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.

Worst experience ever
After waiting 2.5 months for an appt and 6 months of extreme pain, this Dr told me to do more physical therapy when I have a letter from my PT therapist saying conservative treatment was going to plateau. Being reasonably upset, she told me I should consider antidepressants and shot me up with a cortisone shot that made everything worse. Skip this Dr. and go outside Kaiser. Not worth the delay in treatment.

Dr Lisa did hip tendon repair surgeries on both of my hips in 2017. Recent MRI shows full recovery. I still have issues with my back where pain radiates to the hips but MRI shows the pain is definitely NOT from the hip surgery. Very happy with her bedside manner and results. I am an athlete so recovery to return to snow skiing is very important.
