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.

Did not even examine me
I was referred to Dr. Stigen about a possible need for a hysterectomy. I waited three months for my appointment and at the appointment itself she merely reviewed the results of a previous sonogram - she did not examine me physically at all. My vitals were not even taken! She declined to give me an opinion as to if I should have a hysterectomy or not, and she offered only a guess as to what my medical issue might be. I had to find yet another GYN who then immediately referred me to a specialist surgeon and I was fast-tracked for surgery as I very much did need to have a hysterectomy. Because of Dr. Stigen's lack of action or opinion of any kind my situation worsened. She does not prescribe birth control or do any kind of infertility work (her right), but if she doesn't examine women either, what exactly does she do? DO NOT go to this doctor - she is dangerous to women's health.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Stigen. She listens, she takes the time to explain things, she is extremely thorough, she made me feel important and cared for, she is patient.. the list goes on. I wish all doctors were like her. I struggled with infertility for years and saw several infertility specialists to no avail, so I decided to visit Dr. Stigen. Best decision I've ever made. She helped me to get my health on track and I was able to get pregnant! I recommend her to everyone!!!

Dr. Stigen is very knowledgeable, respectful, caring, patient, unhurried, and thorough. Though her services are driven by Catholicism (she does not perform abortions or prescribe birth control, which is her absolute right), she was completely non-judgmental and completely professional at my appointment. She is very confident in her abilities, and comfortable with her surgical limitations. She explains well, and answered all my questions. She made me feel comfortable and safe.
