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.

Great Doctor, Honest too!
I had breast cancer and Dr. Uhl went over my xrays and pathology report and answered my questions in detail. She explained that I may not benefit from any radiation and ordered a genomic test that showed I was low risk and that there would be no benefit to radiation after my lumpectomy. I am so grateful for her honesty and explanations. It has been more than 2 years and I am still caner free.

I chose her because of these great reviews. Sadly, my experience was nothing like what I read about. She missed all but the first two appointments. I get that she's very important, but I felt important when I was burnt like fried baloney. Granted, I have a rule that I leave after waiting 60 minutes. I could hear her blabbing on to other unsuspecting victims in the rooms next door. It was hard knowing what they were in for. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to her or to EpicCare.

Dr. Uhl is very caring and so smart. She lectures around on the world on the latest ways to treat breast cancer and is an author on many papers. I knew I was in the the best hands when I had a second opinion at UCSF where she used to teach and was told I would receive excellent care with her.

Dr. Uhl spent a lot of time with me and my family explaining my cancer and going over the treatment plan in detail. She answered all of our questions and at the end of the consultation, we decided we did not need to go to Stanford for a 2nd opinion because she was great. The video on radiation she had us see was also excellent. She even gave us her cell phone number! WOW!
