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.

Wonderful Doctor and Staff
Have been a patient for probably 15 years….extremely knowledgeable physician. Very friendly and down to earth. Easy to talk to and has a relaxed style that makes me feel at ease. Staff is fantastic too. Reallylike this practice and would recommend to anyone who needs a great family physician.

GREAT DOCTOR AND WONDERFUL PRACTICE!
I have been a patient of Dr. Stevenson's for several years. He and his staff are always friendly and upbeat. Every option of treatment/diagnosis is presented and explained. Dr. Stevenson has a quiet, relaxing way about him that makes a patient feel comfortable. He asks pertinent questions to help him treat your problem. Jenna, his NP, is wonderfully kind, knowledgable, and responds quickly to any portal inquiries. Allison runs the office in a friendly and efficient manner. And Julianne makes blood work painless and enjoyable (if blood work can be enjoyable!) I have no idea why some patients are unhappy, but you can't please those who like to criticize. Just know that Dr. Stevenson and his staff will take great care of you!

Happy Patient! – Jun 21, 2022

First of all, I find it strange that out of 33 reviews, 30 have been either excellent or terrible. I'll never have room for everything, but I'll list my main disappointment with him. I chose a male doctor, because over the years, I got more comfortable with a male. I'm 52 years old now. I recently went in for a physical; he asked if I'd mind if a med student (a girl who looked to be about 16!!) got started with my vitals; I said I wouldn't mind. He then comes in with her still there, and asks, since she's a student, would it be okay if she stayed for the rest of the exam; I SHOULD HAVE said no, but felt very uncomfortable with saying no in front of her. She proceeded to stay and did EVERYTHING you would expect in a male examination. I was mortified, visibly shaking as I was driving home. EVERYONE has a preference; if you pick a male doctor, you do so for a reason. Maybe put it as a question on the form you fill out beforehand ? BTW, I think Allison is AWESOME !! Enuff said !

Dr. Stevenson has been my primary for over seven years. He never fails to amaze. Very quick responses from him and his staff. He spends the time needed to diagnose issues that are sometimes not right at the surface. He always makes time for me.

Dr Stevenson is the most caring doctor I have ever seen with his elderly patients. He spends so much time listening to them and speaking with their family to help them understand forms that should be filled out for their care if they are unable to care for themselves. I would give him two big thumbs up!!

Very approachable and comforting on any health issue I've had over the last decade or 2. It's a plus he specializes in sports medicine. He is not just my primary care he is also my friend.

This is the most unprofessional doctor I have ever met and I work with many MD's. My husband is a patient of his for years now. I am begging my husband to leave him due to his lack of compassion. He has out right made fun of my husband and degraded him. He has done this in front of me and in front of a med student. He asked my husband " what level of education had he completed?" Before he would explain a diagnosis. At my husband's last physical he had told the student some info. that he was prou

If you need nothing from your doctor other than a yearly check up, then there is no problem here. He was not a good doctor for me.

I don't usually write reviews, but after seeing the first 3 I had to write something. Dr. Stevenson and his staff are great. The doc is laid back, takes how ever much time you need and will tell it like it is. I have been to him a half dozen times over the past couple years and I always feel very well cared for.

Dr. Stevenson has not demonstrated any ability to listen or provide guidance with a knee injury. Every conversation is rushed and impersonal. He doesn't seem to care to get to know his patients and help them make decisions about their health or wellness. While technically strong, nothing would make me recommend him. I am taking my diagnosis elsewhere.

I would NOT recommend going to Dr. Stevenson. He is more about protecting himself than helping people. I went to him for the purpose of ADHD and he pawns me off on a consistently Xeroxed list of psychologists that he gave me. In short, that list had mostly disconnected numbers or centers that don't do testing. So obviously this was a push off technique. I found my entire 4 minute visit to be completely pointless and insulting, as I was treated like a drugs addict looking for his next fix.

Was scheduled for a 4pm appt. Called at 3:48 asking for exact location because I knew I had driven past the bldg but kept missing it. Alexis, the receptionist, had a horrible attitude and told me I missed my 3:45 appt, really 4pm,which I would not have done as I had X-rays at the hospital which they had scheduled me for that afternoon and was in excruciating back pain. They would not see me. Told me to reschedule. She realized they made the scheduling mistake but still would not see. Horrible!
