Patients consistently express admiration for Dr. Stephen Daniel Lockey's exceptional communication skills, bedside manner, and dedication to patient care. They note his ability to listen, explain medical conditions clearly, and offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

Dr. Lockey has unbelievably good listening skills and ability to explain things to his patients. He is caring, encouraging and values a patient's time as well as their feelings. I am grateful there are still doctors who love people and practicing medicine more than simply scheduling surgeries. Dr Lockey is a gift to UVA Health!
