"They process quite efficiently and all the staff (from the doctors to the guards) are polite and professional. I also like the fact that they don't charge much for a med cert or fit to work, and they cater both to hmo card holders and cash payors. Although they usually have a cutoff at 5 pm and if you need a specialist, you need to know their schedule and set an appointment which is why I only rated them 4 stars."

"I would like to commend the clinical staff for their politeness and professionalism while assisting patients. Their respectful and accommodating attitude made the process smoother and more comfortable. I would also like to recognize the guard for giving fast and clear directions, which helped guide patients easily from the consultation area to the laboratory. In addition, I would like to commend Dr. Albert for being very pleasant and approachable with patients. His kind manner and dedication truly make him one of the best doctors, and his care leaves a very positive impression on those he attends to. BEST MEDICAL CITY CLINIC ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"I went to have a check-up if I had PCOS. The doctor, Anita, was her name, I think, was already late and only interviewed me for about less than 5 minutes. She was so fast, like super nagmamadali. I waited for her for 1 and a half hours only to get asked if I had a regular period, then that's it. Couldn't even bother to check for something or ask me why I feel I have PCOS. Worst experience ever. Instant 800 pesos for a consultation I can easily google."

"Though it closes at 8 pm, most services are unavailable way earlier than that"

"Staff was very friendly, nurses were accomodating, and I was immediately assisted for consultation. Additionally, si Dra. Mya, Family Med specialist, was one of the best doctors I have ever met. A far cry to many of the other doctors in other expensive private clinics in the area. Will recommend 10/10 although Tuesdays lang siya available."
