In patients' words
"Billed $2500 for routine annual physical!! I strongly recommend finding an alternative to Stanford healthcare. ... I've done this every year and its fully covered by insurance. ... it was still billed as a diagnostic appointment."
— Birdeye user review"They take notes and check their laptops constantly instead of listening to the patient. Not a moment of eye contact or a smallest sign of caring."
— LocalityBiz user review"I love Dr Kenny. She is AMAZING!! She actually is beyond kind and will sit and chat with you for quite a long time. You never feel rushed."
