Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Doctor I have ever had!
She listens carefully & works to figure out what is going on in your body. She is very caring & responds to email questions herself. She has helped me navigate multiple autoimmune diseases. I am so very thankful that I found her.

The staff was helpful and professional and I was taken back to the waiting room in a decent amount of time. Dr. Stoesz was friendly, but could be insulting and purposely "def" while doing so. Basically she wouldn't listen to me at all and then essentially suggested my pain was all in my head. Any help she offered had to be dragged out of her.

I was pleased that Dr. Stoesz was so thorough in the questions she asked. She seemed genuinely interested in my health and well being. I feel she will be an asset to my personal medical care. She is very friendly while still maintaining professionalism. Great bedside manner too.

Love her. She is very, very thorough. She isn’t your typical doctor. Definitely no over-inflated ego. And, she makes phone calls herself. Lots of them. Unbelievable, right? She continually researches to find ways to help my rare disease (which other drs said was my weight). ?? She now works with my husband and my brother-in-law too. I highly encourage you to consult with her. A couple of reviews are not about Dr Elen Stoesz, Indianapolis, IN. (Different states listed & referred to as a male.

I was not impressed. Dr. Ellen was unprofessional and condescending. It was the most disturbing interaction I've ever had with a doctor in sixty years. The good news is I'll never CHOOSE to see this one again. What a complete waste of my time and money! I'm not sure how or why she's getting high reviews because it was obvious to me that she enjoyed making unproductive, snide personal remarks about me during the entire appointment. My guess is I'm not the only patient she's treated poorly.

Dr. Stoesz is the best! He interacts with my children like he genuinely loves them. I am a breastfeeding mama and he made me feel very comfortable with it...even when I was still bf after a year. We never had any major problems with our kiddos, but he was always there to answer my "silly" mom questions. He even didn't bat an eye when I told him I thought my daughters three month long cough went away due to me finally giving her elderberry syrup ??. I highly recommend him!!!
