Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.

"Dr Pearson provided outstanding care and professionalism: I felt heard and respected: I think he came out with a solution to a health issue I've been dealing with for years. I've visited many doctors, and they all gave me the same treatment, which was to fight the symptom, not the cause. My experience with Dr Pearson was refreshing. His approach is to find and fix the root of the problem with a simple and comprehensive treatment. I'm very hopeful and truly happy to have found him."
