love Dr Hindeya She is warm and caring and always familiar with the patients history when she enters the room
SHC Patient, Jan 2017
even took time to talk with my partner about her concerns questions and answers about my condition. Gave us a print out of what was discussed always overloaded with new information this is great.
SHC Patient, Jan 2017
Dr took her time explaining things to me and understanding my condition
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Dr. Hindiyeh discussed my complex medical history(good thing for having an e-chart) and a possible treatment plan with her fellow right before going into the exam room. That's good because at least she was up to speed on everything so I didn't have do much explaining. She has other patients who have VP shunts too so I was comfortable in the diagnosis and treatment plan. As a patient of Dr. Gordon Li(a neurosurgeon specializing in VP shunts at Stanford) I was relieved to know Dr. Hindiyeh finally figured out why I was having this type of new headache. I've dealt with it undiagnosed since this past summer.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Excellent!! Wonderful.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Dr. Hindeyeh is lovely, and shows me great care when I am in. I am disappointed that I will not be able to see her now that my research study is over, and that I have to start all over with a new doctor. I don't really understand it.

SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Excellent office presence accepting of my inputs.
SHC Patient, Aug 2016

SHC Patient, Jul 2016

SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Vora went above and beyond!!! I live 4 hrs. away and she spent as much time needed, I will continue to come back!! you all are the best!!!
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I was overall satisfied with my level of care during this appointment. My questions and problems were heard and answered, the informational questions asked of me were extensive and seemed thorough, and I received the treatment plan that I anticipated and wanted. That said, while the doctor was nice and concerned and seemed quite competent, there were a few questions asked of me that seemed personally probative and not relevant to my medical care. I do not think these questions were asked with the intention of making me feel badly, offended or uncomfortable, and, in retrospect, I should have declined to answer. However, as a patient, I believe it's important for my medical care that I answer my doctor's questions thoroughly, and so it makes it difficult to evaluate and react when some questions seem inappropriate. To be specific, I have a chronic illness and am unable to work at this time. The questions to which I am referring are: "How do you financially support yourself? Oh, when was the last time you worked? Do you want to work and have a job?" Like I said, I don't think they were ill intended, but they made me feel judged and badly. This turned what should and would have been a mostly satisfactory and great doctor's visit to a situation that made me feel slightly disrespected and denigrated.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
My physician shows great care and encouragement.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Dr. H. was very professional, kind, and performed excellent clinical practice techniques.
SHC Patient, May 2016

SHC Patient, May 2016
Dr. Peretz was very thorough and I feel very confident in her care. She took the time to take a thorough history and explain everything well. excellent listener and clinician.
SHC Patient, Apr 2016
felt l had no real answers to my issues .
SHC Patient, Apr 2016
Very thorough - knew I was in good (the best) hands.
SHC Patient, Apr 2016
Loved the providers, very personable and honest with me! Very grateful for that!
SHC Patient, Mar 2016
Since this was a short visit (due to traffic conditions), it was a much quicker paced appointment than usual. However, my concerns were addressed and a plan of action was agreed upon.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Great! Better than expected and better than anywhere else so far. My meds have not yet been adjusted.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
No diagnosis was verbally given to me on my condition. I would have appreciated be able to talk about this w/the doctor.
SHC Patient, Jan 2016
In addition to my usual protocol, I received an injection which helped minimize my migraine pain. So appreciative. Also reminded me to stop taking Excedrin Migraine more than 5 times per month so I won't get rebound headaches. I'd forgotten!
SHC Patient, Jan 2016
Both doctors I saw were very informed bout the info I sent ahead of time & my problem overall. They also listened very well.
SHC Patient, Dec 2015
Never felt doctor was rushed.
SHC Patient, Nov 2015
Although I felt the Doctor was amazing I spent I think 15-20 minutes with her and around 30-45 minutes with the medical student. As someone who is studying pre-nursing I understand how important it is for students to get hands on experience however I felt I did not spend any time with the doctor. When I did she was able to explain things in a very well concise way but I wish I could have spent more time with the doctor.
SHC Patient, Oct 2015
I was very pleased with this doctor and PA. My only problem was understanding the followup procedures which is likely my fault and I should have asked for clarification.
SHC Patient, Oct 2015
She is awesome. Great bedside manner.
SHC Patient, Sep 2015
Best experience I have ever had with a doctor at Stanford!
SHC Patient, Sep 2015
overall superior
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
My care is fine but not outstanding because my condition is not improved as much as I'd like to see.

SHC Patient, Mar 2015
I really appreciate the way she listened to my concerns about losing expression in my face because of Botox. She also asked about the location of my migraines, and made very slight adjustments to the location of the injections. I love the way she listened.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
Expert, competent & sweet! What more could I ask for?
SHC Patient, Aug 2014
