Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2024
The staff was very friendly and approachable. Dr. DeStephens was a straight shooter with me and didn't pull any punches when discussing my health. I've got some thick skin, but I could see how that might rub other people the wrong way. Spent a lot of time with me going over my medical history. Overall, I did enjoy my appointment and will be going back.
