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.

Incredible doctor to say the least. Dr Stephens actually cares about his patients. He takes time with them and explains what processes are needed. Most doctors today really don't care and that is especially evident when you become a senior citizen. Dr Stephens goes out of his way to make patients feel comfortable. I have the utmost faith and trust in him for my health needs.

I'm so glad I found Dr. Stephens. I came from another wound care that I was not impressed with at all. Very painful experience. I find Dr. Stephens to be highly educated, compassionate, & an easy doctor to talk with. He listens. Doesn't make you uncomfortable when asking questions. He's thorough. And I really like him!

Amazing Doctor & Nicest Guy
Dr. Stephens treated me for a a stomach staph infection. He was the absolute nicest person. Explained what procedures he was going to use and made a painful health issue tolerable. I had several follow up visits as a result of my infection & was consistently kind. His staff was fantastic. You could tell they loved working with him. If you need a wound care physician, Dr. Stephens would be the best choice.

Dr. Stephens is professional, knows what he's doing, and genuinely cares for his patients. The Wound Care facility, however, is absolutely terrible. It's nearly impossible to find (the receptionist in the medical building had never heard of Dr. Stephens), they have answered exactly 4 out of my 18 calls over the last week, they don't submit prescriptions to the pharmacy, take days to return calls, and now I've waited 2 days just for a medication question. I'm transferring out and staying away
