People, Please STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR I visit DR. Laura Stevens for a regular checkup. The total visit time was around 1 hour. We spoke about my health approximately 10 minutes in total, another 10 minutes for a blood pressure test, temperature and pulse measuring. Rest 40 minutes Dr. Laura Stevens asked me inappropriate personal questions: "What car I'm driving?", "What is my rent payment?", "What is my salary?". All these questions make me feel extremely uncomfortable. Dr. Stevens repeat phrases "You pick the right girl", "I'm the best doctor for you", "I'm very knowledgeable" nonstop. After the visit, Dr. Stevens billed my insurance $400 for "Medical care" - I DID NOT GET ANY MEDICAL CARE. And billed me $250 for "Lab tests", but I don't remember any lab test. Again -She will keep you in the office to charge you more and will ask you "What car I'm driving?","What is my rent payment?", "What is my salary?" -She will google information about your health problem. -She will bill you and your insurance for "Lab Test" THIS IS HOW SHE IS DOING HER BUSINESS! People who was scammed by this lady, message me please, We gonna file a collective court claim. read more

Laura Bea Stevens, MD - My bill for 10 min talk - Family Practice Near Me - Cupertino, California

Dr. Stevens has been my primary doctor since 2002 when I became very ill. I randomly picked her as a doctor because she was near my work and I've stuck with her ever since because she saved my life. She is an old-school doctor who listens and then uses her seasoned intuition to actually do something to help. She won't give up, and If she can't solve your health problems she can get you to a specialist quickly. Now, whenever I go to a place like PAMF and meet with any of these new, insurance-owned doctors it only reinforces my 5 star rating for Dr. Stevens. read more

Dr Stevens provided the best care I got so far in the bay area. She is so caring and detail oriented. It is last year, I got a fever and got a spot luckily even though I am a new patient. Besides careful examination, I have 3 tests done at the *same day* since she literally called those specialist's office and arrange appointment for me. That is the so efficient and convenient for me. Thank you, Dr. Stevens! read more

Dr. Stevens and staff are exceptional! Greatest doctor bar none--extremely thorough, very accommodating, kind, & professional. Simply outstanding!! An amazing doctor, Dr. Stevens is for you!!! read more

I don't normally post reviews but I want everyone to know what a great doctor Laura Stevens is. I brought an individual with disabilities to Dr. Stevens and she treated him with such respect and care. He felt welcomed and comfortable. She made sure this person understood what she saying and referred him to specialists if it was needed. PLEASE look up doctor Stevens. She will take great care of you! read more

I loved dr Stevens for years until I recently got a second opinion which led to third opinion of my blood work. It turns out my blood sample sat for one day then shipped to somewhere took another few days to analyze. This is not acceptable dr. read more

Appointment time 9:30am, left around 11:15am, Dr. said another patient cancelled next appointment, so Dr. kept us there talking useless things. She answered the question by google her phone. She referred us to a specialist doctor who we do not like. When we cancelled specialist appointment. She called us immediately, She was not happy. It looks like she has some relationship with specialist office. Artery blood flow test, Lung function tests, Oxygen mouthpiece, New doctor visit, 45+ minutes. Nobody like this doctor does these tests and keep you longer time to bill the insurance. This is the way this doctor works! No patients like her way! read more

I called the office to schedule an appointment for the same day because I had a severe pain. They told me that I have to give them my personal and insurance info before they can tell me whether or not they have an available appointment for that day which was very strange! After I provided all my personal and insurance info, I was told that they still cannot tell me about the appointment and I have to Email them the exact same info again and they will call me back! I did send the email but never heard back from them. It was a really bad experience and looked more like a scam that asks for your information and then disappears. read more

Beware this office. The billing done here is a scam. As other reviews have mentioned, she makes you wait after entering the door, and then stalls further during the appointment, charging for simple checks. A great strategy to make a quick extra couple hundred bucks. Even worse, she openly discussed business matters with specialists she referred us to. The specialists turned out to be questionable at best. I don't know if other reviewers have been paid off, but I see that all positive reviews are always five stars. Meanwhile, most negative reviews are hidden. I do not understand why a doctor would feel the need to overcharge patients, especially new patients. This can't be good business in the long run. Again, beware - do not come here. read more

Dr. Stevens is enthusiastic, powerful lady Doctor. Sometimes I will be stressful by her strong energy but that's ok. Just think I come back to grandma's house in country side lol This place is not crowded like other Doctor, so when I am sick at the morning, call right away and I can get appointment around noon. This is the best thing of this office. read more

I am a believer! I have been getting Zerona treatments with Dr. Stevens and it really works!! After 5 treatments my family really noticed the difference and asked me how much weight I have lost. While I did not lose that much weight, I did lose inches from my waist and hips. Dr. Stevens was able to work around my busy holiday schedule and she and the office staff was really nice. If you are looking to kick start your New Year's weight loss program, start here :-) read more

This review is long overdue because I have so many good things to say about Dr. Stevens!! She truly cares for her patients and makes you feel like you are her one and only patient and first priority. She always asks me if she can do better as a provider. She chats with me like a friend and makes me at ease with every visit. One time I called on a whim asking about altitude sickness medication because I was going mountaineering the next week. She made an appointment for me th next day and when I got there, she had articles about altitude sickness & how the medicine worked, printed and available for me to take home!! This is going above and beyond. One time I came in accidentally a week early. But she insisted I stay , was flexible enough to still see me and had the MA draw my blood since I was fasting. In response to the negatives reviews stating she "stalls" in order to bill for more is bogus- she takes the time to try to get to know you and gives you thorough care. The reviewer stating 'it seems like a scam because they need your insurance info emailed to them first" obviously doesn't know how insurance works. Their system makes it so you don't have to waste a trip incase they don't take your insurance- they'll check it before you arrive. I have nothing but gratitude for this office! read more

Never go to this doctor! She keeps you in office unnecessarily for a long time, chatting with you on unrelated things. There is no other patient in her office during business peak hours. I don't see any professional capability in her diagnosis, just feel she wants to keep patients who have good insurance. I was right! She charged insurance highest amount compared to all other doctors I've visited. Such a greedy doctor without any reputation! read more

Been doing annual check-up since 2014. She is very friendly and detail oriented. She notes every minor details.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. She is defensive, unprofessional and combative. She even reprimanded an employee in front of me in such a way that I was uncomfortable enough to walk out. read more

Best doctor ever! Gracious and understanding in the face of catastrophe. She provides a holistic approach to health care and considers all the factors and possible ramifications. A lot of my friends have seen her for over 20 years. I'm glad to be one of her patients! read more

I had a bad experience with this doctor. she cannot stop talking about herself and her life, meanwhile 10 min later i have yet to tell her about my medical problem that brought me to her office in the first place. after i had my turn to speak i mention that someone in her office had been rude and short on the phone. that was it. i have never seen a more defensive an unapologetic person in my life, let alone a physician. there was no apology, no shame. not even an acknowledgement of wrong doing by her staff. she was combative and i started to feel embarrassed for her outrageous behavior. I would not recommend this doctor. unprofessional.period read more

I had been seeing Dr. Stevens since 2000. Dr. Stevens took GREAT care of me especially the preventive health care. Based on lab results, my life style and eating habit, she made recommendations that I could accept and follow better. She always explained everything in details, so I would understand what happened and the possible root causes and remedies. I travel to South America, Middle East, Africa, South Asia.. as a volunteer, based on where I went she prescribed necessary medicine or vaccine to make sure I had something for emergency before I came home. She always sent me to specialists to make sure the out of range lab results were "normal". I was bitten by sand flies or bed bugs in Middle East a few years ago for one of my volunteer missions, and developed severe reaction, more than 60 extremely itchy red big bumps all over my arms, legs, and body. Fortunately, Dr. Stevens prescribed antibiotics for my trips, after talking to her over the international phone call, I started taking antibiotics. 7 days later, I came back and arrived in SFO on Friday 12:30PM, she had me come in to see her around 2:15PM, and made an appointment in her office for me with a dermatologist who still sees patient on Friday late afternoon (Dr. Stevens knows every specialists' business hours!!). I was able to see a specialist within 5 hours after I landed in US. I relocated to Malaysia in early 2016. Before I left, Dr. Stevens made sure I was vaccinated and in good condition. I am grateful that she keeps me healthy and worried free because I was not able to get medical insurance for the first 6 month in Malaysia due to visa issue. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to her for the care and attention I received in last 15 years. read more

Dont know about being a good listener-but she sure can talk-her father,her son ,her ancestors-OMG.DO NOT SET YOUR FOOT IN THERE! Told me over the phone she was part of my insurance netwoork .Turned out to be a complete lie which i only found out about 6 months later. Came in for a routine phisical.Before i see dr.stevens the nurse is giving me this weired breathing test..that turned out to be very costly-a few hundred dollars which they falsly justified in stating that i came in with an emergency breathing condition!!!!!.Kept sending me bills and said to ignore them while the insurance is processing the claim.A complete lie.they knew full well this will never happen.ended up calling the insurance and all the lies surfaced.waived my fee of 700$ after i threatened to persue legal action.do yourself a favor and go see a real doctor. read more

I was recently reviewing my medical records to see if my FSA payments were in order and what do I find some $9000 charge from 1999, from a BEA medical group, after goggling it I found it was Dr Stevens, when I came to this country I thought I will get a full physical as the insurance covers that once a year, I just selected this doctor from the insurance preferred list, BIG MISTAKE, we would go to her office and wait for on average of 2 hours and non-stop tests for months with referral to specialists . Consider I was in my 20s and perfectly healthy, this was just a precautionary check. After about 2 -3 months the ordeal was over and result- everything is fine. During the visits she always used to talk how I didn't had a muscular body as her teenage son, weirdo I recently again had a full physical after 10 years and it took hardly 1 hour and few tests. I am not paying this hack, Stay away. read more

I randomly found Dr. Stevens while working in the medical device industry. I found her to be one of a kind, personable and very thorough person. Thus I switched my adult primary care to her. I have now been her patient for over 9 years. Her service has been extremely amazing. If you need something done, she will get it done for you. I have even called and gotten in the same day! Her approach is like how physicians used to be. Not in a hurry to get you out the door and on to the next patient. When I have been sick or injured, she has come through for a streamlined approach. She used to only take cash for co-pays but now takes credit cards. read more

Dr. Stevens gets an ecceptional review and a 5 star rating from our family. She cares. She is a dedicated, old school type of physician. These days, Negotiating the healthcare insurance maze is ugly offering mostly doc-in-the-box minimalist care based on cheap......no preventive care. Dr. Steven's philosophy of early diagnosis and aggressive treatment saves live. For those who have realistic expectations, I highly recommend her for your family needs read more

I wanted to post another review for Dr Stevens when I saw a one star review from Johnny H from July. Dr Stevens is one of the last hold-out independent doctors. My family goes to typical clinic where they don't check for anything since they are paid a flat fee. Dr Stevens is very thorough and tries to catch everything early on. She refers me to specialists anytime she sees even a small flag. There has never been an issue in almost 15 years I have been going to her. Not sure what that patient was complaining about regarding fees. The office bills the insurance company and if you have a deductible then you have to pay for it. That's normal these days with most insurance companies getting stingy. You can always ask them upfront and they are very clear about it. I would highly recommend that you see Dr Stevens instead of going to any of the large clinics or hospitals! read more

Dr. Stevens was our (wife & I) primary care provider from 1992-2004 when we left silicon valley. I agree with Jill H's review in her details. What I will suggest is that if you, like I was at that time, are in a hurry, always book the first appointment in the morning. Like Jill H. said, Dr. Stevens really will take a significant amount of time analyzing your condition and listening to you to see if you've noticed something she's missed. read more

I went to Dr. Stevens back in 2003. Dr. Stevens and her staff were horrible! Her staff always kept me waiting for a long time before being seen. In addition, her staff was not knowledgeable about medical practices or procedures I had to have done. Dr. Stevens ran me through a battery of tests that were unnecessary. My current primary care physician looked at all the lab results and couldn't believe Dr. Stevens would even run tests that didn't pertain to me or my age group. I just received a notice in the mail that her office tried to bill my insurance company for an office visit I had in 2003 and it's now Sept. 2009. If her staff were competent they would've billed the visit back in 2003. I would not recommend Dr. Stevens to anyone. I was so disappointed in her service I even told my insurance company about Dr. Stevens so they could remove her from being an authorized doctor. Make sure you do your homework before seeing Dr. Stevens! read more

I had a really unpleasant experience at Dr Stevens' office and won't be going back. I went in for a routine problem that I have had before. However, Dr Stevens is a chronic over-prescriber, over-tester, and over-medicater. She sent me for a whole raft of tests, which she assured me were necessary and routine for my condition. Turns out they weren't, and my insurance wouldn't cover them because they said they were ridiculous. I went back to Dr Stevens and told her this. Her response was that I should have checked with my insurance before having the tests (true). However, her manner is very abrupt and she makes it very difficult for you to check whether your insurance will cover all of the tests she gives you. While in her office, I was given a barrage of tests - blow into this tube, pee on this stick, stick your foot in this machine, give me a bit of blood here.... it was all done so fast there was no opportunity for me to question the tests or to contact my insurance. All the time, she was chatting to me about her family and assuring me that all the tests were routine and that she does them with all of her patients. Other doctors that I have spoken to since have told me that the tests were unnecessary and that it was unethical of a doctor to give me the tests without first explaining what they were and waiting for informed consent. I really feel like Dr Stevens took advantage of my trust. It was a very expensive mistake on my part. Finally, I was never able to get a proper bill from Dr Stevens to find out how much I owed her. Each time I called I got a different number from the receptionist. After requesting a written bill several times, both in person and over the phone, I was finally given a scrap of paper with a handwritten number on it. Check your options, read the reviews (including the filtered ones) and find yourself a doctor you can trust. read more

I'm not sure where to start with regard to Dr Stevens. I've been seeing her as my GP for at least half my life and I'm 56 year old man. This Doctor has the combination of modern day medical science and knowledge combined with an old school country Doctors demeanor. She could tell you most of my extensive medical history without opening a file. She Cares more than any Doctor I have ever seen. I have at times in the past had periods where I had to use a large HMO (starts with a K) and saw many Doctors.. All good I'm sure, but you just can't compare this personal touch and quality care.. You won't be rushed in and out. She will spend the time it takes with you to get to the bottom of the problem and ensure that you are referred to the very best physicians in the area that you are having problems and typically gets you in with them in very short order.. It's difficult seeing anyone actually post something negative about her here, though in fact it seems it's the insurance company they're complaining about.. She will go to war for her patients health and well being, and has in fact nearly had to do this over the years dealing with insurance companies and bias against women Doctors and private practice as opposed to the larger medical groups that are prevalent these days, Please don't base any opinions about this Doctor on the behavior of today's insurance company procedures that I'm sure are frustrating to most of us when we have to deal with them. She recently got "in network" for my insurance provider (united) in order to make life easier for many of her patients. I would see her regardless.. I don't think Doctors can get much better than this. read more

Dr. Laura Bea Stevens is an amazing individual, as well as doctor. She has gone out of her way to help me, and even got on the phone herself to refer me to a surgeon for a same-day appointment. I will go as far out on a limb to say she probably is responsible for saving my life. Would recommend her above and beyond any doctor I have come in contact with in my life. If you're looking for first-class care with compassion and someone with an amazing personality, she is your doctor. I would also like to add that her office staff are always smiling, happy to help and very knowledgeable. You don't find that in many offices these days. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! She seems nice at first, but she literally does NOTHING except think of ways to bill you as much as possible. She's the only medical office that is mysteriously very easy to get an appointment with and that's the first sign something is off. Every visit she will attempt to chat you up about unrelated things knowing if she can keep you there over an hour and a half, she can bill the insurance for a "complex" visit which just so happens to be twice as much. She will then pressure you into doing a bunch of general tests which again are unrelated to your visit and increase the bill. Since going to her a few times I am continually getting random bills from my insurance saying she's attempting to file for visits that were already filed and performed over 2 years ago. She just files, and files, and files, and files hoping the insurance will pay out without questioning it. Even our own insurance company has warned us about her "practices". DO NOT GO HERE! Yelp, do NOT remove this review! I can provide NUMEROUS bills proving myself and my spouse went to her if you wish to see them. She literally will not stop filing them, so there's no shortage to show you. read more

Dr. Stevens has been my family physician for 30 years. She is a good listener and it reflects the concern she has for her patients. As a fourth generation doctor and being Stanford trained, her standards regarding care are exceptionally high. Her staff is professional and I never feel forgotten when I am being seen in this doctor's office. She will refer you to an appropriate specialist if needed. She has medical tests performed to ensure proper treatment. As a result of her extensive experience and aptitude she has prevented me from neglecting serious health issues. I am impressed by the extraordinary service of Dr. Steven's office. read more

I agree fully with Mr. M.. Everything he said about Dr. Stevens is absolutely true. I am very disappointed that I went to her. As a young student from another country coming here to work and save money, she caused me more debt than I had before. Just be careful and like he said, Do YOur Research before you go. Just choose someone else read more

Dr. Stevens has been my primary care physician for over twenty years. She and her staff are warm and friendly and she has provided excellent care since day one. She treats the whole person, not just your symptoms. She is an excellent diagnostician and has correctly assessed my health issues over the years, and referred me to wonderful specialists, as needed. She will spend as much time as needed with you and not rush to get to her next patient. She is a kind, caring, and compassionate health care professional and I'm not sure what I would have done without her all these years. I try not to think about her retiring one day because I know I won't be able to find a replacement. read more

Dr Stevens has been my primary care physician for more than 30+ years. Owning my own small business there have been times when Kaiser was my only choice for coverage. Even during those times if the prognosis or recommendation from Kaiser seemed odd, off to Dr Stevens I would go. And more times than not she was spot on! She has always gone a step above with my care. She knows me and understands my quirky system, even to the point of my struggles with dyslexia. Well today she has once again saved the day. I was having a problem with my endocrinologist, not the doctor but his over structured office polices. I had enough, I was through, and done with their procedures. If I had heard the word portal one more time I would have blown my top. Well, Dr Stevens knew I had a winner with the doctor and was somehow able to talk me down and calm down a very angry office manager, and yes get us both to apologize and work together. You may not call that doctoring, but I beg to differ, I once again have the best doctors available and they acknowledge my limitations and kept me as a client. She has saved my life, my daughters, helped me mourn my mother and father and takes care of my health always. Now that's a good doctor and someone I can always trust! read more

Do your homework before stepping a foot into this place. She only wants your $$$$. You will get charged with something that you don't know if your insurance covers it or not. I was doing my internship there for school and the day I was interviewed from laura, it was not professional at all. She just talked about her family, her so called education and she thinks she is always right..... I was not interested at all. She didn't even go into what I was suppose to do there as a student. She sucks you up in her game. The day I started and the last day I work there, I just did stamping and sending off insurance claims all day long. The current employees there now have gone threw hell and back with this lady. She treats the employees like crap. It's easy money for them because all they do is stamp insurance claims all day long in the back office. There is tons and tons of claims from far back as the late 80's to today. Just be careful for the wait time because your insurance does start charging you as soon as you step your foot in the door and she will keep talking and talking away as the clock is ticking..... I would not even recommend this lady at all as your primary doctor or doing your internship hours for school! Good luck and just please do your homework! read more
