Great treatment!
April 24, 2026
Thank you so much for the attention I received on the day of my appointments, to all the reception staff and everyone who assisted me. And thank you to Jessica Rivera for her kindness and for listening to me the entire time I was there. Thank you all, and God bless you all. Thank you.
April 23, 2026
Experience with the doctor was great but too difficult to get or to schedule an appointment. Went online and took 2.5 months to get to see a primary doctor.
April 23, 2026
It was my 1st visit with the doctor . I was very impress how d Dr,Rivera was very easy to communicate with.very good doctor .I hope she stays and PIH should give her a raise.
April 20, 2026
Jessica was great. I had so much going on and she listened . Requests for radiology appts and adjusted meds. Follow up scheduled. Office staff very helpful and kind.
April 15, 2026
I recently switched from Kaiser to PIH and the first experience was amazing. The staff, including the PA were very attentive and very welcoming. I was recommended this office and I will definitely be recommending it to others including family.
April 06, 2026
Jessica was great, speaking clearly and loudly enough for my hearing impairment. She was very professional and I felt like she was not as rushed as my PCP.
April 01, 2026
I waited 3 months to get her first available appointment. That's ridiculous. Then I go to my appointment to find out she's running behind because of the computer system. Really??
March 27, 2026
She is a amazing Doctor Very knowledgeable Very efficient Very concerned Finds solution to my problem Love her Very kind Don't lose her
March 25, 2026
So I am a new patient with PIH. I'm coming from Kaiser and Jessica, my physician, did a very good job, very professional. She sat there very patiently and waited for me to ask all the questions and then she responded with all her best answers. I am very happy with the service that I got from Jessica. I will go back and I was kind of worried because I wanted to see the doctor, but I think I'm very pleased with Jessica's service.
March 20, 2026
Very knowledgeable in her work. I felt good after leaving the office. Gave me my referrals and told me what to expect.
March 18, 2026
Hi, I really liked Jessica Rivera because she listens to me and speaks Spanish well.
March 16, 2026
Very good doctor and nurses, everybody was very good. Thank you.
March 16, 2026
Nearly 2 months to get an appointment. Only got it this "early " because it was to refill medications. . Had a pine needle in my foot that I could not pull out. Callus grew around it so I eventually could cut off the callus myself. But by the appointment i knew she needed an update of my multiple medical issues and my foot had healed. I have long covid and exhaustion that makes going to urgent care exhausting and being around sick people makes getting sicker more likely. Besides they would give me grief from coming in with a problem splinter .
March 12, 2026
I appreciate Dr. Jessica Rivera. She was so friendly, very nice, I believe knowledgeable. She took her time to pay attention about explaining what's happening to me. She was nice. I like her. Better than some doctors in Presbyterian. I would go back to her again. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Rivera, for your service.
March 06, 2026
It to bad that the doctors are on a time limit with each patient due to insurance companies.
February 25, 2026
Overall went well. I just feel i did have to wait too long in the waiting room see her?.
February 13, 2026
I was seen by PA Jessica Rivera, who was assisted by Nurse (name removed) for vitals. Both were respectful, and took their time to provide me with the best care during my visit. Mrs. Rivera always does a great job, and provides me with beneficial feedback to assist in addressing my health needs. Thank you as always for your great service!
February 13, 2026
Dr Rivera is very attentive to my needs
February 12, 2026
Very professional and knowledgeable.
February 12, 2026
The medical assistant was very friendly & the NP Jessica was very informative
February 09, 2026
She was very attentive and really listened to me about my various health issues.
February 06, 2026
Yes, the physician assistant, Jessica Rivera, was not very professional, not very listening, very robotic, a bit condescending, not really listening to the patient. I would not recommend her to anybody. Next time I would definitely make an appointment with my primary care physician, but I think this is the last time I will be making any appointments with Jessica Rivera. She's very rude.
January 26, 2026
It takes a few months just to get a physical. That's my only disappointment with this office. And actually any appointment, it takes weeks. I can't get in in a week or two like I used to.
December 19, 2025
I was treated good. Do I press two?
December 18, 2025
She was very nice. No complaints
December 12, 2025
She's very good nice and kind
December 11, 2025
All staff were customer friendly and professional.
December 11, 2025
It was my first time being seen by Dr Rivera. I felt very comfortable and telling her my symptoms she listened to what I had to say, and answered my questions to my satisfaction. I was very satisfied with my visit.
December 11, 2025
I enjoyed my visit with Jessica who was very helpful and informative.
December 05, 2025
PA Jessica Rivera is attentive and professional. She has a great "bed side" manner and answered my questions. PA Jessica Rivera has been my practitioner for over 3 years. I appreciate her!! Thank you!! (PHI removed)
December 03, 2025
My only issue was scheduling an appointment, the first available one was like 4 months out. Other than that, it was great. Jessica is an empathetic, knowledgeable provider who listens and addresses all your concerns. She actually listens to what you have to say and my visits never feel rushed.
December 03, 2025
Jessica is kind, listens to patients, and provides solutions. I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you very much.
December 01, 2025
My experience was wonderful. The only complaint I have is it took several months to get an appointment. Thank you.
December 01, 2025
Doctor needs to spend more time with their patients, not be in such a rush.
November 12, 2025
It took too long to get an appointment. I had to end up going to urgent care initially. Then I received a call three weeks later saying there was an opening. But initially, it was going to take about a month to see the doctor, and I feel that is unacceptable.
November 10, 2025
Thank you
November 06, 2025
I'm very excited and very satisfied to see Jessica. She did a great job, but I would like to other providers follow up and do their work properly. But Jessica is the best, best doctor. Thank you.
November 06, 2025
I think my Dr is great and feel very comfortable with her.
November 06, 2025
Excellent service was provided by Jessica and the staff
November 03, 2025
It was great ?
November 03, 2025
It was very nice.
November 03, 2025
I was a patient of Randy Holmes for more than 30 years, so it felt a bit strange to connect with a new provider who doesn't know me. That's an adjustment for me, not the fault of anyone on staff. It was my first physical fully clothed and not providing a urine sample. Just different for me.
October 31, 2025
Staff and provider were good, but it took 45 minutes to be seen by the provider.
October 30, 2025
I was only able to get this appointment due to a cancellation. I had to keep calling back to check for openings. I HIGHLY recommend you opening back up the availability of other nearby doctors offices and have a waiting list for cancellations where the patient is called when there is an opening
October 24, 2025
I really appreciate Jessica. She was fantastic, all evaluation as far as suggestions and what maybe they can do and can't do. And added that at that time, I could get a flu shot. I didn't even have to make an appointment just because I was there for a different purpose. But she covered all bases. God bless. Okay, thank you. Bye-bye.
October 24, 2025
The waiting time was minimum. Front desk was quick and friendly.
October 15, 2025
It is shocking to me that I am not able to schedule appointment with a Doctor until next year. Instead they gave me a cancellation with a PA. Jessica Rivera was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and took the time to explain everything. I got lucky there was a cancellation for her, if not I would be still waiting. Thank you Jessica.
October 13, 2025
Treatment, patience.
October 13, 2025
I was pressing two and I should have been pressing four. The doctor was very courteous and answered all questions and assisted me through my other doctor's appointment. So I was very appreciative of all that she did. Thank you.
October 10, 2025
Yes, I am very happy with PIH's service. It's been excellent so far. I just became a member with your insurance, and I'm very, very satisfied so far. I'd like to thank you so much. Bye-bye.
September 26, 2025
Jessica was very professional and thorough.
September 26, 2025
Up and beyond my expectations. Very knowledgeable and attentive.
September 25, 2025
Yes, I was at the doctor's office because I didn't feel good and it takes too long to check in because I had to do the little computer box with all the answers and questions which you guys already had in file. Isn't it much easier just to ask the patient if anything has changed instead of making you go through that when you're not feeling good? That was my biggest problem. I wasn't very happy with spending all that time filling out the same old, same old when you guys have everything already on file. That's it.
September 12, 2025
I was satisfied with the time I spent on this appointment. Thank you.
September 12, 2025
Since moving over from Kaiser! My service and care has improved 100%
September 10, 2025
This was my first visit. I had to schedule in advance almost 2 months to get a new patient appointment. Other than that, it was a efficient and friendly experience.
September 09, 2025
Jessica Rivera is the very first person I saw when I came to PIH. She's wonderful. She looked at me fully. I'm a double amputee. I'm 74 years old, and I had a number of issues when I first met Jessica. She addressed those issues when she first met me, and she addressed those issues the same exact way the last time I saw her. She and Dr. (name removed) are outstanding. Whoever trained Jessica Rivera, she has thrived under their auspices and guidance. And I have always received the best customer satisfaction and care when I go to see Jessica Rivera or Dr. (name removed). It's worth saying because I worked in hospitals my entire life, but I am a handicapped person and I can appreciate the time and effort that they put
September 05, 2025
I would like to make an appointment sooner if I could make an appointment earlier than
September 04, 2025
She was patient and thorough and a good listener to me as a patient. I certainly would like to have her as my general doctor going forward. She does give you good feedback and you feel like you connect and that she understands why you're there and the needs that you have. And the questions that she provides to you or the answers she provides to you are clear and concise and make made me feel like I did have a doctor that I could talk to.
September 04, 2025
wish in could get help once logged in to your portal i can see any of my information from my doctors or blood result.!!!! help.
September 03, 2025
Calling in whole time is awful. Getting an appointment three, two months, three months down the road is awful. And just having to wait for a doctor visit, that's it.
September 02, 2025
The people I spoke with and the people that listened to my issues treated me with kindness and respect, and I really appreciated that because I'm going through some scary things right now, like memory loss. It felt good and comforting to talk to these professionals about what's happening to me. I would recommend them to all my friends and loved ones.
August 29, 2025
PIH is excellent!
August 27, 2025
Very satisfied with the care. The doctor was very attentive and prompt. She gave me all my referrals. I'm very satisfied. I've just started, and I already believe this is the place for me. I'm very grateful.
August 21, 2025
I thought I was seeng the doctor not a PA would have been nice to know beforehand.
August 18, 2025
After waiting about four months for this appointment and not having a physical in over a year, I rescheduled this appointment from a previous one that I had with my provider, Dr. (name removed), canceled that one because I was sick, rescheduled with this PA. She spent hardly any time with me, didn't give me much feedback. I didn't have much information to work on. She just said I'm fine.
August 14, 2025
This pretty much sums it up
August 07, 2025
I just love Jessica Rivera. She is always in the present for me and listens to all my health concerns. Especially now that I'm going through Chemo she wants to be on top of everything and not overlook any major changes in my health due to my weakened immune system and to call her with any concerns I may have and she will see me. Jessica is a great asset to Dr (name removed). Thank you for your care Jessica.
August 01, 2025
Jessica was extremely patient and very thorough. She took the time to listen to what we had to say and made sure we had all of our questions answered before we left.
July 28, 2025
Jessica was covering Dr. (name removed) appointments who is on maternity leave. Due to setting up my next appointment for Dr. (name removed), we were unable due to next appointment goes into next years calendar and was unavailable to schedule anything. I must call sometime in October to schedule my next Follow up appointment.
July 21, 2025
Jessica was compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable. I appreciated her time with my family.
July 18, 2025
Everything felt rush., I think practitioner was behind on patients and I wish she would have asked me more questions at the end like do you have any questions or concerns?
July 18, 2025
She is very knowledgeable Very concerned Very nice and helpful Very kind A wonderful P A
July 16, 2025
Dr. Rivera was excellent! She answered all my questions and also gave me some good ideas for going forward with the health concerns. Assistant Andrew was also excellent, and very professional! What a great team! Everyone in the PIH office is always very nice. I miss seeing (name removed), who I saw every time I saw Dr. (name removed)! She is a wonderful person!!!
July 16, 2025
Dr. Rivera took her time to listen to our concerns and addressed all of them. Thank you.

Jessica listened to my concerns and addressed them immediately. I was so grateful that she took the time to hear me and comply,
July 09, 2025
Jessica is a great representative of PIH. She is compassionate and knowledgable PA. She explains things in an understandable manner. Her nurse is also wonderful. He is caring and kind. They both give you the feeling that you are deeply cared for and about.
June 27, 2025
Jessica Rivera took her time with me listening to what I had to say. She is caring and professional at the same time.
June 17, 2025
I had Jessica, and she was awesome. I had a problem, and right away, she got to have it taken care of where I'm going to a specialist to see something. She did absolutely amazing. The only part, and it's not her fault, was trying to get an appointment in a certain amount of time. But I know everyone's busy, you know, but that was the only thing. But as far as Jessica, she's amazing. I'd recommend anybody to see Jessica. She's really good. And I appreciate you guys there. I'm going to go see a specialist with my deviated system, and hopefully it helps out with everything else. I appreciate you guys. Thank you. You guys did really well. Thank you. That's it.
June 16, 2025
I am working out of state and flew in to CA for my doctor's appt. I received a text first thing the morning of my appt stating their power was out and they had to cancel and reschedule. I called later on in the day and asked if they could squeeze me in and explained my situation of having to leave for the airport at a certain time and how I flew in for that appt and they were able to get me in so I could see someone. I was so grateful they were willing to go the extra mile for me.
June 12, 2025
J. Rivera: Patient focused, warmth, fast, efficient!
June 04, 2025
Jessica was excellent, listened, explained everything to me was professional and very pleasant. I would strongly recommend her to all. Attending nurse (name removed) was polite, professional and explained and asked needed questions. Very kind as well. All staff, including desk attendant made my appt pleasant and assuring.

I'm surprised that new patients can't be treated by Behavioral Health. Friends of Family HMO Dr. (name removed) psychiatrist
June 02, 2025
I went for a TB test and I did not get what I needed. It's a waste of money. This whole appointment visit was a waste of money.
May 28, 2025
Great job!
May 28, 2025
I always have a great experience at this office. It was my first time with this provider and she was excellent!
May 27, 2025
Thank you for listening to me.
May 27, 2025
Wouldn't want to visit Jessica again !!
May 23, 2025
Congratulations to the doctor. I was afraid to go to her because it was my first time, but the truth is, her excellent work has recommended the tests and studies that I need. Thank you very much. I hope everyone is like her. Good work.
May 23, 2025
Thanks Mrs. Rivera for your continuous care for my health, and explaining things to me at a level that I can understand the best approach to address my health. I appreciate your kind and diligent service!
