So I told him what I had, the pain I had and told him it had been 3 years ago, they told me I had polyps and he said they did it and when I told him about the pain he told me so taking the medicine for constipation, that's what he told me and from there he didn't give me anything, nor did he tell me anything else. That stayed with me for about 10 or 5 minutes, maybe nothing more. I do not recommend it nor do I want to see it happen again with the (unreadable) it was and last time that is all.

February 05, 2024
To begin I want to tell you that at Doctor they are in a hurry and they don't want to listen to one's opinion when they like to be told what one has but they don't put much stress on you and I wanted to tell him could he order me some x-rays and told me that they were not necessary because he had information. I didn't like that because it appeared in a rush and they don't pay a lot of attention.
February 05, 2024
Clean facility, friendly and helpful nurses and staff, experienced phlebotomist and most of all, Dr. Jordan was very attentive and took the time to show that he actually cared about my well being.
February 02, 2024
Personally, I would like there to be more female doctors who speak Spanish so that we can understand each other and that there are doctors who take their time with each patient, thank you.
January 30, 2024
I would like for them to have appointments that are not so far out because we end up having to wait a long time.
January 29, 2024
Everything is perfectly fine, the services are all perfect, thank you.
January 23, 2024
Dr. Jordan was very, very complete in all his answers, no matter how many questions my family asked. Very understanding and very thorough. I like him a lot. Very good doctor. Very intelligent and very thorough.
January 12, 2024
Dr Jordan was great and so were all the staff I encountered.
January 09, 2024
One of the few physicians today that actually spends time and hears his patients and respects their intuitions about their health. I travel a distance just to see this doctor because my health and life means something to him!
December 28, 2023
The doctor was very kind and very attentive, and I would like to return. Thank you very much.
December 21, 2023
The clinical staff and physician were excellent and very helpful. Registration staff were pleasant. The facility is a bit run-down and the parking structure needs improvement.
December 19, 2023
Like always very professional, Dr. Jordan listens, explains, shows his concerns about your health and keeps a perspective of his patients well being. He is on track with my immunization and other test needed.
December 18, 2023
I just want to say thank you to all the people I spoke with, very professional and kind.

Everything was very good for me. They treated me well. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
December 07, 2023
Dr. Jordan recommended the dieticians at the PIH in Whittier. As of today I've lost 47 lbs. Dr. Jordan saved my life in 2016 and he's saving it yet again by helping me with my weight-loss program in recommending the dieticians. My hero!
December 01, 2023
(unreadable) everything was fine (unreadable), thank you. I hope the future continues well and that everything is fine.
November 16, 2023
I want to send out to you all medications that I'm taking at this present time. Also please asked Dr. Jordan I have Gad constantly. What do I take.? I forgot to asked on my appointment visit.
November 15, 2023
For me, everyone treated me well and I am happy with my doctor and thank you very much for your attention and I am happy with them.
November 13, 2023
I been seeing Dr (name removed) and for some reason she sent me to Dr Jordan since he is my primary care physician, He gave me that impression that he did not understand why she had sent me to him, and he said that she could off handle it. He did nothing for me his visit was a waste of my time and money
November 10, 2023
Was an excellent experience and I do recommend the dr and the clinic ?
November 09, 2023
Everything is very good, thank God from the General Administration and Dr Jordan, very pleased with this care yesterday I went to the doctor, thank you, and everything turned out very well, thank you.
November 06, 2023
He explained everything very well to me.
November 03, 2023
At first, I was upset that the schedulers wouldn't give me an appointment as soon after Nov 1st as possible. They didn't have any record of me changing my IPA, and wouldn't accept an email from Blue Shield verifying the change. But when I was finally in the system (around 10 days before Nov 1), they were able to make an appointment for me with my chosen PCP on Nov 3. That was a relief. I have multiple medical issues that need monitoring.
October 13, 2023
Best expensive I have had so far when visiting a provider. I waited less than 10 minutes to be seen, the lab was fast and easily accessible in the office. The dr listened to all my concerns. I would definitely recommend to all my family.
October 11, 2023
I like the treatment they give at the clinic. They treat patients well. I would recommend them.
October 10, 2023
Very understanding.
October 10, 2023
It's hard that they continue to do their jobs and help those that are in need. Thank you. Be blessed and highly favored.
October 09, 2023
Total Satisfaction Thank you
October 05, 2023
They treated me very well! And I didn't wait long. The doctor listened to me and answered all my questions.
October 03, 2023
Clean and neat office, friendly staff
October 02, 2023
They need women doctors.
September 25, 2023
Dr. Jordan, I've been with him for many many years and he is an awesome doctor, he understands and he's very polite and very professional and always gives good advice.
September 21, 2023
Felt very comfortable and the way he explained everything and talked to me made me feel more relaxed. Everyone was very nice to me and I was seen even earlier than my appointment.
September 13, 2023
Will highly recommend.
September 13, 2023

September 01, 2023
Hi. My name is (PHI removed). My experience was good in your facility. But the only thing that I don't like is the wait on a appointment, it takes a while and then if your referral from a doctor to a clinic, I don't know why is it that you need to wait a longer time to for the appointment to get seen when it's a referral.
September 01, 2023
That they do not change. They are very kind and I felt very comfortable.
August 24, 2023
Everything was perfect and fast
August 23, 2023
I made an appointment with PIH HEALTH on August 23,2023. I made the $40 copayment asked of me. Dr Richard Jordan saw me as a patient, but refused to help me. He claimed he could not administer any aid as he was not my primary health physician. He then sent me away to the front desk to make an appointment with primary physician instead. I am unhappy about how I was treated and am irate that I paid for service that was not given to me. I am demanding that my $40 copayment be reimbursed to me. I have Primary Insurance and Secondary Insurance for PIH plan. Dr. Jordan wrote in the report that he did a physical exam, but he didn't. He also mentioned a hospital I wasn't even admitted too. All he kept saying was that he couldn't help me and to go to the front desk and schedule an appointment with my primary doctor (name removed).
August 23, 2023
Good service ?
August 18, 2023
Was there for preop, and was scheduled in a timely manner , within 2 days
August 15, 2023
When I had my appointment for my yearly physical, the doctor showed up and I asked him if he spoke Spanish. He said no, but at no moment did he offer to bring someone to explain some things to me. He did it. I think he should have brought a person to translate the information for me that was most important so I could understand perfectly. I didn't like it, that he didn't bring anyone to explain it all to me at all. I don't think he is an adequate doctor to attend in an area where the majority of people speak Spanish. Many of them want someone to translate for them. That's all I want to comment.
August 14, 2023
Yes, they take good care of you.
August 11, 2023
I love the fact that it is with in walking distance of my house ..... And Dr.Jordan is a true professional!!
July 27, 2023
I am at this office every three months for follow up care and I am in and out in less than an hour.
July 14, 2023
Whenever I have to go with this group of professionals, I am well cared for and treated. That is why I recommend them 100%.
July 13, 2023
I felt that the Dr had other things in his mind. He even told me that it is really busy there. Not something you what to hear when seeing a New Dr!
July 10, 2023
Dr. Jordan is the best! :)
July 06, 2023
I liked the service.
July 03, 2023
Hi, good morning. For the last few months, I've had a bad experience, not with the office staff in front, just with the doctor and I believe her name is the head nurse, (names removed) just being, I don't want to say shady, but not being honest....saying they are going to call me back, call my pharmacist, provide me with the medication needed and then, next thing I know, I got to call them 2 or 3 times because the medication isn't there or it's not proper quantity; just very disappointing.
June 20, 2023
Dr. Jordan is the best
June 08, 2023

June 08, 2023

June 08, 2023
