Two reasons I like this hospital:…read more One of the best dermatologists in Manila, Dr. Eileen Cubillan, holds clinics here, and two, our family has experienced good care in this hospital, many thanks also to Dr. Carlo Canosa, a surgeon and family friend. My use of the word "like" to describe a hospital is remarkable in itself, because generally I cannot say that I like hospitals. I mean, who does? But, I had my first-hand experience being confined here last year when I came down with dengue. I got myself a double room. It's cheaper because it's meant for sharing, but it's roomier than a single room, and I requested that they put me in one that's unoccupied, so it still feels like I have the room all to myself. Unfortunately, I got myself a roommate the day after because there was an inexplicable surge in dengue cases that day. Good thing my roomie found a room the following day, because a day later, my brother would join me. I needed transfusion, and in this hospital, if you can provide enough qualified donors, you won't be charged for the blood anymore, whereas other hospitals would charge you for the sourcing of the donors plus the processing of the blood (extraction of the platelet). Also, the food is not bad. In fact, the food is quite edible. They even give you your own personal utensils. I found out that MCM recently transferred ownership and was undergoing renovations, which explained the nicer facade and new wing. It's a given that hospitals are unpleasant places, but MCM is definitely one of my choices for good medical care for its patients.

It is a large medical facility. There were a bunch of people streaming in and out. I walked right up to information and the lady there assisted me in finding a pediatrician for walk ins. Less than 30 mins later I was having a consult with the doctor. We paid the doctor directly after the visit and left with a prescription and peace of mind. If only it were that easy back home. The facility itself needs an overhaul. Very dated interior. I shudder to think about their surgical facilities and such.

When I asked her the cause or reason of this she answered "Hindi ko alam" I mean she doesn't have any idea or she couldn't give any reason what might be the cause, maybe the food, environment, etc. She will not give you any knowledge or advice if u don't ask for it. I'm very disappointed and will never go back to her because of that experience. Very unpro to think she's a doctor.

When you think about PGH, what comes to mind is the crowded rooms and queues because it's one of…read morethe biggest public hospitals in the metro equipped with the most competent doctors. If you wanna take advantage of the latter but hate the hassle of having to line up for a long time just to get a quick consultation, PGH now has a new facility that will cater to your needs. Their new medical arts building is equipped with everything new but with same level of competence. You only have to pay a wee bit higher than what they offer on the main building but a wee but lower than what you'd pay at a private clinic. I would often visit the food court on the second floor because it has some of the known fast food chains and because I would always go for the tofu sisig. It also saves me the hassle of walking to grab a grub at Robinsons Ermita which is farther.

Secondly, the worst department is the radiology, in our experience, one of the radtech was very arrogant and very inconsiderate to my mom who suffered from Alzheimer's very contradictory to their tag line, "Where excellence isn't just our goal- it's the standard, IT was way below standard, and their motto? "we love life" - I don't think so, it is all about the money.

She stepped up and went Dr. Taray mode just to see what they're made of. She's a bit evil that way. She did mention they had a medical mission with the staff from the hospital so I think that's very good of them. They also handled a blood drive for Southville. It's not a big hospital like Perpetual but they're accommodating, most especially if you're from Las Piñas and you had a green card, which entitles you to certain benefits courtesy of Manny Villar.

My nephew was rushed to the hospital due to abdominal pain, he was in the ER 5:30 AM. They did…read moreblood test, after they want to do an ultra sound for the abdomen after they requested for another ultra sound for the appendix . So why do they need to to do separately? Worst case Before my nephew was admitted they told him right away if its appendicitis you might spend 10k estimate to do the procedure. Why would you say that instead of treating the patient in PAIN. They are really after the money . Second my nephew and sister waited until 2:30 PM that is 9 hours wait. They gave my sister the bill since they have been waiting for 9 hours and she just decided to pay but still no doctor to see my nephew. Third - so my sister decided to go to the desk and show them that she already paid the bill. There was a lady sitting so my sister handed the receipt to her and the lady said don't give it to me bring it to the nurse, her voice was very sarcastic. That lady was rude the way she talked. My sister said the doctor haven't seen my nephew . Fourth scenario she went to the nurse and said we have been waiting for 9 hours and you keep on saying the doctor will be there to checked on the patient. Fifth scenario my sister found out that the lady sitting was the doctor so she went back to the lady and said you haven't seen my nephew. And you know what she said to my sister. PAPUNTAHIN MO DITO YONG PASENTE . what kind of doctor is she and she was RUDE all along, So my sister got mad and said you are the doctor you should be the one to go and see my nephew. Besides we already have paid the hospital bill. That doctors name is MICHELLE ALEXIS LIM. This doctor doesn't have the passion to take care of patients, SHE SHOULD NOT BE A DOCTOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. I won't ever go and see that DOCTOR AGAIN. REMEMBER THE NAME MICHELLE ALEXIS LIM. Lousy customer service.

Not that I was a very sickly child, but I basically grew up in this hospital. My doctor is a resident in PCMC, and she's one of the most dedicated doctors I had ever met, having been very helpful, sincerely concerned, and did not raise up my fees for more than ten years. Her fees are reasonable and you can see that she's more concerned for your well-being than getting paid. True enough, there are a lot of doctors like her in PCMC, since I also consulted with some other doctors, and my sister did as well. Even if they're not the best in facilities due to some cut-off budget of the government, they try their best to make up for it through their specialties. Also, this hospital endured being demolished through a strong sense of dedication in serving children's needs. They are also off to some renovations for some additional and improved facilities.

For Intellicare users in the Manila area like myself, this one-stop shop is Aventus at Taft-U.N. With a guard who dutifully gives out numbers and provides instructions on where to go next, and around 2-4 front desk personnel just handling patient queuing, handing out forms, and verifying credentials, going to this particular branch is a breeze. Another 2-4 nurses handle weigh-ins, height measurements, blood pressure monitoring, eye exams, and assigning patients to specific doctors based on their needs. With this adequate number of personnel, patient traffic is always handled efficiently even on busy days. They have various doctors on standby specializing in different fields so patients need not be referred to other hospitals, except for some procedures like CT scans and ultrasounds. They also have their own blood/urine/stool testing laboratory, as well as an X-ray room.
