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.

- December 15, 2022 Dr. Fleming saw there was a problem with my hand and immediately stated it needed to be fix ASAP (unlike the 1st hand specialist I saw)
- December 14, 2022 I've been coming to Dr. Fleming for the same problem over several years, including his practice prior to joining Wake Forest. I followed him to Wilkesboro because I was so comfortable with his previous treatment of this problem, including one office surgery.
- December 10, 2022 Friendly, listened, feedback
- December 9, 2022 I'm very glad I heard about Dr. Fleming and made an appointment with him. I like all the staff. They are very polite and helpful and easy to work with. Dr. Fleming is very nice and care's about his patients. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He takes his time to explain what is causing the pain in my fingers and what he can do to fix it. I'm having surgery in a few days and I'm actually looking forward to it bc it's very painful and he took his time to explain that after my fingers heal from the surgery that it wouldn't come back in those fingers. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you ???? Happy Holidays!!

- 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 26, 2022 Doctor Fleming has been a very valuable resource for many years, helping me with hand issues and, most recently, gout relief and surgery to repair a broken elbow. I am most grateful to him for helping me.
- 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!

He is the best at what he does and what his specialty is. I will always highly recommend him.
- August 20, 2022 He was very nice. I did not have the successful outcome I was hoping for. Will have to have another procedure to hopefully correct the problem.
- August 17, 2022 Helped to accommodate my needs after such a hassle getting in to be seen for a follow up. Seemed a little annoyed but so was I as the patient who felt like I needed to ask for a lot. In the end, I got what I needed so that??s what matters most.
