"My husband and I both go to Dr. DeStephens. We are fortunate to have found a doctor who thinks outside the box. He has helped both of us resolve issues other doctors neglected to address. His assistants are courteous and competent. He helps patients who are interested in anti-ageing therapies. I wish I would have found him years ago. "

"Without a doubt the most insensitive and worst practicing physician I have seen. Refuses to make eye contact with patients. Had a 2 hour long appointment, saw him for a maximum of 45 minutes. During that time I was only able to say a maximum of 15 words. The other 44 and a half minutes were spent listening to him ramble on about how he is the only physician in the area who would help me. How my mental disorder is something that “good people won’t tolerate and you’ll be left only with people who have no option but to tolerate it, and you don’t want people like that in your life” (an actual quote). However then he says my mental disorder is something that is an advantage because I can harness it for this, like it’s some sort of personality trait. I almost left at many points, and I wish I had. He then gave me homework to go watch a cable weight loss show and write down the stories and tips. Apparently cable doctors know what they are talking about with weight loss. Will not go back ever!"
