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.

Dr. Stephens and I share a background in research and have excellent rapport. She has been my primary care provider for some years now and she has my complete confidence. We have managed my health together and we openly discuss items of concern as well as sustainable lifestyle changes to improve my health.

Elisabeth has been my Primary Care Provider, going on 20 years! She has always been honest, caring, informative, and joy to be around. I suffer from anxiety, and she always puts me at peace the moment she walks in the room. My wife and I, have followed Dr Stephens from Laurel to Urbana. I will be with her until she hangs up the stethoscope!
