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.

This man forgot to write me a prescription for my rash and barely engaged in any conversation or questions i asked, it was like he was an empty shell.. horrible experience will never seek to him again

It is so very hard to find a doctor who actually cares about his or her patients. My PCP passed away and what a mess I had trying to find the right doctor. Dr. Stella is one brilliant doctor. He actually listens to you and gets your treatment going. Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer to see him, but when your in the room with him he goes well above and beyond to help or ease your condition(s).

I have seen Dr. Stella for over 21 years and would never see another primary care physician. He has always been pleasant, kind and very humble. He has diagnosed a very rare condition exactly but sent me to specialists that confirmed what he diagnosed. He always returns emails promptly or calls me when I have a question or request. I would recommend him very highly to anyone.
