Center Physicians
As faculty members of the prestigious Keck School of Medicine of USC, the physicians who practice at the USC Faculty Staff Health Center are expert in disease prevention as well as the diagnosis and management of the most complicated medical problems.
With a philosophy centered on taking the time to build a long-lasting patient-doctor relationship, USC internists believe that listening to and making decisions with a patient is vital to providing the highest quality of care.
As university physicians, they are not only board certified, but have access to highly skilled colleagues in a wide-variety of specialties. They are supported by a wealth of research and expertise, as well as the services of USC University Hospital, USC/Norris Cancer Hospital and Doheny Eye Institute.
USC physicians are up-to-date on the most current medical recommendations, techniques and research findings.
USC Employees’ Feedback on the USC Faculty Staff Health Center
“The shuttle ride was nice and comfortable, I didn’t have to drive downtown and it’s a gorgeous facility!” says Amy Drizhal, development assistant from the Thornton School of Music. Drizhal saw the doctor she knew from the University Park location. “Everyone was very friendly and helpful and there was no waiting,” she adds.
Darlene Piernas, a human resources director from the School of Dentistry, called her experience “absolutely fabulous!” “Everything is so central in the new location—it’s one-stop,” she says, referring to the services offered.
Florence Hayano, from the computer science division of student affairs, says she initially was apprehensive about going off-campus for care, but she has been to the new center twice. “I used to have Kaiser, so to get to an appointment I’d have to take a half-day off. Now I’m only gone two hours and with the tram service, within 20 minutes you’re there and you don’t feel rushed. There’s always a doctor there who I feel comfortable and confident with,” she says. Hayano also brought her husband. “They welcomed him with open arms,” she adds.
