I always feel "in good hands" with Doctor Stephan.
I have been under Dr. Stephan's care since 2013. He initially diagnosed the need for my aorta valve replacement. Over that time his care and approach to my health has been excellent.
Only have seen Dr. Stephan twice since Dr. T_____ left. He is very easy to talk to and does answer all my questions & concerns.
Dr. Stephan offered to check on my mom who was in the hospital for COVID-19. He goes above and beyond! When my wife had a heart attack - He came down and did the procedure at a minutes notice!
He is excellent.
Very will handled by this Provider and all supporting staff. Many thanks to all!
Dr. Stephan was very informative, pleasant and demonstrated personal intrerest.
Very easy to speak with and addressed concerns effectively.
great talk
Excellent visit. Had to wait 6 months for the appointment but he is worth it.
Dr. Stephan is an excellent doctor who has empathy and compassion for his patients, and listens to what you are saying. He needs a break & there should be more drs. in this practice to help.
he is the best!
great dr have recommend him to family and friends
My experience with Dr. Stephan was outstanding as usual. My experience with all the providers at this practice over the last 25 years has been great. (Dr. X, Dr. X, Dr. X and all of their supporting staff) Dr. Stephan is willing to listen to me and always provides meaningful, understandable feedback.
Pleasant & helpful.
Very good experience - pleasant & helpful.
Due to COVID-19, this was a telephone visit. I only see Dr. Stephan yearly, and was happy to speak with him.
This was a telephone visit due to corona virus. It was good considering that limitation.
We communicated by phone because of the social distancing requirement. Dr. Stephan had all my records and we talked about everything we needed to. Staff who set up the meeting were helpful and kind. Though we miss seeing Dr. Stephan, it was a good experience
It's always enjoyable talking with him. He's one of my favorite doctors.
Dr. Stephen is a wonderful dr. my visit was a follow up from an angiogram I had last summer before a knee replacement. I had 3 stents 17 yrs. ago.
God experience.
My first Telemed appointment but fortunately it went well. Unfortunately I have to change to another cardiologist because Dr. Stephan's practice is too far from my home, so this was a very sad day for me.
I have felt a change in the office environment since the "take over" and it's heartbreaking to see staff so unhappy.
The office visit was a phone visit. Due to COVID 19 pandemic. Everything was good. We did talk about exercise and weight.
Have worked with William Stephan for 15 years and think that he is caring and competent.
Great Experience
Very good first time talking with! Knew our history!
very good! Felt that he was well aware of our conditions.
My appointment 3/24/2020. I had a unique experience. My doctor visit was a private phone call with his nurse and the doctor. It went very well and we covered all areas.
Very good experience.
Telephone visit not as comprehensive as in person.
Dr. Stephan are the best doctors I have ever had! I can't say enough good things about them and their entire teams! I owe my life to them!
Both Stephan and X are fantastic, they talk to you and always are listening to you!Both Stephan and Foy are truly professional and have a bedside manor that is unique and personal!'tThank you !!!!
Because of the pandemic, we had a telephone conference. Dr. Stephan is very thorough and answers all of my questions. He always listens, which is very important.
This was my first visit, outside of the hospital, with Dr Stephan. It was a phone visit. due to Covid19. He was very easy to talk to and seemed to care a lot about me. In these unusual circumstances, it was a very positive experience.
Great doctor and staff!
Dr. Stephan always takes time to listen to me and addresses my concerns.
Dr. Stephan, has been our doctor for almost 15 yrs. He and his staff excellent always makes us feel very good until the next time we see him.
Dr Stephan was thorough and answered my questions. We are thankful for his follow-up in this trying time. My appt was done through telecall due to Covid 19.
Always a good experience with Dr Stephan
Good
All my experiences with Dr. Stephan have been good/excellent - In contract w/husband's frequent procedure/care from Dr. Goodwin who is technically superb but as advisor unavailable - Resulting in no regular overview or dx evaluation.
Dr. Stefan has always been very professional and pleasant whether it be office visits or treatments.
All good - very satisfied.
Dr Stephan goes over everything important and explains any issues in a way that is comprehensible.
Good experience definitely - always encouraging.
I see Dr Stephan once a year. I always have a wonderful experience. I have been seeing him for 16 years.
Dr. Stephan is always kind and generous with his time. He definitely is thorough in his visit...and puts your stress at ease. I truly trust him with my "heart."
always very pleasant and reassuring that everything is ok.
always a good experience
I had a very good experience with Dr. Stephan. He questioned my health routine and if I had any problems or questions. Told him I felt fine. He told me my vital signs and to continue what I had been doing. Revisit in 6 months.
I have seen this provide for at least 20 years with always great service.
Each visit is always a GREAT experience!
Dr. Stephan is an excellent physician who takes time to ask questions and give assessment of my heart as well as telling me what my overall health is at this time. He reviews with me what is in my medical history and provides what my annual physical is saying to him.
I'm very please with the care I received!
I feel Dr. Stephan is an outstanding doctor. He is very knowledgeable of my health history and is truly concerned about my well being. I find him to be very polite, attentive, and very easy to talk to as regarding any health issues I am dealing with at this time. A++++ in my opinion.
Dr. Stephan is great!!
Dr. Stephen is an EXCELLENT/OUTSTANDING DOCTOR!! VERY CARING!!
ALL DOCTORS ON MY HEALTH CARE TEAM ARE EXCELLENT!!
First visit. Very easy to talk with. Dr. X left Naperville & I chose this physician to replace him.
I feel this is an excellent provider.
fantastic provider been seeing him for years
difficult to get a timely appointment, should there be a cap on new patients ? The provider is booked more than 6 months out ! that's ridiculous, with the hope that some patients will see a specialized PA
Always a pleasure conversing with dr Stephan. Will see him again next year.
Bill was awesome, explained things so I understand. Would recommend him and will be back!
Dr. Stephan is awesome!!
1st time meeting this cardiologist. He was a very nice doctor who had all my health info and was just great. look forward to him being my new cardiologist.
wasn't sure how everything would go after my regular cardiologist retired but I was pleasantly happy.
I was treated with respect. My visit was speedy and pleasant.
My experience was very good.
Always good visits.
Dr. Stephan's nurse (male) was in a hurry & did not refill my Rx's.
Dr. Stephan is "great." All doctors should be like him.
Overall it was a good experience (time will tell).
I love dr bill stephan. he has saved my life at least twice.
Excellent dr..
My visits with Dr. Stephan are always pleasant and informative.
As always good.
Wonderful, knowledgeable doctor & staff. Listen, respectful, patient, helpful, caring.
Regular annual check-up to review a heart condition that could potentially require some level of surgery. Dr. Stephan review's a yearly Echo to determine if the heart is stable. Reassuring to have this support and checking to find a health issue before it gets serious. I am fairly active physically and it is good to know I can continue to be with low risk
Great at listening to patients based on my personal observation and what I have heard from other patients
He is the best!
Excellent doctor
Very pleasant, great job.
Dr. Stephan provides care with professionalism, yet with the utmost in caring. I never doubt that he is focused on me during my appointments and that he has my well being in mind. He is by far the best physician, specialist or general practitioner, that I have ever had.
Always excellent
Great doctor.
Great advice.
The doctor is known to me from 2006 - I find him a best provider about me. He is excellent MD. Always he welcome with smiling face & respect. A wonderful person.
He is so AWESOME DOCTOR.
I will continue to drive a longer distance to maintain my care with Dr. Stephan. His care and concern along with his expertise is unsurpassed.
Dr. Stephan is an excellent cardiologist and has great compassion for his patients.
Very good experience.
Dr. Stephan is one of the finest physicians whom I have ever had the pleasure to meet and I have met many. Had uncles who were doctors. Worked for doctors. Dr. Stephan is a brilliant physician and a compassionate one.
Always (for years now) an excellent experience.
Dr.Stephan is the greatest-knowledgeable and caring
Dr. Stephan is an amazing doc. Personable and professional. One of the best I've ever had.
Dr.Stephan is an outstanding physician who has cared for me for nearly 10 years since my unexpected CABG. Very pleased to have him.
Yearly checkup and as always Dr Stephan is very professional, personable, discusses all concerns I have and is very caring human being
