Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Medical Care by Dr. Stephens!
From the moment we stepped into Dr. Stephens' office, we knew we were in good hands. His evaluation was remarkably thorough, and he took detailed notes while attentively listening to our son's (9 yo) medical history, which is fairly complex and goes back a few years. What truly sets Dr. Stephens apart is his commitment to answering all our questions in depth. He goes the extra mile to explain the science behind his answers (that is, didn't just brush away our questions), giving us the sense of confidence backed by science and his experience. We loved that Dr. Stephens offered a structured and carefully thought-out plan of attack, so we now know exactly what to do, and with some luck will finally be able to identify the root cause of our son's condition. By the end of our visit, we felt not just satisfied, but truly valued. If you're looking for top-notch medical care that goes above and beyond, Dr. Stephens is the one to see.

Dr. Stephens is a caring and wonderful physician. He has outstanding bedside manners in managing my 15 year old son and my concerns. He takes his time explaining the diagnosis and managing patient treatment. He always returns our calls. I would highly recommend Dr. Stephens to any parent in need of a pediatric Gastroentorologist.

Great improvement from previous gastroenterologist! Takes time to explain care and answer all questions, never a long wait and seems to genuinely care about his patients.

My daughter started seeing Dr. Stephens when she was only 4 weeks old. Dr. Stephens has been nothing but wonderful to us. He takes his time, is extremely thorough, answers questions in detail, and has made us feel like she is in great hands. He has gone above and beyond to find answers and make sure she is comfortable and growing well! Dr. Stephens has personally called after hours to check on her. We are very lucky to have found Dr. Stephens and are forever grateful for him!

My son spends months going to a pediatrician for stomach problem without any results. I went to Doctor Stephen and he was able to diagnose my son problem, it was crohn's disease. At the time my son's visit Dr Stephen, my son was in beginning middle school and was has only 50 lbs and Dr Stephen admitted him into the hospital right away. Since then for the last 6 year he has done a wonderful job managing my son crohn's disease. I could not recommend him more.

Dr.Stephens should start thinking outside the box which could have possibly cost my son his life if we did not react the way my wife and I did. Dr Stephens diagnosed our son with a Gastro problem and 2 months have gone by losing 33 lbs and pleaded for him to be admitted into the hospital after being in the ER 3 days prior. My son was admitted and a Doctor in the hospital took a cat scan and it tuned up that he has 4 brain tumors. The office is worried about co pays and bills rather than health
