I scheduled a procedure with Dr Stephen and I had to wait 3 months to get an appointment. The week before they call me and tell me about a bunch of restrictions which I have to comply with. I can't comply with they so they cancelled my appointment. It's wrong to dent someone medical care because they can't comply with unnecessary restrictions.

I was able to get in to see Dr Stephen immediately after being told I had to wait 1-2 months to see other doctors. The Alexandria office was very welcoming and all of the staff were great. Dr Stephen has a bedside manner that I appreciate, Direct but caring and not condescending like other doctors I have seen. I have already recommended her to my mother and will continue recommend her to others.

I never had a colonoscopy. At 70, my first colonoscopy revealed colon cancer. Due to Dr. Stephen's quick action,the cancer was caught in its early stages ,allowing for effective treatment. Two recommendations. Get a colonoscopy and see Dr. Stephen, a talented and caring professional.
