Dr. Ron Cookston with Gateway to Care approached the Pasadena community about the need that existed for indigent and underserved patients who were not receiving the quality treatment that they needed.
It became clear that a separate non-profit health care organization was needed to focus primarily on patient care and to integrate community-based services into a continuum of care to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for residents in the Pasadena community.Pasadena Health Center quickly became the clear answer to help bring quality health care services to meet the growing needs of the Pasadena community.

Currently I am recovering from COVID and have a little extra time on my hands, so I thought that I would share my experience of being a patient at PHC. I first went there when I had to quit my COBRA "benefits" which cost me $800/mo. I went there to head off a case of acute bronchitis. I am a Sepsis and Double MRSA Pneumonia survivor and bronchitis has to be dealt with early. Dr Ana Allison treated and cured me and in doing so, she gave me the same level, if not better, care as my previous primary care MDs. She is attentive, caring and experienced and I have continued to see her for another condition

Highly recommend the Health Center. The doctors are great, and the nurses are friendly. I am able to get my medicine at a much lower cost than anywhere else, and I am able to get my A1C test there as well. 5/5 service and bedside manner. 😀 I am very thankful they are available to me. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get care otherwise.

Me and my mom both go here and we both have Dr. Bernal. They are extremely friendly everytime we went and are willing to help those who are having financial issues. Dr. Bernal is a good doctor who actually cares about his patients and explains throughly what is going on. I would recommend these guys. Only reason this wasn’t perfect is I notice when I have appointments for example at 2:00 pm I’m still waiting until 2:45+. This is only an issue because I’m a college student and schedule my appointments around my class schedule and work schedule. Other than that, they’re great!

The receptionist that works with us in incredibly sweet and kind. She makes scheduling appointments very easy and I enjoy talking to her. We see the counselor Danny Edwards. He has been an absolute blessing. I have never had a good experience with counselling until now. Danny has been seeing my sons for a few months now. My 7 year old adores him and has felt much better during a hard time since we started visiting Danny. Danny plays with him so the visits are fun. Danny is patient, easy going, and relaxed. My son likes him so well he wants to stay longer. Danny gives great advice and he's very

I've been there twice and was taken care of.
I mean you get what you pay for. It's suppose to be there to help us and that's exactly what they did.. I didn't have health insurance and was able to pay a very low office visit. The medicine was low also since they have thier own pharmacy. I went in for a earache a s second time a pain in my shoulder.. if you're looking for adorable, friendly people, I recommend this clinic.

I am very grateful to find this clinic. I’m a new patient and filing paperwork was painless. Currently, I have no insurance and I was laid off. And they were able to help and see me. The front staff are so helpful! I’m very glad Dr. Bernal knows about hypothyroid, since that is the main reason I need to be seen. Great, funny Dr!

I don't know why all these people are fusing. I use Pasadena Health Center and I can get my medication right there. I don't have all these problems. Also the health center opens at 8:30 not 8:00 am. Dr. Allison is very nice doctor. She has helped me with my diabetes and I am doing much better thanks to her. I would go check this place out for yourself before you listen to the trolls.
