Dr. Stelma was a good listener, easy to talk to and had a great disposition. She diagnosed my son's injury, provided us with useful information and she answered all our questions. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her again if needed.

Doctor was great my daughter. Came in examined her and explained she had a fracture which would need a cast to heal. Then she sent in her medical assistant to put the cast on. Medical assistant had very very long nails and fumbled to get the cast on. Medical assistants nails were so long it was unprofessional especially when dealing wirh young children. I am worried the may not have been placed on properly. I will be going to another orthopedics surgeon to have the cast examined. I wish I picked another doctor. She didn't come back to exam the cast once the assistant placed it on.
