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.

Kind and knowledgeable. Wish we could speak more
My mom had both knees done with him. He is very good at what he does but I've only had the pleasure of speaking with him once. Extremely knowledgeable patient and kind. My mom was in so much pain afterwards that some of Dr. Stefancins attributes would've come in handy for our family! We could've used the reassurance and kindness he provided immediately after the surgery. Still .. 9.5 out of 10 would recommend!

Dr Stefancin takes his time to explain everything, answer all questions you may have and is kind and compassionate in his care. I have been an RN for 41 years and have not only taken care of some of his patients during my career but am a patient of his myself!

Dr Stefancin has performed 3 surgeries on my husband. We are very confident in him and the surgeries he has performed. He is very detailed in his preparation and explaining what he will do. He also is very pleasant and has wonderful bedside manner. He also has been very good with follow up appointments, along with his staff.

Dr. Stefancin repaired my right rotator cuff and my pectoral sternum tendon. He also reattached my pectoral clavicle tendon. As in his prior surgeries performed on me, all went extremely well. In eight to 12 weeks, I plan to have Dr. Stefancin replace my left knee.

Dr. Stefancin did a wonderful job on my surgery, doing what other doctors said could not be done. He also actually asked me, since part of the surgery included thinking outside the box, if I had any regrets. I have never had a doctor care about how I felt about what was done. He also explains everything!

I have been seeing Dr. Stafancin for approximately 2 years and he is awesome.....as with all of us..human nature is to have reservations when it comes to your health...I did. What I was impressed about was his bedside manner....and knowledge of patients question & his willingness to explain things to us. I've had a surgical procedure by him which I am very pleased of the results & would entrust further treatments to him if needed in the future....Thank you Dr. Stafancin...
