Provider Explained Things ClearlyProvider Listened CarefullyProvider Was Easy To UnderstandProvider Knew Medical HistoryProvider Showed RespectProvider Spent Enough TimeRate Your Provider 0-10267 Reviews, 66 Comments4/25/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientI was and am gravely disappointed with the care I received from provider, Stephanie Dieffenthaller. I feel that she did not understand the extent of my pain, the reason for my visit. I asked for two different medications of which I know would work based on prior experience and she refused. I am not an addict but that is how I felt I was treated. It wasnt until I expressed the pain was severe enough that I considered harming myself did she than look in the computer for medications for me. I was prescribed an Nsaid when I requested opioids as I already have IBD. Further she was going to prescribe me 200mg which I had previously tried of this med in the past to no avail and I had to ask her for a higher dose letting her know the lower dose would do nothing for my pain. I was than given two referrals, not noticing until I got home that there was no doctor or office name nor telephone number to contact. So Im not sure what the purpose of that was, but only further made me realize how poor of a provider she is. Further, I emailed the office a week ago regarding medication side effects as well as left two messages and have not heard from anyone.4/23/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientIt was a great experience and Stefanie was very caring and professional.4/4/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientIt was a good visit with PA3/28/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientWas diagnosed with osteoporosis and the only treatment recommended was a prescription until I asked about alternatives and then was told that I could see a specialist.2/16/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientStephanie was thorough and listened to my concerns.
