I've been a patient of Dr. DeStephens for over 17 years and he is like no other doctor I've ever seen before. He spends as much time as needed to discuss any and all health issues. He takes the time to explain information in great detail.
Also, Chad his PA is awesome and is always willing to help in any way he can.

I was really hopeful going to Dr. DeStephens. However with my first appointment he didn’t introduce himself, didn’t understand standard medical terminology. He didn’t ask for my history and honestly was the first doctor that I almost walked out on. Very bad bedside manner and doesn’t listen to you. Very condescending.

Dr. Destephens is quite knowledgeable in skeletal muscular issues, and seems to be on the cutting edge of many modalities of healing. He has a western approach to medicine because that is how he is trained. He however knows a lot about bio-identical hormones, and tries to treat the whole patient. He has a friendly staff and they work hard to make sure you have no problem scheduling labs and getting what you need for healing. He also gives out great advice for posture, exercise and diet.

Dr. D has been my primary doctor for over 15 years. He is very professional, attentive, respectful and knowledgeable. He often takes the time to provide insight into ways that I can improve my overall health. What I like most about him is his humanity and transparency. Anyone who rates him below five stars, I would question that person's motivation. I have referred many people over the years to go to him for their medical needs.

Dr. Destephens thinks he is a gift to women. When he walked in, he didn't even look at me, he did not shake my hand or introduce himself, and proceeded to look at the computer. Then he deigned to turn to me and address my concerns. However, he went off on a tangent about calling me on any negativity he picks up. He ended up giving me the "5 no's" when I asked a question. At that point I thought "no thanks." I would NOT recommend him to any woman who has self respect!
