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.

Extremely NEGATIVE! My son who was 30 years old at the time clearly had and Still has a serious pulmonary problem. My son started with his doctor who sent him to a pulminary specialist. No answers yet. We have always heard wonderful success stories in connection with Stanford. My son made an appointment with their pulminary specialist Dr. Stephen Ruoss. After Dr. Ruoss reviewed the numerous tests performed by prior physicians, Dr. Stephen Ruoss's diagnosis was it is ALL IN MY SON'S HEAD! I believe Dr. Ruoss is a disgrace to his profession!
