This review pertains to Stanfords Palliative care division and one particular physician there Grant Smith. I would like to inform you of the content of a video appointment I had with Grant Smith after I requested a referral to palliative care to discuss the problematic symptoms I have following a diagnoses then treatment for prostate cancer in early to mid 2021. As a sideline, I am acutely aware of the way authentic and high quality physicians handle patient interactions from experience over 70 years. My father was a beloved physician, public health officer and founded Redwood Medical in Redwood

I am new to stanford and its my worst decision I have ever made. For a regular blood work they charge me 3000 and a online chate with doctor cost me 400 and a tdap vaccine charge me 800. Even with insurance i need to pay for a 1800 are you kidding me. How could a routine check up cost that much.They are just a big scam. I will ask everyone to stay away from this crazy company.

When I spoke to Anna Lederman following this and told her about her diagnosis being wrong and based off a test that's not confirmatory... she apologized and offered to PAY ME. BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL. UNUSUAL. STRANGE!!!!!!!!!! Once I finally took
