Dr. Alyono and her resident were truly fantastic. Very inquisitive, they showed they really care and want to hear from their patient. While my condition is not improving, it is very comforting to know Stanford has highly informed and considerate health care specialists that take the time to really dig into the issues to find solutions. I was very impressed, from the nice lady who checked me in to the health care technician that took my vitals. Keep up the great work Stanford!
