Donald Stephens, MD

I was referred to Dr. Stephens. In total, I waited an 1 1/2 hours PAST my appt time. After speaking with regular patients, this does not seem to be unusual. One individual said she waits 1 to 2 hours each time she comes in but she lives close and retired. A man who was there with a patient said he use to go there but one time waiting from noon until 5pm. I experienced going from the main waiting to an exam room, then to a back waiting area, then another exam room. I was already stressed about my eye condition, and knowing I had to get home to an elderly family member who cannot be left alone. Hearing how the doctor went to lunch really upset me since I had been waiting an hour and a half already. When he finally came in the room, he seemed to rush, his tone condescending when asked questions, and was done less than 5 minutes. Not impressed and would not recommend. I followed up with a different eye doctor who found no indication of the diagnosis Dr. Stephens gave me. Not surprised considering how rushed he was. Wish I could get my money back and save my insurance from having to process this wasted trip.

I woke Thursday morning with a detached retina. Friday evening my eye dr sent me to Novis and Dr Stephens. Saturday morning I was under the knife to save my vision. Saturday afternoon I was home recovering. Monday had to have a few bubbles put in my eye to stint my retina. Tuesday after bubbles in the right place. Spent the next 8 days on my left side Dr Stephens and his fellow were the best.

Saw Dr Stephens for leaking retina due to diabetes. Very easy to talk to and thorough. Gave options.
