Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

He is always very personable, friendly and very professional to his patients. I have been to see him probably 5 or 6 times since he joined atrium health, a 45 minute drive one way for me but well worth my trip to come to Dr. Fleming!

- November 26, 2022 I think Dr. Fleming is the best I've ever saw. He's sharp, You not going to get anything by him, lol. I felt i should have had a few more pain pills, maybe another week to 10 days, I did suffer for about 10 days. The pain was ****. Of course I had both broken arms and several ribs. I realize the opaloid addiction problem,and laws. I think the government and the insurance companies need to stay out of my healthcare. Me and Dr. Fleming should be able to take care of that. I surly wouldn't want to be addicted just because I fell. I was hurt worse than even I thought. It was like being in a Train Wreck. I had doubts about surviving.

- November 23, 2022 He is very helpful and understanding.
- November 18, 2022 There aren't many doctors I would drive forty or more miles to for an appointment. In fact, at this moment, Stephen Fleming is the only one I can think of!
