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.

I saw Dr. Distad several times while I was in the hospital last week after a stroke. She was exceptionally intelligent, thorough and thoughtful in analyzing my complicated problem. She is a doctor with skills of a very high order, and I hope she can continue to treat me during my recovery. To me, it is very important to be able to trust your doctor; the expertise she demonstrated, and her taking the time to explain her reasoning instilled me with trust.

Excellent. I have been seeing Dr. Distad for 2 years for a condition that no physician in Spokane is able to treat. I either drive or teleconference with her for twice yearly visits. I find her extremely thorough and compassionate. She is up to date with her knowledge and beyond thorough. I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr,Distad for more than ten years for myasthenia gravis. She takes time to discuss my progress and genuinely cares about my health. She stays well informed on treatments. Also when I have needed her advice outside of office hours, she has responded quickly.

I would give her no stars if I could. She should not be practicing medicine. See my long review.
