- Vitals review of Dr. Howard K. Elkin"I felt she was rather demeaning and had little concern for my issues. She was most comfortable simply checking off the basics... But didn’t seem to use reason and knowledge to solve my health problems."
- Healthgrades review of Dr. Mary Wahbah"The only thing that I think PIH needs to work on as a whole is making sure that they don't take on too many patients so they do have availability... it's nearly impossible to get a schedule with your PCP."
