Erika Abueg DO is a family medicine practitioner with subspecialties in women's health and geriatrics. After earning her medical degree, she completed her residency at PIH Health Whittier Hospital, where she completed an academic track in the treatment of tropical diseases that consisted of extra training in Sierra Leone. At the conclusion of her residency, Dr. Abueg received the 'Above and Beyond the Call of Duty' award from the PIH Health Family Medicine Residency Staff.

Born to parents who both worked in healthcare, Dr. Abueg felt a natural draw toward a career in medicine. She says she also wanted to educate others on the value and importance of health and wellness.

"I chose family medicine as a specialty so I would have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with my patients," she explains. "I also want to be able to care for multiple generations within a family."

One of Dr. Abueg’s strength is her ability to build trust and rapport with patients. Family medicine allows her to see a variety of patients and concerns throughout the day, making every day interesting and fulfilling. She loves solving acute problems and managing chronic diseases to help her patients get better. She also likes to see patients gain more confidence in taking care of their own health.

In her free time, Dr. Abueg enjoys hiking with her dogs, exercising and playing board games with friends.

Seemed that the nurse that took my vitals was having a bad day? When I didn't hear her clearly and asked what was said, she responded with a bit of attitude. I guess repeating herself was troublesome. Mind you, she was asking me something while she took off the arm band, I couldn't hear anything other than velcro being pulled.

Hi, so my name is (PHI removed). I saw Dr. Erica Abueg regarding some swelling I was having in my ankles and I was hoping that she was going to order some lab work, you know, just to check, make sure everything was looking okay, but she had seen that I had lab work done in June and she said that my liver panel and kidney lab looked fine in June, so there really wasn't a point in doing lab work. But the thing is, I'm going in to see her this day for swelling in the ankles that had been just occurring in the last few weeks and you know just knowing that this could be signs of congestive heart failure or kidney disease, liver disease, I was concerned and I didn't want to like step on her toes or say hey well don't you think I need some lab work done since those that you're seeing in the

Dr. Abueg is always very patient and understanding.

The medical assistant that roomed me was very nice. The doctor listened to me and made me feel heard. The front office staff that checked me in was a little rude.
October 28, 2025
Definitely my husband and I always have a good experience with Dr. Abueg. Our relationship is very close and she has been since we chose her as our PCP. Very understanding and very helpful no doubt about it. She's the BEST!!!
October 14, 2025
I had to change providers this past year due to insurance and I have to say, switching to PIH has been a blessing!
October 13, 2025
Everyone was very professional, and I was able to get the care that I needed, and I appreciated that. And the lady that called me and said that I should schedule an appointment, she was able to schedule it in a timely manner. So, thank you for that.

October 02, 2025
New patient so I feel my opinion is still a bit difficult to confirm, but after two visits I look forward to what's going to be a beneficial partnership.
September 30, 2025
Extremely professional p. I was in and out in very reasonable time frame.
September 29, 2025
What happens is they only give you the appointment, twice a year. And sometimes you're dying, oh, well, the doctor isn't there, she's on vacation. she's always on vacation.
September 24, 2025
I met Dr Abueg when she was a Resident with the Family Practice program under the guidance of Dr (name removed). At the time I was hospitalized and she was making the rounds, but she was always first to come to my room to check in on me and share some friendly words and a warm smile. I then asked to be placed under HER care during her tenure until she graduated. I remained with the Family Practice Program until the age of 64 then decided that I required one single Physician to monitor my care rather than seeing someone new every two-three years. Seeing Dr Abueg practicing with PIH in my local area, it was a no-brainer to request a switch of locations/Primary Care Providers. I am thoroughly pleased with Dr Abueg and have had my younger Sister switch over from the Family Practice Center to Dr Abueg's care as well.
September 19, 2025
I like the service that they gave me with the doctor.
September 18, 2025
Yes, I had surgery a week ago, Thursday, and I was told upon leaving the hospital to call, make an appointment, and see my physician within two weeks, and that is not possible. That's why this physician that they assigned to me really basically didn't know what was wrong with me.
September 17, 2025
The entire staff were very welcoming and professional throughout my visit. Dr. Abueg was very attentive to my concerns and reviewed all new information in my chart. Dr. Abuegs nurse was very welcoming and instilled a positive environment before seeing the doctor.
September 17, 2025
She's the BEST
September 11, 2025
Dr. Abueg is great! She listens to me and care about my overall health. I don't feel like I'm being rushed, she sits down and listens to me. I know she is a great doctor and she truly cares about her patients. she always asks do you have any questions.
September 10, 2025
Dr Ebueg is always very thorough and engages proactively with me. She listens intently and answers my questions completely. I'm always pleased with the results of my visits.
September 10, 2025
Dr. Abueg is always knowledgeable, thorough, and personable! She is also one of the few doctors who responds through the portal in a timely manner!
September 09, 2025
This was 100 times better than my last experience, which was last year. I had an infection and I never got a call back from the doctor or the nurse. And I don't know if that would happen with your crisis at the hospital, phone numbers, but this time I had a pleasant experience.

June 24, 2025
I don't generally recommend health providers to anyone.
June 20, 2025
How was our experience? Always an excellent one! I changed providers for my son years ago, bringing him from peds to this family practice office. It was the best decision for us. My son, now turning 16, isn't resistant to seeing any provider. He feels comfortable, feels heard and respected. As a young person this is extremely important and has always felt this way around (name removed). Thank you to the office and provider for making him feel at ease about receiving care.
June 17, 2025
my appointment was made pretty easy online, got the best one available for me, easy process from beginning and end. everyone is friendly and i felt seen and respected by my provider, thanks for the help!

I like that she listens and she is not condescending. I feel free to be open with her. She has a sense of humor and we have lively discussions. She is approachable and I feel lucky to have her as my GP.
June 06, 2025
Dr. Abueg is like my very favorite doctor. She explains things. She takes time with me. And I had a question about something that came up on a test, and she called me back today because I was really concerned and soothed my worries. And the staff is very good and competent, and I'm very happy there. I love Dr. Abueg. Thank you.
June 05, 2025
Great doctor!
June 04, 2025
It's difficult to establish if I would share my experience with family and friends since we all have different Medicare plans. That said, I've been lucky to have such a personal and engaging PCP. She's one of my favs.
June 03, 2025
Dr. Abueg has been the best doctor I have ever seen for my general health. She listens, has appropriate responses, and recommendations. There needs to be more doctors Like her.,

May 09, 2025
I had requested an appointment with my doctor but couldn't see her. I guess because she was too full with other patients, so I saw another doctor. The new doctor was nice.
May 08, 2025
I really appreciated how well she interacted with me. She respected my choices while still explaining options that we're available. Both my Husband and I are going to stay with her as our primary care doctor.

April 21, 2025
This is a big thing for me ..Since changing my Primary Doctor to a PIH Doctor..She listen and talked to me instead of looking at a computer the whole time of my visit. Yes she has to input information but get to know your patients. I was impressed with my choice of picking my Doctor..
April 16, 2025
I find the rankings and pressing the numbers sometimes a little fast. I don't have a strong use of my stylus, so it might not register accurately all the time. But you tell me when I have to go back and press harder. That's all. I'm pleased with Dr. Abueg. She's a very attentive and very insightful doctor. She listens closely. Thanks very much. Bye.
April 15, 2025
I was very comfortable with Dr. Erika. I opened up to her about some concerns I had that I hadn't felt comfortable bringing up before and she listened carefully and validated my concerns. After the consultation, and after she had left the room, I remembered a question I had forgotten to ask and she was so gracious and walked back into the room with me and washed her hands and addressed my question. That made me feel very much seen and heard. I really felt she took her time with me and it's appreciated.
April 15, 2025
Dr. Abueg gave me the time I needed and made me feel at ease. She was very informative and very helpful.

I had made an appt to review my previous blood work. Unfortunately, there was no record of it (due to the breach PIH experienced). Was rather disappointed... as I now need to redo blood work and go back again to review.
March 31, 2025
Dr. Abueg is an excellent physician. She listens, respects a different opinion, is very knowledgeable. Overall, she is excellent, I trust her with my medical care.
March 24, 2025
I always have an informative visit. And if I have worries or concerns, I get explained and relieved not to fret.

I like my Doctor
March 13, 2025
I felt very uncomfortable with this Dr. she came in the room with attitude to begin with. Made me feel (words removed) with her reprimands about me not taking my blood pressure at home. Treated me like a toddler. I wish I could have recorded the visit. I'll never forget it. Never going back and will also ask family n friends to never pick her as a primary
March 10, 2025
Thank you because I didn't have an appointment, I felt very bad, and they gave me an appointment in two hours

The physician who treated me was so patient and caring.
February 27, 2025
She's a good doctor. Care for her patients.
February 21, 2025
Im a senior who had concerns and questions and the provider made me feel that they were not valid. I wouldn't be in a doctors office if I felt healthy, The provider was giving off a feeling of just get them in and out very cold. Its a shame because this office was considered outstanding years back. My mother who passed at 92 was treated well and with dignity, respect and good health care.
February 21, 2025
I would really like to give kuddos to the medical assistant who roomed me . She was very professional and kind. However , the doctor was not . She did not have great bedside manners nor I think she treated me with respect. From the start I could already tell it was not going to be a good experience . The doctor walked in and rolled her eyes , had very little eye contact , everything I would say she would say "oh I see " . Everything I would say would seem to bother her . Last year I was part of family practice on Whittier and this seems to be a common thing between these doctors - they don't care and the patient seems to be a bother . I was hoping by moving to Family Practice on Lambert things could be different and possibly have more pleasant experiences, but that was not the case with this provider. PIH is very big on patients first, but this is not the case with these family practice offices. It took me months to get an appointment for my blood pressure issues . This must change in order to change health outcomes.
February 21, 2025
The doctor is a wonderful doctor but back nurse needs to be more responsible for her patients
February 19, 2025
Dr Abueg takes her time to listen to your concerns. She explains clearly, is polite & very professional.
February 11, 2025
I love Dr. Abueg as she is very concerned about her patients and she has a wonderful bedside manner. She lets you know her concerns in a strictly professional manner as well.
February 10, 2025
I'm extremely satisfied with my doctor. She's always approachable and listens to everything that I have to say. She looks thoroughly through my records and gives me updates periodically of what's going on throughout my journey.
February 10, 2025
Have new insurance desk did not understand it. Did not seem willing to help out to clarify it. Had me sign waiver stating insurance was not able to be verified. Was not too happy with her response. Mentioned I spoke with a (name removed) at PIH who said I did not talk to her but how would I know her name if I did not. Hopefully PIH can resolve this matter. Thank you.
February 10, 2025
I am completely satisfied with the service provided by my doctor and the supplementary services provided by the people there. Everything is very good. Thank you very much and have a very good night. I am very satisfied and happy with doctor Erika.
February 07, 2025
The first answer should have been four, not one. And she's great. I really like her and would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you.
February 05, 2025
She. Stayed in room with me until I had gotten all my concerns dealt with and she seemed concerned about me as a person
February 03, 2025
Need to be able to compose a note to the doctor on the portal. Right now it's not working.
February 03, 2025
I was in and out of the office with labs done in 33 minutes!
January 31, 2025
Dr. Abueg really listens to all my concerns and since I don't like taking medications she suggests alternatives, but will also be direct if she thinks I need a certain medication. She cares about her patients health and well being and I appreciate her for that. I'm fortunate to have her for my primary doctor.
January 31, 2025
I had forgot to tell the Dr. something and before I left the office I asked the desk to relay a message to her and she said it wasn't possible and I needed to make another appt many months away.
