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.

Terrible and continued to declined over 3 years!
She likes two diagnosis, PPPD and vestibular migraine. She likes to give drug after drug after drug. She doesn't care how the drug effects you if it doesn't help your symptom. She just moves to the next pharmaceutical. Looks nothing past these diagnosis. Turns out there are plenty of tests to do and different diagnosis that none of her choice drugs work for! Nor do her standard way. The neurological exam, ha what exam? Waste of time, money and loss of health. She is a facade under the Stanford name.

She is the worst doctor ever
I saw her in 2019. I had sever vertigo and dizziness. I was referred to her via the ENT department at Stanford and waited 9 months to see her. She saw me for a few minutes and prescribed tons of expensive tests. Then she prescribed me with PPPD!!! It is a fabricated and totally made up diagnosis. She sent me for months of vestibular therapy and never followed up with me. I almost died and the doctors told my husband to call my parents as I was not going to make it to the next day. I finally found out that I had autoimmune disease. She tortured me and never called back to even apologies. Beware if she ever diagnoses you with PPPD. She should not be practicing.

I met with Dr. Steenerson on 11/1/16 - she was on time. Best of all she was clear ,concise and informative about my MRI results making it easy for me to take preventive steps to stay healthy. I would recommend her without reservation. I left the appointment with practical information, reassured and better able to care for myself.
