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. Stephens is so encouraging and sincere.
I was 9 months past my complete shoulder replacement surgery. I now have a great range of motion and strength in my shoulder I havn't enjoyed for 20 years!I have just set the date for my other shoulder replacement.

Nice personality
Dr. Stephens came into the exam room with a smile on his face. This was a very upbeat experience. I’m so glad I went to him for a second opinion. He was helpful in making my decision about surgery.

Amazing second opinion and my top choice
We flew in from Nashville, TN for a doctor's appointment with Dr. Stephens after watching one of his lectures and presentations on the new advancements in shoulder surgeries. We went to Dr. Stephens after getting horrible advice from an older, well-established orthopedic who touts being the leading orthopedic for the famous Nashville sports teams, but who had very little ideas, gave conflicting advice, and told my husband he doesn't have any options to solve his shoulder pain which was from a past injury which led to arthritis.After seeing Dr. Stephens, we were relieved he saw at least one or two very good options and ordered an MRI and CT scan to be even more sure. His support staff were gracious enough to help us get scheduled the same day since we were flying in from out of town. This is clearly not an option every day or for everyone, but we were very motivated and they were kind enough to make it happen!It is clear Dr. Stephens is an expert in this field and he is our top choice

Shoulder recheck 1 year after surgery
Dr. Stephens performed my shoulder surgery in October 2023. At that time, my range of motion was no more than straight out in front and to the side. I can now extend my arm well above my head and perform tasks I need to do more easily. Dr. Stephens and staff do a fine job of explaining everything you need to know before and after surgery. He is easy to talk to and never makes you feel that he is in a hurry. I would highly recommend him!

Best orthopedic surgeon in my opinion
My last visit was just yesterday it was my one year check up after left shoulder rotator repair. My shoulder is completely healed and I have full range of motion, this was the second shoulder surgery I had and Dr. Stephens has done, he did my right one back in 2019 and that out come was just as great and this one I can't thank him enough he is the best orthopedic surgeon in Ohio in my opinion, his work is fantastic and he really cares about you . Thank you Dr. Stephens for all you have done for me.
