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.
Dr. Stoesser is very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in her patients.
She takes time to explain and to listen
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.
She checked in with me due to Medicare requirements but was friendly and helpful answering a couple of questions I forgot to ask earlier
Nice lady.
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!

In the 60+ years seeing a doctor, Dr. Stoesser is the best doctor I've ever gone to. She's a blessing to me.
She was concerned that I was fully taken care of and was treated for the reason I came to the office and everything was covered there. And if I had any questions that they had not answered.
Dr. Stoesser is always outstanding! I appreciate that she followed up via messaging to help me understand my blood test results. Courtney, the medical student who also participated, was very knowledgeable and friendly in her interaction with me. THANKS to both for your excellent care!

Dr. Stoesser is a wonderful listener. She is always attentive to what I am saying, is thorough with questions and answers. She is kind and understanding. I am so happy to have found her years ago when looking for a family practitioner.
As usual, good. She listens to me and understands where I am coming from. I just wish it was easier to get in and see her when something happens instead of having to go to urgent care...your urgent care sucks big time.
Shows concern and works to solve the problem
one in a series of providers who is not pushing me on a road of recovery. I am still dealing with pneumonia as if it is the first day of pneumonia, I am given new medicine that is not impacting to an improvement
Enjoyed meeting her. Was interested in me. I could tell she received and listened to a thorough report from Dr. Bia. She seemed like a great supervising MD.
My husband has been a patient of hers for a long time, he likes her, accepts what she tells him, all of that. But I felt as though what I was telling her about our home schedule "fell on deaf ears" as they used to say.
She has been my Doctor for 13 years, and ni complaints yet.
While she was very professional and definitely listened to my concerns. I was seeking another treatment option and she would not consider it.
good
Very concerning and helpful person. Very attentive.

Good Experience
She apparently keeps up on hair studies as well and recommend a medication for hair loss to help me.
She often doesn't remember me and our conversations are repetitive because of this.
Excellent support! I had a decision to make concerning my healthcare, and she listened patiently, gave me all of the relevant information, and allowed me to have my process.
I don't know anyone to recommend
Doctor left with a plan for next step. Asked person that took my blood I wanted to talk with the doctor again. I was told she was busy with another patient. He had me a stack of paperwork and told me all the information should be on the paperwork.
She probably has enough patients and doesn't need anymore....
Dr. Stroessner is a very good listener and takes a patients past medical history into account. After her exam she discussed several options for treatment of my problem and offered a better solution than I have had in the past.
Dr. Stoesser is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. She is an excellent provider.
Doctor was rushed to leave room
Went in for my yearly checked, didn't have any corners, just needed my medications refilled
This was a very thorough exam. Dr Stoesser was not rushed and took time to listen to me and give me options as to varying treatments. I really like her, this was a good visit.
Talked about how IUD was doing with me and made sure everything was good. Also talked about when I need to get some labs done and also discussed mental health. It was a good visit
