Ms. Marcella Stephens is a wonderful breast health care practitioner. She is generous in sharing her hard-earned knowledge, is sincerely concerned with my well-being, encouraging of my efforts to be a responsible and active participant in trying for a long and healthy life. Even with all of her obviously full case load, I would bet that each patient of hers is treated, as I am, as though they are the most important person on her radar in any given appointment day, and I am grateful.

Marcellia Stephens first asked me questions to gauge my knowledge and feelings about the circumstances leading up to the consultation. She listened attentively to my questions and concerns. When she answered questions or made recommendations, she spoke in a measured way to ensure I was able to understand and process the information she shared. I never felt as though she was talking down to me; rather, I found her delivery calming and reassuring.

Marcellia is professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. My previous specialist rudely implied that I was imagining a problem and Marcellia explained to me what the problem is and that it needed to be thoroughly checked out. I appreciate her support and care. I have never had such a wonderful specialist in this field and am thankful that I am seeing her.

It is a privilege to receive care from Marcellia Stephens. She is the best NP I've ever had. She has a very calming presence. I am under her care for breast cancer survivorship and there is always anxiety for me around my appointments. She makes me feel seen and heard.
