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.

Very thorough & knowledgeable
Asked great questions and had a common sense approach to fix up our little guy’s broken elbow. I’m thrilled I saw her for a second opinion!

Personal and helpful
I have never had the experience I did today with Dr. Stelma with other orthopedics. She was thorough, took time to examine and explain everything to myself and my daughter about her conditions. She listened to my daughter and did not once discuss or ignore her complaints, concerns or questions. Weber been to multiple other orthopedics and I can honestly say I will never go to another pediatric practice other than here. Even her medical assistant was phenomenal and very sweet! The staff was also very pleasant and not rude or dismissive. They were attentive and professional which is something you don’t see much these days! The entire office seemed to have a great morale and positive energy that was very noticeable and allowed both my daughter and I to feel at ease throughout the entire process from check in to check out. I highly recommend this practice, and Dr. Stelma, she exceeded all my expectations on our very first visit today! I look forward to working with her at future appts!

Impatient and inexperienced
The doctor was impatient in answering our questions. She was not very experienced and had to refer us to another doctor.

Exceptional care
Dr. Stelma exceeded all expectations! Her kindness and compassion towards my 9-year-old, who had a fracture, were truly remarkable. My daughter left her office feeling safe and cared for, insisting we give her a five-star rating. Dr. Stelma's professionalism and warmth were evident from the moment we walked in, and the best part? No wait time! Highly recommend her for anyone in need of excellent care.

Reassuring and great with kids!
My 3.5 year old had a minor knee injury that didn’t seem to be healing and was causing her to limp, so we were referred by our pediatrician for a same day walk-in evaluation. Dr. Stelma was instantly warm and disarming with my little one. She was patient with my daughter’s silliness throughout the exam and gave a thorough diagnosis. She is a clear expert and fast friend to little kids!

This provider was very patient while my 11-yo explained what happened during his injury. She knew exactly what steps to take next.

Skating Knee Injury – Feb 07, 2024

Brutal wait 1 hour + every time. Not worth it
The wait for this doctor is absurd. Every time we go for a routine check up we have to wait over 1 hour in the exam room. My child is in a paper gown and uncomfortable. It is not even worth the wait for this doctor. We are there for scoliosis and she barely examines her or provides any information. I tell anyone to run from this disgrace of an office.

Great doctor, but waited awhile in exam room
Great doctor. Excellent with kids. But we waited 50 min. in the exam room to see her, on two different visits. This might be more of a scheduling issue than a reflection on the doctor.
