Testimonial
What Patients Think
I would like to highly commend all the staff, doctors, and nurses at Perpetual Help. Everyone is incredibly kind, attentive and very approachable. You can truly feel that you are in excellent hands.
A big thumbs up to the entire medical team with special appreciation for Sir Melvin and Oliver for being exceptional, attentive, and helpful. Keep up the amazing work!
The doctors, all I can say, have been very good in handling my situation. They were consistent in monitoring and were responsive to feedback or unusual occurrences during the first three days of confinement.
Dra. Panopio and Dra. Que were both attentive to details and feedback. Dr. Edzel Tamayo was very detailed in his evaluation and assessment and pleasant to talk with.
As a first-time mom, NSD with epidural, I would recommend the staff and doctors in the labor room who were very empathetic and accommodating during my entire 18-hour stay in the ER up to my delivery.
They were the reason I was able to have a smooth normal delivery. Forever grateful! ❤️
All of my attending doctors were kind and helpful. I would like to highly commend Lloyd (Fifth Floor Station 3 nurse) for being such a hospitable person, as if we knew each other for a long time.
He is soft-spoken, professional, and attentive. I highly recommend him for Employee of the Month for his outstanding personality.
