Dr Stoesser is one of the finest MDs I have had the pleasure of having as an attending physician. She has provided consistent, knowledgeable care for me over many years.
She addressed all my concerns and was very understanding
Dr. Stoesser is very professional, attentive, caring and communicates well with me so that I understand. I am extremely comfortable and glad that I have her as my primary care doctor
Did not really talk to her, just a courtesy pop in for first visit
You couldn't find a smarter nor compassionate physician. So thankful to have Dr. Stoesser at the University!
Very concerned about my health issues and suggested solutions-
Very respectful, relatable, caring and concerned. Easy to talk to.
She takes time to explain and to listen
Dr. Stoesser is very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in her patients.
I believe I met Dr. Stoesser once, but it was a long time ago. I'm sure she did a good job when she visited me as the doctors at the Centerville U of U clinic always are polite, and helpful.
Dr. Stoesser is very nice and seems very competent, but I really don't appreciate her second guessing Dr. Maradiaga.
She only came in because the first doctor was still in his residency and medicare required it. She was pleasant and curtious.
She is a thoughtful and kind provider and I trust her recommendations.
Nice lady.
She checked in with me due to Medicare requirements but was friendly and helpful answering a couple of questions I forgot to ask earlier
Dr. Stoesser has so much compassion for people with disabilities. I am so impressed with her dedication and kindness that makes such a difference in people's lives. The world needs more doctors like her!
I am very pleased with the care I receive from her
Dr. Stoesser was friendly and helpful. She is Dr. Kawai's supervisor. She was very approachable And daring.
I think she's getting tired of her job and needs to retire. Waiting over 20 minutes is frustrating I was ready to walk out thank goodness she apologized for her lateness.....
Dr. Stoesser has treated me with insight and thoughtful care for years. My most recent visit was exceptional. After a stay in the ED I was no closer to understanding what my problem was. I left my appointment feeling relieved and understanding the path forward so much better. I can't thank her enough.
Dr. Stoesser really understands my complex medical conditions. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and practical. The best!
Good
She was friendly and explained things thoroughly.
Great doctor.
Dr. Stoesser doesn't put me in a box marked older female. She sees me as an individual, listens to and responds to questions asked, and is open to working with me about my needs and requests. Professional and personable.
i enjoyed my visit with Dr. Stoesser
She gave me the shingles shot. She was professional and helpful.
Listen carefully to my thoughts and was very engaging. Felt encouraged after her visit.
My first visit with Dr. Stoesser. She is a careful listener and a patient, thorough explainer. I am happy.
I never feel like she is putting me in a box, something I've experienced with other doctors. Dr. Stoesser listens and talks to me as an individual. She is open to new things and works with what I am doing for my health.
Dr Stoesser is professional, kind and thorough. She listens and interprets, and makes wise decisions to ensure my well being. I am grateful she is my doctor.
She is a very nice Doctor.
Dr. Stoesser is a wonderful doctor. She listens carefully and she's very skilled.
