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.

Professional, prompt, not rushed
I have found the doctor to be very engaged with me and paid careful attention to detail. My appointment time was actually early...amazing! My wife also sees Dr. Worssner and we both have found her to be an outstanding doctor.

Absolutely wonderful physician!
I was truly impressed by Dr. Woessner! As a physician, I have been disappointed lately by the cursory histories and physicals that I know are more or less mandated by Administrator’s of Managed Care who have reduced face to face time with patients to increase “productivity.” This can lead to misdiagnoses and increased costs that non-medically trained administrators are oblivious to. Dr. Woessner took a detailed history and an appropriately focused exam and nailed my diagnosis, one which had eluded two dermatologists who performed a less detailed dermatolologic exam than I was trained to conduct in Pediatric Neurology, even though both of my parents had histories of skin cancer. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Woessner as an excellent Internist and allergist. Kudos to Scripps on retaining her! Do what ever is necessary to keep her at Scripps, please!!!

Dr. Woessner is nice and easy to talk to. But her office will tell you they got pre-approval or pre-determination for a treatment but won't actually get it from the health insurance company and you'll pay out of pocket. Cost me thousands. Very dissapointed.

I have been very impressed with the level of care Dr. Woessner has provided me the last several months. She spends a lot of time asking questions and listening. She explains action steps very clearly and always providing a copy of the instructions in writing. What sets her apart from other Doctors I’ve worked with is her interest and attention to me as an individual. As a singer, inhalers have been problematic for me and when possible, she finds an alternate solution explaining why it is better.

Dr Woessner has treated my son and me for over 13 years. She has also treated my daugther of and on. Both my son and I have seen reduction in allergies and don't need regular medications any longer. She is compassionate, very knowledgable, takes time to explain, professional, on time and has a heart of gold. Over the years we could travel with my son's condition without concern as she gave us good guidence on medications to carry in case of need. Great staff.
