Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Initial visit
Dr Stanford was able to diagnosis and set up a treatment plan. With this information I look forward to a positive outcome.

Wonderful Doc and great bedside manner
Dr. Stanford takes the time to really assess the patient and explain the process and treatment. She has seen my daughter for multiple issues and we always leave feeling confident in her plan and that we understand exactly what is going on. She has a great way of speaking to patients, especially young ones. I highly recommend her.

Gel Shots for Arthritis of the Knees
Dr. Stanford was great in helping me secure gel shots for both of my knees. This was the third shot for one knee and the second for the other. The shots are given every six months, and so far it has been a wonderful experience. She is very patient, listens to my questions, and gives a thorough response.

Intelligent, Compassionate Doctor
Dr Stanford is the best. She reviews what I need to keep my knees able to do what I want with my life. As a 69 year old horse rider you may not thing a sports doctor is for you. Dr. Stanford is. She is intelligent and compassionate. Fully discusses options. The best!

Medical procedure / experience
Dr. Stanford is a fantastic physician who is also a very decent person. I cannot stand going to doctors because I’m just uncomfortable and she makes me feel comfortable when I’ve been there the few times that I have. She talks to you like she’s known you for years. If anyone out there is searching for a physician, and not sure where to go or who to trust I recommend her highly. In my experiences in the past a lot of times doctors can be very cold and disconnected but not in this case. She is fantastic.

Pleasant experience
The visit was to obtain a lift for the right shoe (one leg longer than the other,) after Xrays and a brief review of medical information the Dr came in, showed the patient the Xray pictures taken, explained how there was a combination of problems contributing to the loss of length in the one leg, offered a set of exercises to strengthen the core and finished with some foam inserts to place in the shoe to even out the patient's gate. then Dr was friendly, informed, and very professional. It was a very pleasant visit.
