• My husband works at SSH and Dr Stephen was recommended to us by three separate providers- his reputation preceded him and we were not disappointed! I am so impressed with Dr Stephen! He was extremely thorough in his exam. He spent a lot of time explaining details about my diagnosis, his thought process for my options and plan of care, showing us in detail the findings on the MRI, and answering all our questions. While brain surgery is a scary prospect, I am reassured knowing I'm in his care if I decide to take that route.
