Internists - National City, CA

"The service kept getting progressively worse, this was my 7th visit at this facility, and in all 7 visits, I've been seen by 7 different medical personnel. A couple of times I was seen by a nurse practitioner apparently because the doctor wasn't there yet or running late, or just decided not to come. This last visit I was finally seen by Dr. Meka himself, and wow, it took over 1 hour to be seen by him (that's with an appointment), and only 5 minutes spent together in the room. It felt rushed, and I felt unheard. I told him I've been feeling like I've had this cold/flu I couldn't shake off for almost 2 months total. Instead of doing further troubleshooting/tests or at least ask more questions, he said "it's probably just your allergies, go get over-the-counter allergy meds" and then he signed me out. Even after I explained that I am already on allergy meds, namely Claritin and Flonase which I take on a daily basis. I ended up at a Rite Aid Minute Clinic and was diagnosed with a sinus infection, was prescribed some over the counter meds and got better within days."

"Dr. Tiangco is an excellent physician, he is caring and compassionate. He is straight forward and honest. When I changed my plan to Aetna, the first thing I did was look up his name and was really elated to find out that he is an Aetna provider. I made him my primary provider because I know Dr. Tiangco is my go to guy when it comes to my health and well being. BTW I am a Physical Therapist so I know a thing or 2 when it comes to physicians. "
