Get seen fast and they take care of you fast. Such a nice office staff
February 24, 2026
Everyone was great here
February 24, 2026
My experience with Nicole Thornton was wonderful. She listened to my questions and was concerned and had the answers to my medical needs. The assistance aid was good at listening and made me feel comfortable.
February 20, 2026
Yeah, my appointment was very good. It was very informative and they are very, the staff there are all very knowledgeable and I even learned something new about something that I've been doing all my life. So that's good. So anyways, I had a really positive experience with this PIH office and also the provider. Thank you.
February 20, 2026
For the very first time I have never felt listened to and treated with respect and kindness.
February 11, 2026
This provider spends a lot of time with you, listens, takes care of what she says she's going to do, and the staff is wonderful. It's a good experience, and I would recommend to my family or friends.

February 03, 2026
Nicole is always caring and willing to go the extra mile to find answers / The Bloomfield office is my very favorite office and has the very best in professionals. Knowledgeable and caring in all areas. from office visits to urgent care , lab/ X ray and so much more.

The whole staff there was courteous and pleasant
January 29, 2026
She listened to my concerns and explained what was happening with me also how long my cough may last I appreciated that.
January 28, 2026
I was very satisfied on my visit with NP Nicole Thorton, January 28th. She took the time to listen to all my medical concerns and throughly examined me. She also advised me as to what medication to continue taking and to monitor any changes. She made sure I didn't have any unanswered questions before I left. When I left I felt at ease knowing I would be feeling much better soon. She's a great NP and I will definitely be asking for her again. Thanks Nicole.

VERY PLEASED

I've always had a good experience with Nicole Thornton she is always pleasant and listens to what questions or concerns that I may have.
January 19, 2026
Everything went well, this was my first time with Dr Thornton
January 14, 2026
I had a great experience. My first time going to that office, but I live about five minutes away. I will always see if I was a little hesitant. Before I did not have a good experience with PIH, before, but not in that office. I found the office easy to navigate. Everybody had a big smile, very friendly. I had a great experience. I got my appointment, my lab done the next day, and just I was just very impressed with the friendliness of all the staff.
January 13, 2026
NP was very courteous and professional. I'm not going to see a dr until July. PIH should have more dr available to see patients particularly patients with chronic illness and high risk.
January 07, 2026
Yes, I scheduled actually for a pre-op and through the fax number, I had an appointment figured for that. When I got there, they knew nothing about it. But after I talked with them and whatever, I was very satisfied. But there is a confusion about the fax and whatever, taking messages.
January 06, 2026
My experience was not good with Nicole this time. I went in for an issue with my ear and she suggested or recommended that I see a dermatologist. That was the initial reason why I went to see her. And I left without the dermatologist referral that she had mentioned that she was going to give me. I called right away as soon as I left the office and realized I didn't have my referral. It took her until today to give me the referral after me calling every single day and asking for the referral. So I will probably not be seeing Nicole again and I will probably change my doctor's office. Thank you.

I had a great appointment with my provider, Nicole Thornton, NP. She was very kind, took the time to really listen to my concerns, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed and truly felt heard. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I love coming to PIH and would highly recommend Nicole Thornton, NP, and this office to my friends and family.
December 29, 2025
Thank you for making the transition from Kaiser to Blue Shield seamlessly. I look forward to putting my health into your hands.
December 22, 2025
Hello, the front office is very efficient and polite and Nicole Thornton, I cannot speak more highly of her, very professional and in tune with her patients and I really, really enjoy being one of those patients. Thank you.
December 18, 2025
I ended up with "Nicole" not by choice. She was the only one available at this time after Dr (name removed), my (PCP), office canceled my appointment for this month, DEC 2025, and the next available appointment was not until "JUNE 2025". This issue needs to have a permanent "SOLUTION", when the PCP for some reason cancels the appointment. patients should not be left fending for themselves, by calling and finding who is willing to take them, (myself & my wife.
December 05, 2025
They were on time very nice thank you Merry Christmas to all PIH
December 03, 2025
Excellent care and great service. The entire staff did an amazing job.
November 26, 2025
Nicole Thornton was very patient, kind, and very thoughtful, and I felt like she truly cared about my health. I appreciated that. One thing that I was concerned about is that they could not find my FMLA paperwork right away, but they were able to track it down after a few minutes and get it to me. They said that I would need Well, after I was seen, that it was going to take five to seven days, and I'm glad to report that they called me yesterday, that it was ready. So I couldn't pick it up yesterday, but I will pick it up first thing, Monday. Thank you so much.

Nothing to complain about. I always have good service with PIH..
November 03, 2025
Nicole Thornton is always kind, courteous and caring. I love the balanced feeling of professionalism and the human aspect. I recently accompanied my son to his appt with his doctor and instantly felt like we were just a number being rushed. I even recommended he come to see Nicole. I am blessed to be one of her patients. Thank you, Nicole.
October 28, 2025

October 27, 2025
Nicole Thornton is an absolutely amazing doctor and she always takes the time to speak to you and hear your thoughts and I am very lucky to know her and to go to her to get seen.
October 20, 2025
Yes, I came to my appointment and I met Nicole Thornton. She was very, very nice and very capable. Sometimes I have to wait a little bit longer than I like to, but that's understandable. But I've always enjoyed and feel very comfortable going to PIH Hospital. I thank all the staff for being so kind and generous and very understanding and I would definitely recommend it. Thank you so much.
September 30, 2025
Nicole Thornton is great. I have seen her a few times now and she is always very thorough with her diagnostics and really listens to my complaints. I have no desire to see anyone else anymore. I hope she stays with PIH for a very long time!

July 22, 2025
Love Nicole Thorton. I've been going to her already for three years. I feel like she truly understands me. She hears me out. If I have any questions or anything that I need, she will validate what I'm saying and try to figure out giving me the best resources. I love her.

It seemed I was given unrealistic instructions on weight loss which left me feeling defeated and overwhelmed.
July 22, 2025
The whole process was very efficient.
July 21, 2025
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Thornton and the entire staff. From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming, professional, and attentive. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. The staff is friendly, efficient, and truly cares about their patients.

Nicole Thornton was great she listened to what I had to say about my issue. I recommend her if you want someone to listen to what you have to say and gives you an answer. Thank you Nicole!!
July 07, 2025
I liked her. She was very thorough & listened very closely to my questions & concerns/
June 25, 2025
Nicole seem to know about my issue Ang new how to handle it. Thank you Looking forward to seeing the results.
June 16, 2025
I left feeling not heard or really cared about. I feel like the provider just wanted to refer me to other specialties instead of trying to address any in office. Not everyone has medi-cal or insurance that pays 100 percent of the costs. Medical care can be very expensive and just to be dismissed and told to go to other places knowing that I am going to get a bill for a few hundred dollars for nothing done is very disheartening. I called in for a physical which is part of my insurance plan and instead got a meet and greet type of appointment with a provider who just wanted to refer me out of her office. I will try to stick with PIH to try and get the PCP I really want but with a 6-month waiting list that just seems unrealistic.
June 04, 2025
Yes, I believe the receptionist and the LVN who helps me when I first got admitted was great. The nurse practitioner, Nicole Thornton, left a lot to be desired. There was no follow-up with my chest x-ray and what my results were and the new medication that was being prescribed. And I had to keep calling to confirm a follow-up and when it was needed to be done.
June 02, 2025
Nicole Thornton is great. She is super knowledgeable and explained in simple terms. Great attitude and person.
May 28, 2025

So thank you, Nicole. You're awesome. And I'll see you again. Hopefully not soon because I don't want to be, you know, not feeling well, but you know what I mean. Thank you so much. Bye.
