Dr. Damrose is outstanding. He administers BOTOX injections into my larynx to relieve symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia. I have been receiving this treatment for 31 years in hospitals from New York to Seattle to San Francisco and Stanford's is by far the best. We always discuss prior injection results and he asks my opinion on the appropriate dosage. He is extremely skilled and gentle resulting in quick and relatively pain-free injections that are effective and long-lived. I can compare to many other doctors and Dr. Damrose is, without question, the best.

Thank you, Dr Damrose!

Dr. Damrose is and has been essential to my well-being over the years. He is extremely busy but never appears too busy to talk, to explain, to consider options and share medical knowledge.

Dr. Damrose is an outstanding surgeon and person
exceptional patient communication by physicians
I have great respect for Dr.Damrose and feel fortunate that I can receive his services. Over the years I have encountered many physicians who are not willing to listen to questions which I have regarding new treatment practices and the efficacy of these as they would apply to my medical issue. I need transparency from my physicians, he provides this and I have trust in his care. He also takes the time to walk me through endoscopy procedures explaining what we are observing at each step. He is excellent at reducing anxiety by describing the details of your anatomy and what you may expect to feel as he proceeds. Dr. Damrose will also admit when he doesn't know something! What a humble physician! He's an excellent professor!
Dr. Damrose and the PA were obviously proficient in this field. Explanation and bedside manner is beyond a '5' rating. Dr. D deserves the highest praise we can give for all he has done for Tim.
