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.

DR STIDGER IS A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE DOCTOR. HE DID ALL KINDS OF BLOOD WORK & TEST UNTIL HE FOUND MY PROBLEM WHICH WAS R.A. & NOW I AM A LOT BETTER ON MY PAIN MANAGEMENT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. THE ABSOLUTE BEST. THANK YOU DR STIDGER

Very troubling. At my first visit he indicated he was not prescribing any medication, then 4 days later 2 boxes of the same medication arrived at my door. If I had taken the medication, grave and severe consequences could have occurred. I sent him a message on my chart about the issue and he did not respond. Only saw him the one time and will not be going back to him.

Worst medical experience of my life. I have never met a physician more cold, rude, awkward, and clearly with a distain for me I did not deserve. Right off the bat he was irritated that I was even there due to my positive ANA test - he said, and I quote, “That test is the bane of my existence”. I was speechless. The whole time I was there I just wanted to leave. Had I not prepaid $125 I absolutely would have walked out. There are so many other examples I could give but I honestly don’t want to relive that uncomfortable, disheartening moment in time. Needless to say I did not go back and have sought treatment for my condition elsewhere. You couldn’t pay me to see him again.

I saw him for less than 6 months after being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. He doesn't care about you, only your diagnosis. I once tried to explain symptoms that meds he prescribed were causing and he said "I don't know what that means" and hung up on me. He didnt care when I reached out to him suicidal, because he put an already depressed person on meds with a suicide warning and then had the nerve to tell me "if you have a question about your disease let me know" He has no empathy and no business working people with chronic illness.
