Patient Reviews

Apparently this is a new office where the staff is still learning how to follow internal procedures and get along with each other. Because the X-rays taken at the Whittier urgent care were not what the doctors said he needed, we were forced to get additional X-rays and set up a second appointment. We live in Whittier several miles away through heavy traffic. He spent very little time with us.

Great service from all staff at this locations

I can't say enough things about this office. It was so easy to make an appointment and people at the front desk were kind and helpful. I saw Dr Gharib and he was very helpful. It was great getting paperwork for each thing I had to take care of like labs and tests. My entire experience was great. The next morning I came back to get lab work and x-rays done. It took a while waiting for my blood to be drawn but that is okay . The nurse did a great job. My x-ray was also wonderful. I hardly had to wait. (name removed) was my technician and she did a fantastic job and was very friendly. I can't say enough good things about my experience at this office.

Thank you so much for all your service.

Meeting with the provider was great, except this location has a very poor lab service. The entire process to draw labs was very unorganized and the phlebotomist was extremely rude to patients.
June 03, 2026
I was very happy with my appointment and I would recommend my doctor to anyone, friend or relative. They're very prompt and my questions were answered. I'm very happy with my primary physician.

About the doctor, what I'd like is for him to pay more attention to me. I know I don't speak English, but there was an interpreter, but all he said was, "You have this," and then he left. He didn't explain what was going to happen to me or anything like that, and he didn't let me ask him any questions. I mean, I'd like to change doctors. I really don't like that doctor.
June 01, 2026
The provider is one of the best i have had across many different health system experiences. Provider absolutely takes interest in my health and care. I no longer dread communicating with a provider. This provider absolutely makes my Healthcare experience a positive one.
May 28, 2026
The entire staff was very courteous and professional.

This office and this doctor and staff have been fantastic, very patient. I am representing my 92 and a half year old mother, primary caregiver, power of attorney, and I can speak on her behalf. She feels very comfortable because they are always patient and even though a little hard of hearing, they listen to her and they wait until she gets her question across. They give her the answers that she wants. They answer my questions. It has been a completely positive experience.

Satisfactory
March 26, 2026
I drove all the way to the Downey site from Covina for a physical and for the dermatologist and not to be seen by the dermatologist and only get half of my physical done, this should have said or explained over the phone because it was a waste of time and a day off because I have to go back again
March 24, 2026
Dr. Gharib always pays attention to my questions and answers correctly. He spends time listening and also answers all my concerns. I definitely recommend Dr. Gharib. Thank you.
March 20, 2026
I appreciate the precision of the patient care. I'm very pleased. Thank you.
March 17, 2026
I'm verypleased with my Doctor He is always very courteous and looks out for my well being suggesting medication changes when treatment arent working or testing me for anything that may be wrong. Excellent young doctor!!
March 11, 2026
The sports medicine doctor was really mean to me and I didn't like him. And he needs to be recommended. Thank you.
March 10, 2026
The doctor was very pleasant to work with. He was very attentive, friendly, and answered all my questions. An excellent doctor.
March 10, 2026
The doctor was very kind and listened to me very carefully; he is very professional.
March 10, 2026
I felt very comfortable with Sahir Gharib as my new assigned physician.
March 09, 2026
The nurse that checked me in seemed a bit unprofessional. She didn't manage to take my blood pressure manually and then just walked out of the room without telling me someone else would take over . I was greeted with a quick hello by another nurse that proceeded to take my blood pressure with the machine and she just walked away and didn't say whether the doctor was coming next or anything . Unfortunately a lot of the nurses in this location seem careless .
March 02, 2026
I was greeted by a phone receptionist (name removed) who was very kind and helped me get an appointment that same day. She understood my situation and the urgency for an appointment. I greatly appreciate her making things happen for me.
February 25, 2026
Everyone was great at the desk. I just felt the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. I had appointment for SportsCenter. And nobody checked to see if I had an x-ray first thank God they were open and I was able to go around the corner and get an x-Ray at the time of my appointment.
February 25, 2026
I just transferred to a new PIH clinic and I was so glad that I got the chance to make an appointment with Dr. Gharib. He took time to understand my symptoms, to explain some paperwork I provided to him from the Emergency Dept. and referred me to take additional tests. I felt confident I was in the right hands with Dr. Gharib.
February 17, 2026
Everything was great, thank you.
February 17, 2026
Definitely I would recommend dr Gharib to anyone with his knowledge and experience, go out of his way to help you and heal you.. Same goes for front desk staff very friendly and helpful.. They all go out of their way to help and make sure that they have the smile on their faces.
February 11, 2026
Promptness and very professional attention.
February 05, 2026
Very professional, although she doesn't speak Spanish she took her time to listen to the interpreter and everything went well.
February 04, 2026
Excellent service representative very professional
February 03, 2026
I was sent to the lab for lab work on the same day I had my appointment, which was scheduled at 11 o'clock. I had not had breakfast because I knew I was going to have lab work done. However, when I got to the lab, the lab had a note in the door saying they were close from 11 to 1. I would appreciate if they could keep, maybe, I know the day I did get the lab work because the following day, they had two lab people. Maybe they would consider having one lab person go to lunch while the other ones did it. So those of us that are there for specific lab work get seen in a timely manner because I cannot wait until 1 p.m. I hope they understand that I was on an empty stomach and I wasn't feeling well already so that it would be appreciated next time they do have changes schedule where they have one lab person on during the lunch hour and they alternate lunches so that can happen.

Front desk should be more friendly (approachable) and attentive.
January 30, 2026
He listened & hope it continues.

Overall was very pleased ??
January 07, 2026
Everyone at the clinic has been there several times and they've treated me very well. They're very responsible and I trust them. All the nurses are excellent, and I have nothing more to say. They seem to be very good professionals. Bye.
January 07, 2026
Very proactive care. I walked out with my next appointment already scheduled, and all of my concerns were addressed. The previous doctor's office I was assigned to dismissed my concerns and told me I was too young. It's nice to finally be taken seriously and not rushed out.
January 07, 2026
Dr. Gharib addressed all of my concerns, and provided solutions for all of my health issues. He prescribed new medications for me and ordered two x rays as well. I sincerely do appreciate everything that Dr. Gharib does for me.
January 06, 2026
Premises are clean & well lit. Friendly doctor & staff
January 02, 2026
I was very pleased with the service. I really appreciate that they don't keep you waiting when you arrive. It was my first visit, but I was very happy with the doctor and everyone, from the receptionist at the entrance to the nurse who attended to me. I congratulate them on this excellent service.

Receptionist was rude, nurse was in a hurry, xray tech didn't explain how to do things... doctor was great
December 29, 2025
Dr Gharib is very good Doctor he's knowledgeable well educated and takes care of his patients . He listened to patients and care for their needs.. Doctor Gharib and the staff are friendly helpful and supportive.

December 11, 2025
I just want to say the reception ladies did a great job and with the problem I had and I appreciate all the help.
December 10, 2025
Dr. Gharib has been the best M.D. I have ever been under the care of, he is a compassionate caring doctor. He truly cares about his patients and I feel very comfortable trusting him with my health. He is an asset to PIH! Very grateful to have found a great doctor.

He told me everything he was going to do. The experience was great. He is so amazing! I would trust him completely!
November 19, 2025
I have never felt this comfortable during a medical visit before. My doctor is incredibly supportive and attentive, and I truly appreciate the convenience of early appointments. They allow me to start my day feeling positive and cared for
November 07, 2025
An excellent doctor.
November 04, 2025
It was a pleasure experience dealing with Dr. Gharib. He's specialized in sports medicine. So basically, he usually looks at the patient's history for what is going on right now and he prescribes whatever best for the patient. So I really appreciate that. We always have nice dealing with the staff members, etc. So it's been a fantastic, amazing experience.
November 04, 2025
I just felt rushed, like I was in. I had a few other questions and I just didn't get a chance to even answer them. I mean, to even ask them. I felt a little rushed, like dude was nonchalant, you know?
October 28, 2025
This was the first time that I saw Dr. S-A-H-I-R, G-H-A-R-I-B. I didn't want to say his name and get it all messed up, but I thought he was very, very good. You know, for the last 25 years, I had Dr. (name removed) and he was good. So I'm thinking that I'm going to make this guy my permanent doctor. I really enjoyed the way he handled business and I think he's good. Appreciate it.
October 28, 2025
I'm very happy with this provider. They are always able to accommodate me with or without an appointment when I need to talk to my doctor. I will not switch locations or Doctors. Dr Sahir is very respectful and knows his job very well. He is aware of my medical history and stays on top with his staff if I forget sometimes to follow up. Thank you, Ms. (PHI removed)
October 24, 2025
Yes, the truth is I really liked that you had an interpreter, that definitely helps us a lot as Latinos since our main language is Spanish, and English in medical terms is very confusing but the truth is I am happy with the treatment and definitely the one who can translate what we want to say, always have interpreters who speak Spanish well so that they can help the Latino community in medical terms, thank you for the attention received and I hope you continue like this... Congratulations!!
October 21, 2025
Excellent customer service and care!
October 09, 2025
Overall experience was amazing!
October 02, 2025
There's nothing well that I could say upon my visit. You could improve with the doctors. You could improve with the doctor's medical assistant. Horrible, horrible, horrible service. Horrible customer service. Doctor made me feel bland, like he didn't care. I was like if I was a robot, very monotone. No care, horrible. Just plain horrible.
September 30, 2025
I would like them to give appointments sooner when they are requested, because they are given very late.
September 25, 2025
This was an introductory first visit. I'm deciding on a new primary physician. Dr. Gharib was professional and straightforward. For a first visit I'm unsure if he's a good fit for me.
September 12, 2025
Very much improved experience with PIH than in the past.
September 08, 2025
Not everything is very good, thank you.
August 15, 2025
I'm very pleased with Dr. Gharib he listens to me and tries to understand my concerns and explains things in a manner I can understand. Over all he shows he cares
August 15, 2025
Well I when in because I felt sick and as soon as I got diagnosed with Covid I was rushed out as if I had the plague. Normally the doctor would ask me if i needed a doctors note for my job as I went in on a Friday but nothing was asked just sent out to go pick up antibiotics. I guess to disinfect the area that was in. I felt a bit rushed no paper with my information was given.
August 06, 2025
Very good experience, very friendly.
