  • This was my first time seeing Dr. Stephens. He had a female student with him and asked if it was ok she stay in the visit, which of course it was. He took his time asking pertinent questions regarding my family hx of skin diseases/CA and explained prior to mt skin exam what was involved. I would like to note that he also took the time to let me know if I had any issues with insurance to let him know so he could help with any peer to peer or notes needed. In this day in age that is rare. I was pleasantly surprised that he commented on that as it shows he is mindful of the many issues people face regarding medical claims. I addressed two "moles" that I have had for a very long time and how bothersome they were to my every day life and he offered to freeze them off. assuring me they are not of the cancerous type as far as he could see. He did both and made sure I tolerated them well. Very very impressed with his knowledge and bedside manner. 10 out of 10 for Dr. Stephens
