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.

Incredible skills
I was treated at Stanford originally but changed to Kaiser insurance so I asked my Stanford docs who to go to, and both of them said Dr. Chow. I went with it and couldn't be happier with my ACL surgery.

In the past 10 years I have had many surgeries because of my messed up shoulders. He has been the best surgeon I have had by far!

I’m a college soccer player. I tore my ACL and Dr. Chow did my surgery after a former teammate recommended him. Returned to playing better than ever. Thank you so much!

He has operated on me and several of my friends and we all had perfect results. He is no nonsense. Most online reviewers never had surgery with him and whine about stuff that makes no difference. The only thing that matters is the outcome of surgery and hits it perfectly each time. The only negative is that there is such a long wait to see him because he is in demand.

He doesn't do his homework. Was very unfamiliar with my chart. Gave conflicting levels of diagnosis and said it didn't matter when asked to clarify. Should have gotten a second opinion.
