“Dr. Rozenn has been a life saver, since Stanford did not know what to do with me anymore. I was desperately seeking help and found her. After stomach surgery and recovery, my gut slowed down significantly causing more complications. Her treatment and Chinese herbal remedies, not only helped me significantly, but I could live a normal life again and manage my care better. I cannot thank her enough.” Darlene ~ Santa Cruz
