    PA Stephens is a wonderful provider-very caring and helpful and compassionate. She also listens well, which not all providers do well. I'm very happy to have been randomly paired with her a few years ago and have stuck with her ever since. I know she has other work she does besides see patients-I wish she were a little more accessible in terms of availability.
