Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372.

He was very direct. I understood what I needed to do the prescriptions he provided came through. By the time I got back to Sun City they were ready I would've liked him to have had more time because I wanted to ask him a question other then whatever Singapore, route to be enough time to rush off to someone else which I understand

He was very thorough in reviewing my case and past meds to address the symptoms. He explained everything very well, had a great sense of humor and empathy. He instilled a great deal of confidence and actually made the visit "enjoyable" - not something I've ever said before. I appreciated him taking the necessary TIME with me and not feeling like I was being rushed and unheard.

I didn't have to ask for relief medications!! Stearns spotted the discomfort and prescribed accordingly. If I go to the doctor, it's because I do not feel well, it's been a few days, and what I was doing wasn't working. Therefore, I don't want to hear just get rest, take Tylenol and stay hydrated. Then, I find myself requesting certain meds for help. We shouldn't have to do that. SO, BIG THANKS!!!!
