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.

Amazing surgeon
Dr. Woodson removed my acoustic neuroma a year ago. It was a difficult 10 hour surgery and she was able to remove all of the tumor. I had some delayed facial weakness, but luckily that resolved. She is a very skilled surgeon and I would highly recommend her.

Thank you!
Dr. Woodson is very thorough and explained to me my condition - diagnosis to a T. As well, she took care of me and comforted me before my mastoidectomy surgery. She is very professional and is terrific at what she does. Thank you.

Happy with treatment
I've seen Dr Woodson for my Meniere's Disease many times over the years. She is very thorough and goes though all my results every time I've seen her.

Meh
I saw Dr. Woodson due to balance issues. Her exam was thorough but she could use more kindness and compassion. People that come to her for help are struggling greatly and it is very hard to be with disequilibrium and vertigo.

Although she did diagnose my condition her complete lack of compassion and follow-up was unacceptable. I messaged her a few times via the Cleveland Clinic MyChart website about surgery to fix my condition but I did not receive any replies. I got the impression that she was unable to grasp the severity of my symptoms.

Came back for follow up and she seemed annoyed I was there. Same problem I had originally and she gave me no solution except magnesium. Basically “ there’s nothing wrong with you” attitude. Let her live in my off balanced body for a while I bet her attitude would be different. Thanks for no compassion and no help. I left crying and hopeless.

Dr. Woodson is amazing. She treated me for hearing loss and was so thoughtful about the approach and in looking to understand the complicated cause in my case. So many doctors wanted to write me off because they did not understand what was going on or did not have the knowledge, and Dr. Woodson was the only one smart enough (and interested enough) to work through it with me. You can tell she genuinely cares for what she does and those she treats. I am forever grateful for her.
