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.

A physician who looks at the whole picture, listens to the patient's perspective of issues and works together with the patient to achieve the best possible care. I have had the honour of being Dr.Adey's patient since my transplant. From the start and even since her being the head of transplant nephrology at UCSF -She has remained the same warm, attentive specialist who has addressed each concern of mine without prejudice, never rushed me and selflessly guided me in getting flawless medical care.
