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 was sick for quite some time, non of other doctors could tell what is wrong with me. They all rely on the blood tests. Dr. Stosel diagnosed me with Hashimoto based on my symptoms and medical history. She prescribed hormones and ... What a miracle! I am cured!!! I feed like myself again! My legs are moving, I don't have a shortness if breath anymore! Almost no brain fog! I can accomplish tasks! Thank you, Dr. Stosel!!!

Dr. Stosel is not only brilliant with a mind like a steel trap but she is also so caring and compassionate! But here's another reason we drive 20 miles to see her--the office staff is just an caring, professional and warm. Sometimes it's not easy to get through on the phones but they always quickly address any issues when I leave a message. I always am made to feel I'm the only one they are concerned about!

I have been Dr. Stosel's patient since approximately 1998. She is unfailingly compassionate and kind. She listens attentively, takes copious notes, and asks pertinent questions. Dr. Stosel has been an outstanding medical provider and I would recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation.
