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.

Honest and Compassionate
Visited Dr. Stevens for a second time, her first visit was short and to the point, which is what I needed that day and my second visit i was continuing with journey and she took her time and really tried to get to the origin of my pain. it was amazing and I cannot thank her enough. we need more docs that care, but give the hard feedback to help us get better. thanks Dr. S.

Attentive, compassionate and highly qualified
I saw her for an issue that i had seen several doctors for who couldn't figure it out. She listened to me, exactly knew what was going on and treated my medical condition with compassion. She is highly knowledgeable and the care I got shows her years of experience and that she cares about her patients. Highly recommended!

Not satisfied with Dr. Stevens or staff
In speaking with staff over the phone, they had my information incorrect twice. Dr. Stevens told me that my insurance would not cover injections unless I had first gone to physical therapy for 6 weeks. My insurance said that they Would cover injections, if they doctor gives prior authorization. I look for friendliness in a physician, and she was not; it's like 'what she said was all that was important'. I felt very frustrated at both visits.

Not nice
Showed up to my appointment at 12:45. She finally comes in the room after 2:00 and yes by that time I'm a little ill. She tells me that things come up. I should have scheduled at a different time and that if I'm going to be that way we should part ways

The worst – Apr 04, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Stevens?
Compassionate, Quality Care
Dr. Stevens ordered necessary MRIs to determine the best care for my condition, listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and showed genuine interest in helping me find maximum relief from back pain. In my case referral to a neurosurgeon was warranted. I am now recovering from surgery and I am already feeling much less pain than I have had in many years. I am very pleased with the care she and the staff have provided. Although I no longer need pain management for this condition, I continue to see her for other conditions.

Dr. Steven’s
I’m writing this review on Dr. Stevens for the excellent care that I received during my office visits. After explaining my situation with Dr. Stevens she put me on a new Tricias regiment that was specially designed for me. After seeing doctor Stevens now i I no longer have have knee problems are acid reflux. I also have been on several cholesterol and blood pressure medication’s but since my weight loss journey with Dr. Stevens, my lifestyle has changed dramatically! My eating habits have changed, as well as my exercise regiment. I no longer have to take blood pressure medication, reflux medication, our cholesterol medication. My lab work has never looked so good, I have never felt so good, I have the confidence that I have desired for so many years. I can’t say enough good about Dr. Stevens and her staff!
