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.

Amazing!!!
Dr. Kuo was an amazing Dr. for me. He removed my benign tumor on my brain in Fresno, CA in 2018. I have moved to another state, and trying to get my records. I don't know if he would still have them? I'm in great health, and I'd just like my new health Dr. to have my records. Please let me know if I can get some help with that. Thank you, Cyndi Borden

He is amazing, very competent, available, caring, patient and explained the procedure and what to expect. He may have done too well, I felt so good, overdid it a bit. His CV is very impressive and he lived up to it well. Brain surgery is scary enough in itself, I had complete confidence of a positive outcome. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

I’ve never felt so reassured from a Dr. he will be performing pituitary gland surgery on my 19 year old daughter next week. He explained everything thoroughly more then I’ve ever experienced from a Dr. I feel so confident knowing my daughter will be in his hands .

Dr. Kuo was an amazing surgeon. I went in to the hospital for unrelenting back pain. After assessing my symptoms and imaging he thoroughly explain to my wife and I what surgery would be performed but also that no matter how many of these procedures he had performed, everyone is different and will be assessed for any changes once in the OR. I went in with unimaginable pain and after 1.5 hours I awoke to feeling better than I had in months. He and his team were truly amazing.

Dr. Kuo is truly a superhero. He did my craniectomy, he initially performed the surgery for a cyst, but turned out to be a vascular issue. He repaired my problem even though it wasn't what he anticipated he was still able to fix the problem. He checked on my family twice after my surgery, and on me multiple times the day of surgery and throughout stay. He is very caring and concerned about cutting your hair. It's reassuring during such a difficult time to have someone with so muchknowledge

This Dr operated on my spine because I had a benign tumor. I was referred to him by my oncologist prior to starting chemo for breast cancer. I was very pleased with this dr. My tumor was causing all kinds of problems for me that other doctors misdiagnosed. He is a hard dr to beat! Caring, professional, knowledgeable. He loves his patients and his job. He makes it very apparent.

Horrible, I'm sure he may be a talented doctor but the care my mom received was atrocious. She died while under his care and the UCSF neuro team. The last time we saw him was a couple days after the surgery, and he tells us her condition has nothing to do with his surgery. So basically, he came in to tell us it's not his fault! For days they were telling us that she checks out neurologically fine yet she died from malignant swelling in the brain. Does that sound fine to you? Get your lawyer doc!
