I guess I expected better bed side manner. and he didn't know I didn't know I didn't have any previous tests. it was like he assumed other tests had been taken. almost felt like he wasn't sure about me. he then scheduled a bone scan and a CT scan
UofU Patient
February 22, 2014
we drove 400 miles to spend 5 minutes with the doctor to be told we have to come back for surgery ...something that could have been handled over the phone !
UofU Patient
February 21, 2014
I WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL WITH THE FACT THAT MY WIFE AND I MADE A 10 HOUR ROUND TRIP TO SEE THE DOCTOR FOR LESS THAT 15 MINUTES, WHEN THE SAME INFORMATION COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN ME OVER THE PHONE, AND SAVED ME A HUGE EXPENSE.....I TRAVELED 563 MILES, HAD A HOTEL AND FOOD BILL, AND OTHER EXPENSES THAT WERE NOT NECESSARY.....THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED, WHICH WAS THAT I COULD NOT START MY "BCG" TREATEMENTS FOR 5 OR 6 WEEKS, IN MY MIND, SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH A SIMPLE 15 MINUTE PHONE CALL.......OTHER THAN THAT, I AM QUITE SATISFIED...

the Dr was excellent and inspired confidence when I finally got to talk.
UofU Patient
November 11, 2013
I am reluctant to recommend providers, knowing so little about the specific needs of a patient and the match with the specific skills of the provider. So with me, "good" is as good as it gets on item 10.

Super!

UofU Patient
July 22, 2013
Dr. Stevenson saved my life! I can't thank him enough.

UofU Patient

Would like to here more about clear side effect %s with my MD's surgeries. Would like to here more about MRI analysis. Would like to here more about other treatment besides surgery.
UofU Patient
July 03, 2013
Dr. Stephenson is outstanding, not only was he professional, his concern and compassion for me and my situation was appreciated. He answered all of my questions, did not rush me, he made me feel that my situation, and me personally, were important to him. I don't remember the name of his PA, but the same comments about Dr. Stephenson apply to him. I don't know if they realize how much their caring attitude means to patients, especially when facing the health issues which bring them to the Huntsman.
UofU Patient

I have been a patient at Huntsman Cancer Center for over ten years. I couldn't be more pleased than I am for the excellent treatment I have received. I feel very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Robert Stephenson and his great staff.

UofU Patient

All of the people I had contact with were great.
UofU Patient
March 31, 2013
The services received and time spent could not have better. Huntsman is a very professional institute. I'm pleased. Dr. Stephenson said I would be taken care and he was really talking to me, not at me, or around me. Thank-you all.
UofU Patient
March 29, 2013
Dr.Stevenson is the best Dr. Stevenson is the best! !
UofU Patient
March 26, 2013
We were "squeezed in" so the doctor was very busy already, accounting for not getting full information about the "mass" found or what to expect.
UofU Patient
March 15, 2013
Currently I have been waiting for 1 week for prior authorization for a perscription that Dr. Stephenson gave and I am getting alot of run around from the pre-auth person. The nurse in Dr.Stevenson's office Racheal has been great.
UofU Patient
March 07, 2013

I've always felt as if I were the most important patient.
UofU Patient
February 18, 2013
Would have like to talk to Doc. after the surgery but realize how busy he is and understand why he did not come by.
UofU Patient
February 12, 2013
I can't praise Dr. Stephenson enough. I feel that I am in the best hands possible. Because of his taking the extra time to talk about how nutrition can affect health I have made significant changes in my diet. He is patient, concerned, and has a way of explaining things in a way I can understand. I feel most grateful to have the HCI as a resource and Dr. Stephenson as a physician.
UofU Patient
February 05, 2013
Doctor Stephenson is perhaps the best physician I have ever been treated by in terms of his manner, demeanor, and the confidence he inspires.
UofU Patient
February 04, 2013
I didn't feel like the doctor was rushing me. He took time with me and explained in detail options and procedures. He answered all my questions

UofU Patient
December 24, 2012
it is always a pleasure to deal with HCH
UofU Patient
December 22, 2012
I was comfortable with each person I saw and everyone gave me more confidence than I had when I first came to the clinic.
UofU Patient
December 18, 2012
Could not have had a better experience
UofU Patient
December 11, 2012
OK, so they's all "5's", but when you're with Dr. Stephenson it's as if you're his only patient. He is a credit to his profession, and to the Huntsman Institute.
UofU Patient
December 11, 2012
Dr. Stephenson's explanation of how surgery would proceed was very clear. He explained I will probably need to do followup radiation and he gave me hope associated with the loss of control issue. I felt much better after talking to Dr. Stephenson than I did in my conversations with the two doctors I saw outside of the Huntsman Hospital.
UofU Patient
December 10, 2012
Always concerned and helpful.
UofU Patient
December 03, 2012
I say several Doctors and staff over three days and two producers . This is my overall view. All are the best there is.

UofU Patient
November 07, 2012
Outstanding medical professional
UofU Patient
November 05, 2012
I'm not in the habit of handing out "all 5's" so these ratings are genuine, heartfelt, and much appreciated. I have never been treated by any health care professional with as much genuine concern and respect for my feelings and my dignity.
UofU Patient
October 29, 2012
I always recommend the Huntsman Center
UofU Patient
October 23, 2012
Even though the appointment was at the end of the day we did not feel rushed by anyone and everyone seemed very vested in us and my issues.
UofU Patient
October 15, 2012
Always a pleasure to talk to Dr Stephenson
UofU Patient
October 15, 2012
I am running out of superlatives to describe my experience. It was very good.
UofU Patient
October 15, 2012
Enjoyed the interaction with staff and Dr.
UofU Patient
September 24, 2012
Everything went very well. All gave a feeling of competence.
UofU Patient
September 04, 2012
Dr. Stephenson was great. His expertise has allowed me to have a normal life, when many men facing the prostate cancer have side effects that are difficult for a man to endure, loss of control, impotence, ect. His concern for my quality of life after surgery is much appreciated. I did not grasp the effects that surgery may cause & what many men are faced with prostate cancer. He can almost walk on water in my book. thank you is no where close to how I really feel towards Dr. Stephenson & the Huntsman clinic.
UofU Patient
September 03, 2012
Always excellent. The personal attention is wonderful.
UofU Patient

UofU Patient
May 10, 2012
Dr. S was terrific as usual. The new nurse practitioner, a lady, seemed to suggest a sling for me yet, clearly it is too early to suggest that procedure. For some reason, I was intimidated and not trusting of her.
UofU Patient
May 10, 2012
Unfortunately we were not well prepared for the urinary complications that could/did occur as a result of the surgery.
UofU Patient

Outstanding care giver , very caring and informative
UofU Patient
May 02, 2012
All my expereiences with the hospital and personnel have been excellent.
UofU Patient
April 28, 2012
Dr. Stephenson is the best. A great doctor and a real person to share concerns with.
UofU Patient
April 11, 2012
He is a good doctor and I have confidence in him, but the inconvenience of waiting so long (pretty much every visit is like this!) may cause me to seek care elsewhere.
UofU Patient
April 07, 2012
excellent in all cases
UofU Patient
March 31, 2012
In all the care we have received during the long duration of my husband's problems, Dr. Stephenson is the finest doctor and person we have ever had the privilege of meeting.

We had an appt. right after Christmas to find out if they were able to get all the cancer, but 3 days BEFORE Christmas, they called to let us know, THE DR. WAS ABLE TO GET ALL THE CANCER. It turned out to be the most blessed Christmas we have ever had. Thanks to that phone call that didn't need to be made.
UofU Patient
January 04, 2012
I have complete confidence in all the staff.
UofU Patient
January 04, 2012
Dr. Stephenson and his assistant spent a great deal of time with me and addressed all of my concerns and questions. I felt that they would have stayed with me all day if that's what it took to answer my questions.
