Dr. Stephens is absolutely incredible! He is thorough, knowledgeable, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I have been his patient for a couple of years now. He provided pain relief for my SI joint dysfunction and recently performeShow mored my SI fusion, once the other modalities stopped working. He is now working on decreasing my L4-5 pain, and I am, again, thoroughly impressed. He is mindful, using the less invasive means of pain control, and is all around a top-notch doctor and good human being!
I visited Interventional Pain Center for ongoing pain issues, and my experience was excellent. The staff was welcoming, the check‑in process was smooth, and the providers took the time to listen to my concerns. They explained my tShow morereatment options clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. I left feeling heard and supported, and I’ve noticed real improvement since starting treatment. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate and effective pain management.

Just brushed me off and told me to go to a different doctor within about 5 minutes of him being in the room
Both doctors are fantastic

Dr. Stephens is an excellent pain management physician who can definitely help someone with their condition. I saw him for low back pain and was treated with several injections and an ablation that has helped me tremendously.
I was a little confused about the procedure I’m having and needed more explanation but didn’t feel comfortable when asking for clarification. I felt rushed and I think Dr. Stephens could have slowed down and explained things better.
Nurses are extremely friendly and accommodating. They called me by name and were concerned with my health issues. Dr Stephens is extremely knowledgeable about pain mgnt, what helps, the benefits of each procedure, and the likely outcome. Definitely recommend.
Dr. Stephens is easy to talk to. He stopped my pain. It was easy to get in and out of this office. I feel like the staff kept my appointment times, I did not wait an hour not once. Thank you for helping me!!
Dr Stephens, I highly recommend for his exceptional knowledge and compassion. He gives the details and options I need to hear. I have had several orthopedic and spinal health issues and seen multiple experts and Dr Stephens is by far one of my favorites.
It was a great visit. The staff are nice, polite and knowledgeable. Dr Stevens is great. He was understanding and explained things so I could understand them.

I’ve been seeing Dr Stephens for several years and with my back problems, I would not go any other place. Everyone that works in his office has been absolutely wonderful and works with me as I do not live in the Norman area.

Dr. Stephens and staff are great! Very thorough and friendly, highly recommend!
This is the best most compassionate pain management Doctor I have ever seen! Also, the people working in his office are also the best and nothing like most of those working in other pain management offices that I have been treated Rudley by. Don't waste time looking for a great doctor... he is here in Norman.
Dr. Stephens is clear and honest. Up front he told me the procedure would hurt. He worked quickly and I was done in no time. His staff are great and I don’t think even one of them called me sweetie or dear.
Dr. Stephens is compassionate and honestly cares. His professionalism is comforting when one simply seeks to be relieved of debilitating pain. The staff are wonderful.
