If I could give a negtive, I would do it. He was my father's Doctor a fact I do regret. Dad went to…read morehim for many years and trusted what he said. I took dad to him for his 6 month check up in Aug 2015. Dad a man who did not complain nor ask for pain management. At this visit he did, he was told he was almost 90 and take over the counter medicine, Dr. Stevenson did want him addicted to pills. Dad lived with what he was told. His life was now to sit and watch TV. He was in to much pain to live normally. Jan 2016 we return, the pain had increased left side. Once again his age, go get X Rays. Dad ended up in the ER, .shingles. while testing in the ER they found a mass on his left kidney that now has spread to his spine,etc. Mind you he still has no pain meds from Stevenson. Cancer....Dad passed April 10th 2016. A healthy man who did everything his doctor said. Every 6 months an appointment with blood tests. How did this happen. Tommy my Dad was a vibrant man even at 89 -90. We are left without him...Dr. Stevenson office has never even sent a text of condolence. I won't bore you with all the horror.

I went with my grandpa to his doctors appointment. The doctor was rude and dismissive of grandpas…read morepain. My grandpa told me not to say anything to the doctor about his demeanor and lack of concern because he was afraid he would not see him anymore. He was afraid to be "dropped". Grandpa was 89 and was old school, never challenge a doctor. Grandpa had no cartilage in his knee, very painful for him. Doctor said he didn't need anything for pain because he was too old and he had went "this long". I know the new incentive is to decrease the pain medication prescriptions. But, why would you allow a 89 year old man to suffer with pain. The doctor was callous and rude when he said no to prescribing pain medication. I'll never understand allowing the elderly to suffer.

Good luck, and I hope you have a better experience. I won't be returning, not by choice if I don't…read morehave to.
