    Dr. Stiffens is by far the best doctor I have ever gone too. I was done with doctors and my wife said just one more- and I have felt better than I have in 12 years because he cared enough to listen, think outside the box and care. Forever grateful for this man

    I have been a patient of Dr Steffens for over 20 yrs. I know he must have a very busy schedule, but he always takes the extra time to make me feel seen and heard. I have never felt rushed or invalidated. I consider him my friend and advocate.
