I am new to stanford and its my worst decision I have ever made. For a regular blood work they charge me 3000 and a online chate with doctor cost me 400 and a tdap vaccine charge me 800. Even with insurance i need to pay for a 1800 are you kidding me. How could a routine check up cost that much. They are just a big scam. I will ask everyone to stay away from this crazy company.

I was planning to come here, but so many negative reviews. Never mind. I will be sticking with the Va for free.

I have been going here for years and rotated a few different doctors, always great experience. Anna Lederman is exceptional and by far the best doctor I have worked with. Highly recommend.

This is regarding Stanford clinics in Redwood, Palo Alto, and Los Altos. Poor diagnosis. Doctors don't listen to concerns. Most of my health issues were not diagnosed or treated correctly. Eventually found better treatment elsewhere.

Waited 6 weeks for my appointment with dr. mark liang--not my choice of provider just the soonest that was available and dude cancelled my appointment day-of. Called to reschedule and they said next available (with any doctor) was some time in March next year. I'm glad I'm switching back to Kaiser with open enrollment coming up. I actually haven't even seen a doctor at Stanford other than the one from 4 or 5 years ago and he was very, very subpar.like I could've googled that subpar. Don't be fooled by the prestigious name.on second thought maybe Stanford will be synonymous with turd care soon.

Lots of mistakes. Poor staffing and communication. I've had 2 experiences with rude staff in low demand situations. Equipment failures, implanted device fell out in shower months later. Unreturned phone calls, overcharging.

I used to be a patient at stanford when I was a child until my late teens. I hoped one day to work for stanford because the patient care then was amazing, now its all about finances and the EHR system that run everything. I also worked for stanford /contract position and could not believe the things I seen and the way coworkers behaved and treated patients which is why I left the organization. I was able to see both worlds and hope one day things will get better in patient care.
