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.
Patient Comments
- December 1, 2022 Dr Fleming has my total confidence as one of the best hand surgeons.
- December 1, 2022 Dr Fleming was very personable. He explained everything in detail. He expressed concern for my immediate health and offered alternative solutions.
- November 29, 2022 Very personal easy to talk to liked his bedside manner
- November 28, 2022 He was efficient, caring and knowledgeable. He listed to my concerns and he helped without unnecessary testing. He was mindful and present during my visit and I am very grateful for his care. I will be back with future issues.
- 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!

I worked for him many years ago in a different medical office and I never one time ever saw him get frustrated or loose his temper about anything no matter how busy he was or how behind he might have gotten, he was always the same temperament… which was caring and compassionate. 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.
