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 would highly recommend Dr Stoehr.
Dr Stoehr was a very caring and thorough doctor. I felt he gave me the best care possible and explained everything that was going to happen.

Breast Surgery
My first visit with Dr. Stoehr was to meet him and schedule with him to do my breast surgery. My introductory visit with him provided me with confidence in him that he was a surgeon that was highly experience in breast surgery for newly diagnosed cancer patients. When you get the news that you have breast cancer and need surgery, you don't know who to chose. You will not be disappointed in the care and treatment that he will provide for you.

Dr. Stoehr and office personnel
Dr. Stoehr is one of the most professional and kind Dr that I have ever seen. He explained exactly what he would be doing during the surgery, and then, as I was under a local anesthesia, he told me what he was doing as he performed the surgery. I only had a minor basal cell removed from my right neck area by my ear. Also, his office nurse, Maria, deserves to be complimented as she is friendly, kind and always professional as she takes your vitals. I would recommend Dr. Stoehr to anyone in need of his services.

I had breast cancer and out-patient surgery (lumpectomy) that was performed by Dr. Stoehr. I was impressed by his thoroughness in getting as much information as possible about my cancer in order to make an informed plan of action. The decisions he made for my surgical procedure and for my after-surgery recovery made my recovery better than I could have ever expected. Even though he prescribed no prescription pain meds, I had almost no pain during recovery. The worst pain would have been a 1 on a scale of 1-10. If I ever need surgery again, I will certainly ask for Dr. Stoehr.
