Dr Stephen is the most caring and compassionate doctor. he takes the time to listen to you and not just give you the 10-15 minute face time visit. He is very through in any treatments and starts at the bottom then goes up from there. He is not a pushy doctor that knows everything (although he most likely does). I have been a patient of his for almost 8 years. I have been through 4 different stimulators and the last was atempted by Dr Stephens, when he could not get it placed due to the scar tissue he sent me out of state. I had my last one done by a doctor in Arkansas. That was a success done by Dr Peterson at UAMS. I highly recommend anyone with pain or wanting alternatives other than medications to make an appointment with him. He has great office staff who respond ASAP and greet you with respect and making you feel at ease knowing you are hurting. Give him a try. I can assure you that your questions will be answered and if not by him he willl send you to a doctor that can. read more
