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.

He left me bleeding inside my leg. No apolgy
Dr. Stamos performed a full Knee Replacement on my right knee on Aril 20, 2023. He made two serious mistakes. During the knee replacement, Dr. Stamos inadvertently punctured the main (Popliteal) artery in my lower leg.. At home, my swelling kept getting larger. My leg and foot turned a deep purple. On the morning of Friday, April 28, 2023, I began to experience a sharp excruciating pain in the back of my lower leg. I had to sit down where I was, upstairs in my house. I was alone, without my phone, hoping my husband would come upstairs soon. My highly experienced Home nurse saw me upstairs and became so concerned that she ordered a special weekend nurse for me. She contacted Dr. Stamos, too. Dr. Stamos simply spoke about swelling. I was given an appointment to see Dr. Stamos the following Wednesday, 5 days later. I was left in excruciating pain, bleeding inside my leg., I believe that he never considered that he could have made an error. Please choose your doctor wisely.
