Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Was taken care of by him and by one of his ER residents. Some guy with dark hair and full sleeve tattoos. Two of the coolest guys I have ever met. They explained everything in detailed and even pull up my CT and showed me the images. He also had his resident do an US and the guy showed me everything and explained what he was looking at. Worst day of my life but he had me laughing and smiling the whole time

Went to the ER at Desert Regional and lucked out by getting Dr. Stilllings. He listened to me without interruption, and upon examining me answered all my questions at once. Did not treat me like I knew less than him, which I realized later. He also valued the fact I was emotionally upset and calmed me at once. He gave me a prescription for what I needed and I am feeling much better.

Referred from urgent care for severe abdominal? pain to the Des Reg ER. I was seen by Dr J Stillings D O. Quickly, I felt I was in the right place due to his confidence? & caring. His expert but straight forward professional diagnostics via questioning, listening,communication & observations ,quick implementation? approach of tests & tratment plan showed he was treating the whole me not just an ER waiting room number. From start to finish including unsurpassable followup my rating is 5 stars
