I would like to comment on EYEWEAR Technician (name removed), She was so understanding, kind and extremely Patient with me. She completely went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with my choice of prescription Glasses. (name removed) took xtra time with me had so many sample Glasses out and went over each pair with great compassion for me to feel comfortable with my purchase. (name removed) is quite competent and she is a very dedicated employee. Thankyou (name removed), Sincerely (PHI removed)

Dr. Chen is an excellent care giver. She is very thorough and professional. I highly recommend her. As to the office staff. There could be some improvement there. Maybe some Disney customer service training or learning a little sense of humor might help. The eye glass section needs work!

My visit was very pleasant & all went smoothly. Jennifer Chen was very friendly & knowledgable. Office staff were efficient & worked quickly. (name removed) who fitted me for eye glasses was very helpful making sure my new glasses fit well, looked good on me & were within budget. She spent extra time just conversing with me which I appreciate. Obviously this lady is excellent in her career but takes things further with her attempts to make the patient feel comfortable. Thank you

I had a great experience considering the reason I was there. The doctor as well as the staff was very sympathetic to my need an understanding the amount of pain and discomfort I was in.
April 15, 2022
Jennifer talked a little too quickly for me a hard of hearing person to grasp everything on first hearing.
April 15, 2022
I enjoyed this doctor very much. She was very courteous, polite, and interested in everything. She had to do with me. And I would, I would recommend her to anybody. I came across. Thank you.
April 07, 2022
Clearly Dr. Chen is a very good doctor, but the amount is time to schedule the appointment took much. So disappointed there, but definitely a very good doctor.
April 06, 2022
I chose Pih because it's close to home and I figured it was convenient and all my records can be in one place, because felt the exams was rushed by dr Jen, I won't be going back to Pih for optometrist services, I will be going back to my old Drs office in Fullerton.

I really enjoy this office.
February 24, 2022
Yes, I need to get my eyes done quicker. I have an appointment sometime in June, and it seems like that's too far away. I would like to have something done quicker.
February 17, 2022
The overall experience was great and I hope that it continues to be great.
February 17, 2022
The entire staff at PIH Health Eye Care Center is excellent. They took the time and effort to help me understand the condition of my eyes that made it easier to accept the fact that I must wait a little longer to have the cataract removed. From the very first time I went to this office, I was welcomed and treated as a valued patient.
February 17, 2022
I wanted to tell you that Dr. Chen, who saw me and gave me a good exam, did my eyes, I am very grateful to her, as well as to the hospital and all the members of the hospital. Thank you, have a good night, God bless you.
February 15, 2022
The staff was great the Nurse he was awesome and very professional the doctor how can I say what i need to say except for I felt comfort and relief because he knows what he is doing I truly felt safe. I hope my surgery goes well because I do trust him.......
February 14, 2022
Since the last time I had an appointment, something had changed in insurance coverage and this was not communicated to me until after I had already received the services. I wish they would have communicated that up front so I would not have been surprised at the new change and fees incurred as a result.
February 10, 2022
Dr. Chen is very nice and understanding the girls in the office of pretty good too. And I had been going there for several years now and I have the same experience that is always decent and pleasant and nice.

Thank you so much.
February 01, 2022
They all very professional and polite!! No need for further improvement.
February 01, 2022
You cannot get timely appointments with ANY doctor in the PIH system. It is absurd.
January 31, 2022
Every staff member is courteous and professional.
January 28, 2022
It to bad you have to wait so long for a next appointment
January 26, 2022

Always a nice and pleasant experience.
December 30, 2021
I am very happy with the care that all the doctors have given me there at the clinic except once, well, if not, I have not been able to go to my family doctor, but it is because of the pandemic that it has gone through, but I am happy with everything. I have nothing else, thank you for your attention.
December 28, 2021
Excellent
December 28, 2021
It went very well they all were nice and professonal. My mom was my ride to the location and I had her check her insurance to go there. I look foreward for future visits.
December 20, 2021
Excellent professional.
December 14, 2021
The visit was on-time and efficient. The staff, Dr. Chen, and [name removed] the optician were all very friendly. The only thing that would have made this beyond a 10 rating is if I was asked to fill out the yearly documentation online prior to my visit, much like how I do with my PCP visits in PHI using the Phreesia system. That would be nice to not worry about filling out that paperwork while in the waiting area. In fact, the staff even forgot about it until I was already in the room waiting for Dr. Chen.
December 10, 2021
Everybody employee in office was very nice. A+ to everyone! And the MD was Awesome.
December 06, 2021
It took a few months to get an appointment to see the optometrist... But other than that everything went great!
December 01, 2021
It was a very good experience. The people were very , very nice, but it takes forever to get an appointment. That was the most disgusting part. Just I couldn't believe it. I could not believe that I have to wait 3-6 weeks. So anyway, that's what experience I had, but I was thrilled with what I got. Thank you very much.
November 29, 2021
The Urgent care staff in Montebello were very efficient and courteous. Dr. Chen listened to my concerns and and was very clear in her diagnosis and path forward.

doctor showed a concern for my health. she was patient with me and my questions
November 01, 2021
When I saw Dr. Chen Monday morning, she was very professional, very courteous and she saw me in a very timely manner and I was very impressed. And again, not that I want to be overly ... in so many words, glad that PIH is available to us, but I'm just happy with your organization. Thank you very much and goodbye.

October 27, 2021
I was supposed to be seen by the opthamologist because I'm a diabetic and Dr. Chen, she examined me, and but we didn't order glasses or anything because I need to see the opthamologist which I didn't see him. His, I can't get an appointment till June. I mean, so December 23rd. Now, that's way over there. A way. I had to wait a month and a half for this appointment. And now another 2 months for the other to see the opthamologist, so I wasn't too happy about that because my eyes are really bad. Bye.
October 27, 2021
vIt was very easy!
October 18, 2021

Jennifer Chen is the best doctor. She is attentive and listens to her patients. She is very smart and explains everything to you. I am so happy to have Jennifer as my doctor.
October 08, 2021
The office staff and Dr are excellent. Only complaint is it took over a month to get a appointment.
October 06, 2021
It appeared as the optician fitting me for glasses was attempting to up-sell me on glasses. I asked for just the prescription, now I need to return tomorrow for the PD measurement to order on-line.
October 06, 2021
I was glad to be able to be seen the same I called due to my concern with eye. The doctor and staff were was very caring.
October 06, 2021
I was extremely surprised and grateful that after calling for an appointment with an eye emergency, I was able to be seen by Dr Chen in 25 minutes! That was amazing! Dr Chen did a very thorough exam and was able to communicate what was going on with me and gave me assurance that I was okay, as well as let me know what I should be watching for in the future. Thank you Dr Chen!
