July 3, 2019Reana T.Verified patient
I have seen Dr. Stefanides about four times in about as many years. Each time I have walked away feeling that I was in a good place under his care. He listens to you, evaluates and then give his diagnosis and suggests a treatment plan. One of the things I am most appreciative of (besides healing me) is that Dr. Stefanides has never left me feeling like I was just another patient on an assembly line in a patient mill.
I HIGHLY recommend him!
April 2, 2019Scott H.Verified patient
Dr. Stefanides made me feel that I was in safe hands from the time I was admitted by the courteous, professional staff and ready to be operated on. I felt confident that my surgery would have a good outcome and it did; I felt great afterward and was able to walk with the brace the same day.
