I immediately felt valued and not rushed in any way. I appreciated her empathy and thorough explanation of the surgical plan.
Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable
Very thorough and prepared for visit. Answered all my questions.
Dr. Mishra is a good listener and provides answers or solutions to my concerns and questions. She is understanding and easy to talk to. I am thankful to have her as my doctor.
Dr. Mishra is very professional and respectful. I discussed my gender dysphoria with her and my childhood sexual trauma before the exam, and she agreed to examine me while I was under general anesthesia for a different surgical procedure with another doctor. I was impressed by how well the two doctors coordinated their procedures to address my personal needs. Dr. Mishra will also refer me to two other departments to discuss my upcoming procedures/concerns, and she has offered to perform the next needed surgery at the same time another surgeon is working on me once again to minimize the amount of traveling I have to do and the number of times I have to have general anesthesia. She is also friendly, easy to work with, and knowledgeable in her area of expertise.
O think she is very sweet and very profesional. She answer all my question and make me fell very comfortable. Thanks

I love Dr Mishra she save my life several years ago
Dr. Mishra is helpful and caring. I wish I lived nearer to her office.
Amazing work repairing a major and huge prolapse - I have had NO problems with using the area since surgery (wasn't able to use it AT ALL before surgery), or with excessive pain due to surgery. My only problem, heavily dependent on me being disabled and already in pain all the time before surgery, was having pain meds which worked not be allowed (because they have bleeding risks), and having to try things which ultimately didn't work well, too close to surgery. Dr. Mishra listened well and took in everything I said - I felt heard. Maybe what we talked about will help some other disabled woman in the future; I hope so. Disabled people are all different - but I would recommend Dr. Mishra to any of us. Her assistant, Dr. Clare Burton, was also responsive and supportive on the day of surgery, and the whole team made me feel taken care of.
Dr Mishra was great at helping me understand my options. She was patient and compassionate. Would recommend her!
She has so much patience with me. i have questions and she'll answer them right away sometime i speak before she finish and i say excuse me and she always said that alright tell me again. I'm glad she is my doctors i can ask her anything about my body and she answers me so i can understand. very nice and very professional thank you Kavita

Lovely doctor, to the point, truly hears the patient side, oriented to find the right solution for her patient and keeps in mind what the insurance would cover, so no bad surprises occur later on. Does not rush, points out pros and cons of procedures and options— ultimately : she won my trust!
Very clear and comprehensive in her evaluation.
Dr. Mishra was extremely helpful. She explains things very clearly and answers all questions. She open minded and always takes the time to give original very thought answers unlike some providers who seem to have pre-defined view of problems and solutions. Her approach leads to the patient being understood properly and the patients problem being addressed. She also took the time explain a procedure so it was not a mystery and the patient understood what it entails. She is a rare gem in the field of Women’s Health who empowers them with real knowledge and trusts that women can handle the real truth and it is good for them to know!!

Stanford needs more doctors like Dr. Mishra. She is smart, listens to your input and spends enough time with you without trying to rush.
the doctor seemed very rushed like they didn't have time for my appointment. I'm sure something important was going on - and my case isn't complicated or urgent so is easy enough to rush, but I left feeling a bit rushed out the door.
excellent doctor and staff
Words fail to convey my positive experiences with Dr. Mishra. Aside from the life-enhancing & delicate surgery, her kindness, compassion, & understanding went beyond any relationship I've had with physician. She is brilliant, yet unassuming & warm.
Dr. Misha is outstanding. She is empathetic, thoughtful and knows a lot about this issues I am having. She gave me examples and possible issues that my come up. It is easy to reach her if I need help.

Dr. Mishra is extremely meticulous and describes the care choices.
Dr. Mishra is very engaged in my care and actively included my husband and I in my plan of care, discussing present concerns and different treatment potentials. I particularly liked how she engaged the PT who was following her during the visit to draw upon the PTs expertise and experience. I think a multidisciplinary approach is key to optimal patient care outcomes. I learned from my visit and with this knowledge I can work towards improving my care and quality of life.
Just excellent!
The doctors are so so talented and very very kind. The Urodynamic Technician was very good at explaining what to expect, she was "heavy" handed but very dedicated
