James H Rhee
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Rhee is a physiatrist and a clinical assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. For patients with spine and musculoskeletal conditions, he focuses on providing exceptional care emphasizing minimally invasive solutions designed to optimize symptom managementand patient function.
Building on his background in engineering and on his specialized medical training and experience, Dr. Rhee welcomes opportunities to combine medical, mechanical, and interpersonal approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of each patient. He offers a full range of treatment modalities, including epidural steroid injection procedures, sacroiliac and facet joint injections, trigger point and soft tissue injections, orthopedic joint injections, and more. He also provides medial branch blocks and radiofrequency ablations, and performs electrodiagnostic studies.
Among the wide range of conditions that Dr. Rhee treats are bursitis, herniated discs, radiculopathy, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and spondylosis. He also has treated many forms of joint and muscle pain: facet joint, back, neck, hip, and sacroiliac joint pain.
Dr. Rhee’s experience encompasses short-term and long-term care for both acute and chronic conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, spinal problems, mixed spine-neck and spine-shoulder disorders, and peripheral damage. Many of the cases he treats are injury-related, while a significant number of others are associated with aging. Another portion of his patient population presents with conditions stemming from developmental anomalies.
Prior to joining Stanford Health Care, Dr. Rhee was in private practice in the Bay Area. Previously, he also served in the US Army as a troop medical clinic officer-in-charge and as a brigade surgeon.
Dr. Rhee is board certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Fauzia Riaz, MD, MHS
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Riaz is advancing biomarker-driven precision medicine in breast cancer through innovative clinical trials that integrate cutting-edge therapeutics and molecular insights.
Her research focuses on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in early-stage breast cancer, aiming to guide personalized treatment strategies. She is also developing novel approaches to enhance immunotherapy efficacy by modulating the tumor microenvironment, including early-phase trials that combine immunotherapy with radiotherapy. As an Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Riaz is committed to ensuring that these next-generation therapies are accessible to all patients.. -
Anthony J. Ricci, PhD
Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) and, by courtesy of Molecular and Cellular Physiology
On Leave from 2026-08-18 To 2026-11-08Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study hearing from biophysical, molecular and signal processing perspectives. One focus is mechanotransduction, where sound is converted into an electrical signal. As a major site for dysfunction, a more detailed understand will provide a means toward intervention. We develop new antibiotics to limit ototoxicity. We investigate drug delivery methods from surgical approaches to slow release systems, including gene therapy tools. We are studying cognitive decline following hearing loss.
