Dr. Shoor has been friendly and compassionate since we first met him in the hospital.
Dr. Shoor is a wonderful doctor: thoughtful, data-based, knowledgeable, and with a great bedside manner.
I have a chronic medical condition at the severe end of the expression of this disease. It often takes a long time to establish this understanding of the somewhat unique presentation and a while before my description of symptoms and condition are taken seriously by a provider. Dr. Shoor has always been understanding and accepting of my reports and thorough in my treatment.
I saw 3 doctors at this visit and all 3 were VERY concerned & curious about my recent health issues. I was very pleased and felt I was in the best hands possible.
The Best!!
seemed to care to talk only about issues related to my medications Enbrel and Plaqurnil. Showed no interest and made no comments about my other concerns and comments. Sat quietly looking at the computer screen or my file and made no comment at those times. Seemed to be uninterested and in a hurry to leave.
Dr. Shoor is wonderful. He represents the "old style" physician. He really listens to you. Even though my condition deteriorated over the years, he still instills hope and tries new treatments and approaches. I like his detailed after visit summation and instructions.
Dr. Shoor is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and practical & appreciated the time & thoughtful discussion we had. He is among the last physicians I have met at Stanford. He can provide thoughtful insights into my health situation.
Dr. Shoor is an excellent doctor.
I refer everyone who I think would benefit. I live 8 hours away from the clinic.
Dr. Shoor is an amazing doctor. His compassion he has for his patients is amazing. He is always thoughtful.
He or the drs. were very patient and explained to me my questions. #1. 2 doctor male and female.
An excellent provider! Very knowledgeable and most caring.
Dr. Shoor is pretty amazing. I've never had a doctor who treats me like an equal partner in my disease management like he does. It makes me nervous to think that some day he'll want to retire. I sure hope the rest of the practice at Stanford is as caring as he is.
Dr. Shoor is a very good provider, he explained my condition thoroughly as if I am his medical student (luckily I have medical background). I would recommend that Dr. Shoor to my family members if needed.

He is very good.
My physician, Dr. Anna Postolova, was very easy to talk to. She cared about me and solving my situation. Would recommend her highly to anyone in need of professional help ~ her understanding and compassion were wonderful.
I think he seemed a bit more rushed than usual but still an excellent visit with all my questions answered - and very efficient.
Dr Shoor's recommendation of new treatment reassured me that it was the best way to go. My kidney doctor also recommended the same treatment as well.

Dr. Shoor and staff were outstanding
Dr, Shoor is always deeply knowledgable about my current health status and issues, caring, and right on top of what might happen next. Wonderful person, caring doctor.
he kept asking me why i was there, i was referred because of a positive blood test result but he kept asking what questions i had before he explained whqt the test was far, just awkward and frustrating
Dr Shoor is wonderful. I never feel as if I have to convince him of my pain. He is so caring and sincerely wants to help.

Always a good experience with Dr. Shoor. He is very understanding and very compassionate. Understand my problems and needs, always provides care accordingly. He is the best of all of my doctors.
I have never had a doctor spend an hour with me to discuss my health issues. This was a tremendous experience.
Not only was Dr Shoor able to answer questions I had so that I could understand, but he also answered questions from my family member, greatly putting mind at ease.
He explained everything, but most importantly he listened to me and understood how I felt. He knew my hands and joints were swollen and painful and so when he shook my hand, he did not squeeze it. That small act spoke volumes to me. Then when he examined me and saw the swelling, he understood my pain and he came up with a plan and included me in that plan.
Best explanation of my condition that I've had came from dr shoor. Very caring.
No bad experience.
Both Dr. Shoor and his resident took great care in their assessment of me, were thorough in their explanations. Even though I got squeezed in as their last patient before Christmas, they never seemed in the slightest bit rushed.
Not even PA. directly to great Dr. Mervin Shoor. Thx. Stanford.
Have no worries.
Dr. Shoor is always very warm and informative. Goes over my lab report in details and seems concerned with my well-being.
Very knowledgeable and experienced doctor. His personal touch in dealing with me makes a big positive impact. Would highly recommend him.
I did not feel rushed even though I needed more discussion time.
Average
Dr. Shoor is truly amazing. Even when we don't know what is going on with me he doesn't give up. So helpful.
Dr. Shoor looked at my arthritis & other physical issues with total understanding of my past, attentiveness to my current state with a plan & referral, and thoughts about my future as a whole person.
Wonder experience. Excellent providers.
Dr. Shoor is amazing! He is by far the best doctor I have ever been to. I've never had a rheumatologist that treated me as an equal partner in my care, who obviously took time before my appointment to think about my care, and who does such a good job of making sure I get the care I need.
DR SHOOR IS AN EXCELLENT RHEUMATOLOGIST AND HE ALWAYS PROVIDES THE CLINICAL DATA NECESSARY FOR A CLEAR AND CONCISE DOCTOR/PATIENT DECISIONS AS WELL AS THE CARE TO BE PROVIDED

During appointment, vocabulary was easy to understand. First time appointment can be awkward as you begin to establish a rapport. Subsequent emails for discussing treatment option were less clear and I had to get clarification on the terminology.
Dr. Shoor seems very concerned and compassionate. And it comes across as genuine.
Every Doctor, PA, Nurse and office staff have been great. Stanford saved my life and I am very grateful.
