The doctor and the nurse was so friendly and very detailed to ask nearly everything
Excelente Hospital
Trustworthy, friendly, knowledgeable, hopeful.
Very professional and a great communicator.
Seems very knowledgeable, and concerned about my situation
Best Health care service I've ever had

they are fantastic!!!!!!!
so far so good
Very efficient
Dr.MacArthur did a great job. My care was great.
provided extensive consultation and answered all my questions
I appreciated his patience with my questions. That seems to be part of the culture at Stanford.
everyone that I talked to was very friendly, and explained to me what to expect.
Dr. John Macarthur made me feel very confident about the up coming procedure.
Thorough.
This was a great experience with professional care from all involved
Personable, attentive, explains things very well
Thank you
He was very easy to talk to and prepared to answer any question we had, and appeared very knowledgeable in the heart medical field. I was very grateful that he was of the opinion that he could repair or replace my calcified, worn out and poor functioning Mitral Valve that can hopefully grant me a few more years of life on this beautiful earth.. Also in the process of doing so, possibly give him additional knowledge that could help someone in the future, including my two Sons who were born into a family with a background of heart problems.
Alway great at Stanford
He is a very good doctor. It wasn't his fault for the video appointment screw up
I haven't received a call yet to remove the pee bag
Thank you!!
Dr. MacArthur is, like, totally awesome!
Very thorough and explained my situation in a manner that was understandable.

He is the best
Very friendly and down to earth which made it easier to feel comfortable talking about all my medical concerns. Explained things in a way a non medical person can understand. I appreciate his positive demeanor. I feel privileged that I was accepted by Dr. MacArthur and Dr. Woo for my complicated surgery.
Very informative and personable. Instilled confidence in me about the procedure and the outcomes.
Most excellent.
He made me feel confident that I was in good hands. He seemed knowledgeable and I feel I can trust his opinion.
He took the time out between surgeries to speak with me, answered all my questions, and didn't make me feel like he was in a hurry.
He was very thorough and understanding and patiently answered all of my questions which were a lot. I really appreciate that.
