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.

First visit with Dr. Stephens
The visit was exceptional. The staff is very cordial and efficient. I was in and out in a matter of 40 minutes. This is mainly due to having my paperwork completed online beforehand. This is very beneficial to the patient as well as the TOC staff. Dr. Stephen’s is one of the best hand and wrist surgeons in Tallahassee. He performed surgery on my husband’s wrist and did a phenomenal job. Thank you for such great customer service.

The Best hand and wrist surgeon in Florida
Dr. Stephens is a hand and wrist expert. He is also kind and pleasant. His PA and staff follow his lead and are wonderful too. I’m a guitar player and he performed an extensive surgery on my hand for Dupuytren contracture that had spread through my palm and little finger. I was worried I might lose the use of my hand or the dexterity and sensitivity needed to play guitar. But I’ve made a full recovery and I’m very grateful. Thank you Dr. Stephens!

Good experience
Dr. Stephens was very nice and personable and kind. He really took his time with his thorough assessment. He didn’t make you feel intimidated or hesitant to ask questions and made you feel “heard” about your concerns. He would take the time to explain everything to you as well.

In Good Hands
My office visit with Dr. Stephens was pleasant, prompt, and professional. To need a hand specialist was surprising, but I'm glad I did before things got much worse! After meeting and discussing my needed upcoming surgery with PA Tiffany, and Dr Stephens I felt as prepared, and informed as possible. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this physician and feel as though... I'm in good hands.

High quality care.
I experienced 3 fractured bones in my wrist. Dr Stephens spent time explaining his surgical plan and follow up treatment. I never felt rushed at any appointment. His manner was very calming. I’m grateful for my positive surgical outcome.
