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.

I don't believe it would be too far-fetched to say that Dr. Ira Stein saved my life. About 20 years ago I was stricken with an uncommon liver disease, and he spearheaded a team that arrived at the diagnosis and saw me through treatment and followup. He is knowledgeable, pleasant, thorough, and straightforward. I look forward to my semi-annual follow-ups, and would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Stein is the best. I knew when I found out Jill was his nurse, that he would be top notch and he is. He is very knowledgeable and will get to the bottom of your issue like no other doctor. He also comes to Dickson and everyone in this area loves Jill. She's very smart and knowledgeable of her job and made me feel at ease. I also had a friend who was treated for Hep C and said the exact same. Again, I can not say enough good things about him and his nurse.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Stein?
I would recommend Dr. Stein because he took the time to explain what he found with the test that were conducted and then recommended a treatment plan. He suggested that I talk with another doctor and get a second opinion, before moving forward with the treatment plan. He was very caring and concerned about what was best for me.
