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.

The best practice hands down. Dr. Stephens has delivered my last two children via C-section and the surgery went very well. From the process to recovery it went 100 times better than my first delivery before I started seeing Dr. Stephens. Holli and Christine are also phenomenal for check ups and if you’re lucky enough to have a natural delivery.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stevens for almost 5 years now. I had two of my three children with him and I am expecting number four. I would not consider going to another OBGYN! Dr. Stevens is outstanding and has excellent bedside manners. Holli (mid-wife) has delivered two of my children and I am hoping she will deliver my fourth. All around Dr. Stevens has an incredible practice from receptionists to mid-wives. I highly recommend them!

Stephens told me despite my young age that I had already experienced Perimenopause and that if I wished to become pregnant I needed to do it right away, because I was entering menopause. 3 yrs later, despite not having a period in 5 yrs, I have three positive pregnancy results. When I called, terrified, I was told half heartedly the Dr would see me, but I also referred to an abortion clinic if I, “Didn’t want it.” What kind of heartlessness is this? He destroyed all my hopes with 1 blood test

Wrongful Conception – Aug 14, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Stephens?
I held off on writing a review, but as a healthcare professional myself I have to write my concerns for this practice. It all went down hill from the week of my due date. Some med concerns were after my delivery I had a UTI, I went in to have it rechecked and they told me they never sent out my results. I left a sample in the bathroom and no one questioned it? You just flush it? I also drove all the way to their office to pick up a script and they wrote it wrong so the pharmacy wouldn’t fill it

Tiffani in Ona Florida – May 02, 2018

They are always very rushed and have no time to listen and address concerns. They are very reactive verses proactive. I lost a child since they wouldn't listen to my concerns and address them. Dr Stephens is arrogant and thinks he knows everything instead of listening to a woman who knows her body. Horrible practice.

Very picky about who they see and will drop you from the practice without forewarning you of the policies. When you see the actual dr it's very rushed no time to ask questions or anything he is more worried about if the sinks are working in the exam room instead of answering any questions you might have

I had my little guy almost 3 months ago and I miss good to the Obgyn! Is that even possible? Haha! I didn't have a motherly figure to help me through my pregnancy and I really connected with Holli! She is amazing and I miss her now that I'm not pregnant and going in every week. She put my mind at ease everytime. I would leave her office so happy and excited to give birth! I was so sad the day I went into labor and she had just gone home. I felt like she was missing out! Sharon was great though.
