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.

Dr. Steven’s is the best doctor I’ve had in years. He explains every step of each procedure. He answers any questions you may have completely and where you understand the answers. He is patient, listens to you, respectful and a joy to talk to. I would highly recommend..

Gaslights! Doesn’t listen
After a year of working towards surgery, during my surgery consult, he said that my issues weren’t “bad enough” and to come back when my colon fell all the way out. His office only booked 10 minutes for the appointment and the nurse ushered me out of the exam room saying they had another patient that needed the room for a priority appointment. It was humiliating! I’ve been a patient of his for many years and once thought he was the best in the area. His PA Jessica Puskarich is extremely rude and condescending! It’s tough enough dealing with colon issues without having to be treated so demeaning! I will NEVER go back, not even when my colon falls all the way out!

Awful post surgical response and care
After two rescheduled surgeries, a rude on call physician, and the these physicians constantly being in Surgery making them unable to respond to patient questions and requests post surgery, I’d highly caution you to choose this practice and this physician. His PA and the staff there are great, this physician, they may need assistance on to best help their patients heal post surgery. Also- do not call on call physician, once I was told there was nothing they could do until Monday and the other time he acted like whatever was happening in the moment wherever he was was way more important than my pain and questions. Very rude.

I had surgery to remove an abcess on my left ovary and fallopian tube. It was so damaged that it became fused to my colon. Dr. Stevens did my surgery and removed the abcess cleanly and performed a colostomy to allow my body to heal. Reversal of the colostomy is an option. I will be returning to see him again to reverse the colostomy. Great bedside manner. Very concerned about his patients. You will be in good hands with this doctor.

Dr Robert Stevens, professionally he is one of the finest doctors I have ever met. He puts his patients health and well being at the front of his practice. He bedside manner is second to none. He made me feel like I was not only the most important patient he had, but that I was his only patient. Karen and the rest of his staff are top notch too.

Dr. Steven's diagnosed and performed the surgery to correct a chronic fissure I had developed. Not only did he fully explain every possible path and treatment option, he also had amazing bedside manner. I suffer from chronic pain, knowing that he did everything he could to ensure he was not adding to that pain. His attention to patient care is unrivaled. He also made me feel safe, being a 22 y/o female going to se a doctor for an issue like this is scary, but he alleviated that worry.

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2017 and Dr. Stevens performed my cancer removal surgery along with an iliostomy, then performed the resection/reversal. He was very informative and educated me on every aspect and option available for my situation, He did a wonderful job with both surgeries and has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever seen. I would highly recommend him and his office to anyone.

Dr. Stevens has great surgical skills. I have improved tremendously since my surgery and I give many thanks to him. Hats off to Karen, Dr. Stevens's nurse, because she is such a compassionate individual who truly cares about Dr. Stevens's patients. She helped me through the before and after process of my surgery. She actually checked on me regularly after my surgery and never made me feel like a nuisance if I called with a general question. Thanks to this facility!

Dr. Stevens and his nurse Karen have the most compassionate and patient bed side minor. Because he also very knowledgeable his confidence reassured me. During surgery he was so attentive and communicated with me every step of the way. Being an excellent doctor with a wonderful bed side manner is hard to find. Dr. Stevens is one of one.

I had a condition that had been bothering me for years and had gotten much worse recently. Dr. Stevens corrected this for me in a virtually pain-free manner. I was very, very pleased with the results. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Stevens to family and friends.
