Customer Reviews

"The nursing staff are very attentive and caring. From the time I was admitted, they are always checking on me and reminding me on what to do. To all doctors who came to visit and checked me, and explaining on what to do next, and what are they've doing making me sure that I understand it. I also appreciate the housekeeping team, they are so respectful and kind. And thank you to my OB Doctor, Dra. Vianca Villarica for attending me to all my inquiries and needs on, before and after my surgery. I'm really grateful. Thank you Cardinal Santos Medical Center."
"I am incredibly grateful for the high standard of service provided. It is rare to find a healthcare institution that so perfectly balances cutting-edge clinical excellence with such a warm, human touch. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of medical attention. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, and administrative staff for your hard work and for making my path to health a positive and reassuring experience. This is truly a world-class team."
"The level of care does not match the billing system in place. There are talented doctors and nurses. And their reputations are on the line here. Took my sister to get an xray because she fell and it is taking 3 hours (and counting...) to get all of it done. What's happening @Cardinal Santos Medical Center?"
"We had a very positive experience from the ER all the way to room admission during our toddler’s stay. The doctors, nurses, and staff were all highly professional, attentive, and compassionate. As parents, it was a very stressful time—especially with our child experiencing a febrile seizure—but the team went above and beyond to reassure us and provide excellent care. We truly appreciated how smooth and well-coordinated everything was, from the ER assessment to the admission process. They took the time to check on our comfort level and made sure we felt confident and at ease before bringing our child home. Their kindness and clear communication made a big difference. Kudos as well to our pediatrician (Dra. Thea Cuaso Lim)—despite not being physically present, she made sure to properly endorse us to her colleague (Dra. Phoebe Lim-Picache), ensuring continuity of care. That extra effort meant a lot to us and gave us even more confidence that our child was in good hands. To all the nurses and clinical patient care assistants (weren't able to take note of all the names - Pat, Wyndee, Kesh etc.) from the time of our admission up to discharge, they were consistently kind, attentive, and responsive to our needs. Their dedication and compassion truly stood out and made our stay much more comfortable. The hospital environment was also very clean and well-maintained, which added to our overall peace of mind. We are sincerely grateful for the care and support we received. Highly recommended."
"INPATIENT FOR 8DAYS. Commendation for the 6th Floor staff (Rooms 642 and 619) of Cardinal Santos Medical Center for their excellent care and service. The nursing staff were consistently professional, attentive, well-presented, and caring. Their competence and dedication were evident throughout my stay. Special mention to Ronilo, Meann, Gina, Joya and Telle for their outstanding service, warm attitude, and cheerful presence. I also appreciate the housekeeping team, respiratory technician, and dietitian for their efficiency and reliability. My sincere gratitude as well to Dr. Jaime Co, Dr. Gopez, Dr. Cheng, Dr. Catalan, and the rest of the pulmonary team for their expertise and compassionate care. Thank you for making my hospital experience positive and reassuring."
