Last year, I headed to The Medical City (my go-to hospital for emergency hospital visits and…read moreroutine check-ups) as I was suffering through a horrible cough. I asked at reception about which doctor was available at the moment as I didn't want to queue for hours on end. Thankfully, Dr. Agno was available to accommodate me. I was comfortable from the moment I entered her office. Dr. Agno is very respectful, polite, kind and knowledgeable. Based on my account, she immediately knew that iIwas suffering from an allergy from the pollutants/elements that were in the air due to New Year's celebrations and my extensive exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke (I'm allergic). She handed me a prescription and I was as good as new in a little under a week. Thank you, Dr. Agno! I hope never to see you again but I would happily refer you to anybody who needs your service.

Part of the struggle of being a diabetic is finding a doctor that you can trust. Here in Manila,…read moreone of the challenges of finding good Endocrinologists and Diabetologists is finding one who doesn't exclusively hold clinic in some far-flung, commute-inaccessible places, or doesn't exclusively hold clinic during workdays. Imagine my surprise when I found a doctor who is not only capable and competent, but also accessible. Dr. Eveleyn Paraan, at first, became my doctor simply because she has hours in STI Megaclinic, and said hours also fall on a Saturday. I happily went, not really expecting anything other than a sober and clinical handling of my condition, at most maybe a boot camp-styled doctor, making me do calisthenics and sing in cadence while jogging. What I got was a doctor who was all that, except she's more of the "warm bedside manner" doctor than the boot camp-y one. Oh, make no mistake, Dr. Paraan is all no-nonsense Endocrinologist, an obvious master in her field, but she also excitedly asks if you've been maintaining your diet and exercise, and actually visibly deflates when you say you fell off the wagon. Dr. Paraan is less cold doctor, more a confidant and a companion in your journey in diabeetus.

Efficient, courteous, on time, easy access. As a visiting lab testing service I was very happy.read more

I had just arrived from a winter trip to New York and LA but it was just my luck that I had caught a bug somewhere along the way and was in need of serious medication. Dr. Tamondong diagnosed me with acute trachea-bronchitis and he put me on antibiotics to fight off the bacteria in my body. He was entertaining and made me feel at ease the entire time I was there. Best of all, my bronchitis was gone in a few days. I'm so grateful for doctors.

During the prep, I…read moretold the technician that I had a biopsy the previous year and trying to give her the result to read but she just ignored me. She asked me how many kids I breasfed ; what was my work in the US, etc which was unrelated to mammogram. After the procedure she handed me the xray film without the results. It took them 4 months to email me the results after I complained to the ob gyne how this technician did the procedure. No apology!

After a week I lost my taste & smell. I went back to this Clinic Again & went through the same routine as I did a week ago. After waiting for an hour with INCOMPETENT and SLOW moving personnel I was finally given a Covid test. I was informed the next day that I was positiv. I was prescribed with Molnupiravi. This medication was nowhere to be found in any drug store. It was only this Potenciano Medical Centre who had them. I PAID 6x more than the drug store price. This Medical Clinic did not provide me with a Senior Discount. I am 74 years old. I wish to place a Complaint to the National Court Commission of Senior Citizens. This Medical Center is not a place to get well! Money talks!.

I'm not sure if anyone else had a bad experience with Jan Medical Group's team and services. I was…read moreunder the care of the Licensed Nutritionist, not the doctor himself. She was very inattentive, insulting, and honestly made the whole thing feel like a scam. She took my payment but wouldn't answer my follow-up questions about my order, failing to answer both email and messages until I messaged someone else on the team. After payment and consultation, the doctor decided to put me on a lower dose of medication, so I was entitled to a 750 peso refund. However, I asked if it could be rolled over to my next dose through a discount code. When the second month rolled around, I was told they no longer had the medication and it was impossible to order. Logically, I asked for my refund back and was denied by Licensed Nutritionist. When I said that this was a scam, she scolded me. Only for her to look into it further and see that I was right. She eventually said she would give the refund, but I haven't received it (yet?) and feel no reassurance that I will. I wouldn't do business with them again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I wish I had read a review like this before I invested in the flop program. Don't bother stressing yourself out with this team.

Because of her, I am protected from the dangers of cervical cancer. She is a hilarious woman; one could never tell that she specializes in oncology given her carefree and humorous nature.

I've first heard about her…read morewhen I was still in my country (Brazil) doing some research about doctors in the Philippines. After all, I would deliver my baby far from my family in a foreign land and I needed to find someone reliable to assist me. I've Googled some obvious key words like "good ob-gyne manila" and I've found a blog by a Brazilian woman who had lived in Manila some years ago. Thanks to the internet, people can share their experiences (hey, Yelp!). This woman was saying lots of great things about Dr. Henson, so I wrote down her name in my Moleskine. The plan was setting an appointment as soon as I arrived in Manila. That's what I did. I was 5 months pregnant, if I'm not mistaken. The first impression of her was very positive. She's very cool. And fashionable. She wears unique clothes. Actually, the first thing I've noticed when I entered the room were her signature glasses - thick, round and black, just like Harry Potter! By her clinic, you can also tell she's a design fan. She has miniatures of designed chairs as part of the decor. Ok, you may be wondering: "what doest it matter if a doctor is fashionable or not? I want to know if she's skilled!". I tell you: yes, she is VERY skilled. But she's also VERY talkative, so you have to make sure you talk too. I mean, make sure to find ways to make all your questions. I had a great experience with her, but I know some people just get stressed because they feel she's not listening to them. It's up to you. I've never had this feeling, though. She did a great job during my labor and delivery and my baby was born healthy and strong :) Another thing I like about Dr. Henson is that she always text you back when you send her some message. Being text friendly is something I really appreciate in a doctor. She replies really fast, what is great for anxious people like me. I usually go to St. Luke's, but she also has a clinic at Makati Med. Time Day at St. Luke's Hospital: M-Th 2-5 PM; F 9-12 NN Office number/Location 789-7700 L7125
