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.

The worst that I have ever met. Narcissistic syndrome. Told my sister that she could cure her. Who does she think she is, God? She only offered me the bottom of the barrel breast cancer care. I asked to be referred to a NCI rated center, which she said that she would do and NEVER did. I ended up self referring to Stanford.

Dr. Rocco came into her office to see my daughter even though she doesn’t normally have office hours at that time. My daughter has an autism spectrum disorder & has a lot of anxiety & sensory problems. Dr. Rocco was patient, spoke quietly & was gentle with her. I was extremely impressed with her.

Dr. Rocco and her office staff are a wonderful group of caring people. A breast cancer diagnosis is very scary. Everyone we talk to and see in this office make my husband and I feel listened to and cared about. We never feel hurried through any appointment. And I certainly appreciate a surgeon who hugs me.

I met Dr. Rocco after my biopsy showed I had early-stage cancer. She immediately put me at ease and explained the surgery. I had surgery and everything came back great. Dr. Rocco and her staff are excellent. I'm very thankful to all of them for making me feel good about the whole process!
