Although we didn't have any questions, it would've been nice if she was a little more personable/informative. Though I do understand she must've been very busy as appointments were backed up about 45 mins. I'll most likely use a different provider next time. Drawing blood didn't go too well either. The phlebotomist missed my vein, then said she was going to fish for it. After doing so for a couple seconds, she went to get a new needle for the other arm. She walked out and said "I missed." I've never had this happen before. Then, there was no table set up next to her for her to put the tubes and supplies on so there was quite a bit of movement everytime she changed the tubes which caused a bit of pain. Hoping it goes smoother next time.

Dr Barrios was amazing. She's the best doctor I have seen in a long time. Understanding, patient, attentive, caring. PIH is lucky to have her.

The only part where I feel that that medical office can improve is the front staff attitude. I feel like they didn't show a happy face to help. They had a face of a like, I don't want to be here. And that's all I had to say.

Attentive Professional Patient care Easy parking Now I know where its located

The doctor is an excellent professional; she listened attentively, explained everything in detail, and her time with me was truly quality time. I'm definitely happy I chose her as my gynecologist. The staff was also very helpful.

The wait time was very long and I was not seen by the provider I scheduled my appointment with. The receptionist are not very helpful . They are difficult to communicate with . Seems they do not want to be bothered .

The staff in this office were especially respectful and pleasant to speak to.

I appreciated the doctor explaining what she was doing as she was doing and clear information provided.
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.
January 06, 2026
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.

Very satisfied, very good experience.

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

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.

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.

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

i was placed in the room on time but was seen after 40 minutes of waiting

It can be difficult to find appointments but if you are flexible, you usually can.

Wait time in exam room was a little bit long.

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

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.
