Dr Stephen has always provided me with highly professional care and honest yet empathetic answers to any queries I have correlated to my battle with Parkinson's Disease regardless of time restraints that are sometimes needed as health care providers. I'm hoping that this is not going to change in my future visits to Dr. Stephen and any of the other doctors/physisians that I might need to see at MGH.

Our time with Dr. Stephen was very well spent. He was very prepared, knew my full medical history regarding Parkinson's, and was compassionate and interested and emotionally supportive and filled with thoughtful ideas and considerations to which he came to the meeting. We're very happy that we had such a professional to attend to our needs. We find it a rarity in the medical profession to find someone so caring and so completely engrossed in their work. Definitely would recommend him again. Thank you.

Dr Stephen provided an excellent and thorough examination, listened carefully to my concerns and provided options to assist. In addition although I was 30 minutes late (massive snarled traffic leaving Storrow Drive) he was gracious and did not rush or omit any of the exams. So very glad to be seen by such a great provider.

i have never experienced the level of focused and attentive care before that I have received from Dr Stephen. He comes into each session having obviously done much research into my history and knows everything in my chart. His level of care and genuine concern for me as a patient is extraordinary. I would recommend him highly to anyone.
