Patient Reviews
Feb 05, 2025
Everything about Dr. Stapfer and her staff was excellent, beyond words. I feel like I landed in a soft nest of Angels, who care about me and do everything they can to make my surgery and recovery as easy as possible. Dr. Stapfer, herself, has saved my life. I love St. Jude...every single doctor or staff I have seen, and I have seen many over the last several years, including my wife, has been caring, skilled and professional. Dr. Ford is the best; I and my wife could not ask for a more caring and competent GP. My experiences over many years (I am a Fullerton native son) with all of my St. Jude physicians and staff has always been one of confidence on my part and of competence and kindness on their part.
