Dr. Stevens and his staff are absolutely the very best in care, concern and explaining what the procedure will entail. I was scared but it was not bad at all. His Ultrasound tech is awesome and the staff is terrific.

Dr. Stevens is very competent. He has treated my venous insufficiency,and has done a fine job. My first treatments were years ago. A milder version of the condition has happened again, through no fault of his but due to aging (and genetics?), and he and his fine staff are once again providing needed help. He is gentle but careful and thorough when he does the procedures treatment. In one review, a patient said that Dr. S has poor communication skills. That's not true. Most of us need to listen a little better to foster better communication. Dr. S always explains my medical situation and answers questions professionally and well. He is also considerate about related, non-medical questions and concerns.

We had a very good experience with Premier Heart Care. I recently went with my dad and we're happy with how well the staff treated us and took care of my dad. When you're in the area and need cardiovascular care, I'm definitely recommending you visit Premier Heart Care for your tests and treatment.

Dr Stevens is a very competent doctor. He is very businesslike, but that is fine with me because what I need from a doctor is skill, attention to detail, and knowledge. I do not need a "caring" doctor. I have friends for that.
