Dr. Kenneth Stephens stepped in after my wrist and hand had been terribly abused by a self-proclaimed hand specialist. I always research physicians and my family doctor had suggested this person years ago. The experiences, years apart, were very different!
It is not easy to find a physician willing to step into a case where a patient is unhappy with the care of another local physician. Before Dr. Stephens even agreed to attempt to help me, he sent me to the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Clinic, a highly respected group who work with people from all over, including some of the Olympic athletes. They were wonderful and had great confidence in Dr. Stephens.
Today my dominate hand is so much better I hardly recognize it as the same hand.
Dr. Stephens does not rush into a course of treatment without great thought and what he sees as the expected outcome. Everything he does is well explained in terms you can understand and he always answers questions until you understand everything you are concerned about.
Often he gives the impression of being rushed but I have found he always has time for whatever you need and the needs of family. You never need to worry about having surgery and booted out the door. He takes the time to follow the healing and when he thinks you are alright he always let's you know that you can feel comfortable contacting him if you are concerned about something later on.
You can tell he is respected by the office staff and his peers. They are happy, helpful and hard to find fault with with.
Scheduling an appointment takes some time, however, I have no doubts something time sensitive would be taken care of in a timely fashion. When someone make comments about waiting in any office I just say I knew I would have to wait when I made the appointment but if you want the best you are willing to accept the wait.
I trust having Dr. Stephens treating my hands and up anytime and would feel very comfortable with him taking care of anyone in my family.
You may have noticed I highly recommend him as a very intelligent, easy to interact with, up to date on everything current and willing to consult with others if he sees the need medical professional. I am not an easy person to impress when it come to medicine, am a RN, and research the people I am in trusting my health to.
