Dr. John Stephens, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Stephens for about 5 years. He and his staff are very professional, friendly, and efficient. I have always been treated with the utmost respect. Last week, however, everything changed. I was taken back and asked how I had been. I explained that I had recently been laid off due to outsourcing. She then asked me if my insurance had changed and I told her I now qualified for Medicaid. She left the room and when she came back said that Dr. Stephens was refusing to see me. I offered to pay cash but that was rejected too and I was being asked to leave. I made it to my car before I burst into tears. I was humiliated, ashamed, and just a little angry. I don’t blame Dr. Stephens or his staff. I blame our broken American healthcare system. Still, it hurts. It hurts a lot. I’m trying to adjust to my new reality as a second class citizen. Still, I can highly recommend Dr. Stephens and his staff. They’ll take very good care of you (as long as your insurance holds out).

I thought I had found a great dermatologist, but then I needed an appointment quickly and Dr. Stephens was available. I switched to him immediately. I get an annual skin cancer screening, and he is incredibly thorough and explains things well. This year, he was late - because I could hear him next door, working hard to calm a young patient who needed multiple spots biopsied. He's great.

I am an anxious patient and I have been a Registered Nurse for 30 years. I accidentally found Dr. Stephens and without a doubt he is the best physician I have ever been too. He never appears to act like he is in a hurry. He is kind and takes time to explain what the situation is. There is not one negative thing I can say about Dr Stephens. I wish I could go to him as a regular physician. EXCELLENT

After five minutes he diagnosed what another dermatologist I had seen 5 times in the last five months couldn't. They did not take time to listen or even look good at my conditions, Dr Stephens, asked the questions and did a scraping of my rash because he took the time to listen. I have been itching for 6 months with scabies! Would like to sue my old Dr for pain and suffering! Hopefully in two weeks I will feel normal again! Cannot say enough good things about him!

Dr. Stephens is an excellent doctor.

Absolutely wonderful! He takes his time and very thorough and he even followed up with me today...it's hard to find a dedicated doctor like this.
