It was a horrible experience, he was very condescending, I did not know I was supposed to go to PT and he treated me like I had just broke all the rules. He did not inquire about what was going on with my back, he did not investigate what kind of issues I was having, never touched my back and I did not feel he cared about my pain. He was just focused on me not doing PT. His bedside manner was terrible, I would not recommend him to anyone and I will not continue my relationship with him. I guess he doesn’t realize people have choices and I was never treated so poorly. Not a great experience!
Always a pleasure seeing Dr Stevens. Love the way He listens to you and takes his time explaining what needs to be done. Highly recommended.
There are not enough words to express the care that Dr. Stevens has provided to me over the years. His professionalism, compassion, patience, knowledge and understanding through two surgeries and aftercare are by far the best I’ve ever experienced. With my unique medical condition, I can’t imagine care without his input that I highly respect, trust, and admire. He is valuable to his patients and the Ortho Arizona group as a collective group! Thank you, Dr. Stevens.
Open and honest evaluation as well as very easy to discuss our concerns.
He had his mind made up about me and my pain before he walked in the room. I'm a vet so I am accustomed to questionable medical care.... but he made the VA look good! He touched my back for an all of 2 maybe 3 seconds. Rushed through the entire exam. I spoke only about half of what is specifically hurting in my spine and he wrote me off. I'm looking for answers, advice, perhaps a little help..but I got a 2 hour drive for a 5-10min conversation with Dr who made up his mind before meeting me... I am not going back.
Knowledgeable, open minded, thorough, kind,
Dr Stevens is the best! Instills gr8 confidence in providing best care possible.
Always awesome.
Clear and to the point ch or what’s need in my recovery. He’s a awesome back doctor!
Great job
