I had to wait almost an hour today, patients came in after me was seen before me , everyone apologize

September 8, 2023

Pediatric injury is traumatic for a child and parent, yet excellence in treatment is life-altering. Too often a patient feels like a case number, but this was not our experience with Wellstar Pediatric Orthopedics when my daughter was seen for a displaced fracture of her wrist. Dr. Lindsay Stephenson provided exceptional care, which was a tremendous blessing to my daughter and to me, her mother. I was blown away by her amazing communication, knowledge, and ability. Dr. Stephenson's approach is the perfect balance of personal and professional. She is confident without arrogance. She listens, advises, and establishes rapport. She builds trust and decreases anxiety. We are truly thankful for the treatment we received at Wellstar. Dr. Stephenson is our lifetime favorite physician.

The wait times in the office is absolutely ridiculous! We waited 15 minutes in the waiting room which was fine but, once in the exam room we waited 50min to have anyone come to see us. At 50 minutes they finally came and took my child to be x-rayed then brought back to the room and waited another 15 minutes before the Dr. Even came in to see us. The doctor sat and charted for several minutes before she even laid eyes on my child.

I cannot say thank you enough to the staff at Wellstar Orthopedics at the Paulding office. Becky was so quick to get us in and on the schedule. Misty was wonderful with my 5 year old daughter and so gentle with her. Dr. Stephenson was also very thorough and addressed all of our concerns. We will definitely recommend this office to anyone! :)

Since my daughter is a teenager, Dr. Stephenson talked to her explaining what was currently going on with her ankle and the treatment to help her heal.

February 6, 2023

The office staff was nice and inviting. The provider seemed knowledgeable, however her bedside manner was not warm. Her mannerisms were more of boredom or disinterest in the exam and she answered only what was asked and did not elaborate on any information.

January 20, 2023

Excellent care from the everyone: front desk, nurse, and doctor. I appreciate that they were kind, personable, professional, and patient. I also appreciate that the nurse and front desk were extremely helpful with insurance. My only complaint is that I wanted to ask questions prior to my visit and calling the actual office was impossible. I was routed to the main number, long holds, and no one could help.... on multiple attempts.

January 19, 2023

My daughter had an appointment at this location last week we should up 15min late they told us we had to reschedule so we did. Then got a call from there the next day stating the dr wanted to see my daughter that day. I kept the appointment for today. We got there at 340 her appointment was at 345 we got called back at 405 but not see a Dr til 443. So I had to cancel my appointment bc I was late but it's ok for the offices to make you wait an hour before they see you. I have a problem with that.

The whole staff was amazing! The front desk lady was sweet all the way from check in and check out. Also the whole clinic staff was well educated and extremely kind.

My daughter had an appointment at this location last week we should up 15min late they told us we had to reschedule so we did. Then got a call from there the next day stating the dr wanted to see my daughter that day. I kept the appointment for today. We got there at 340 her appointment was at 345 we got called back at 405 but not see a Dr til 443. So I had to cancel my appointment bc I was late but it's ok for the offices to make you wait an hour before they see you. I have a problem with that.

Excellent care from the everyone: front desk, nurse, and doctor. I appreciate that they were kind, personable, professional, and patient. I also appreciate that the nurse and front desk were extremely helpful with insurance. My only complaint is that I wanted to ask questions prior to my visit and calling the actual office was impossible. I was routed to the main number, long holds, and no one could help.... on multiple attempts.

The office staff was nice and inviting. The provider seemed knowledgeable, however her bedside manner was not warm. Her mannerisms were more of boredom or disinterest in the exam and she answered only what was asked and did not elaborate on any information.

Since my daughter is a teenager, Dr. Stephenson talked to her explaining what was currently going on with her ankle and the treatment to help her heal.

I cannot say thank you enough to the staff at Wellstar Orthopedics at the Paulding office. Becky was so quick to get us in and on the schedule. Misty was wonderful with my 5 year old daughter and so gentle with her. Dr. Stephenson was also very thorough and addressed all of our concerns. We will definitely recommend this office to anyone! :)

The wait times in the office is absolutely ridiculous! We waited 15 minutes in the waiting room which was fine but, once in the exam room we waited 50min to have anyone come to see us. At 50 minutes they finally came and took my child to be x-rayed then brought back to the room and waited another 15 minutes before the Dr. Even came in to see us. The doctor sat and charted for several minutes before she even laid eyes on my child.

The wait time was atrocious, especially with a special needs toddler. The provider didn't even touch my child or examine, after waiting to see her for 45 minutes.

Pediatric injury is traumatic for a child and parent, yet excellence in treatment is life-altering. Too often a patient feels like a case number, but this was not our experience with Wellstar Pediatric Orthopedics when my daughter was seen for a displaced fracture of her wrist. Dr. Lindsay Stephenson provided exceptional care, which was a tremendous blessing to my daughter and to me, her mother. I was blown away by her amazing communication, knowledge, and ability. Dr. Stephenson's approach is the perfect balance of personal and professional. She is confident without arrogance. She listens, advises, and establishes rapport. She builds trust and decreases anxiety. We are truly thankful for the treatment we received at Wellstar. Dr. Stephenson is our lifetime favorite physician.

Fueling Up for Sports this School Year

Wellstar knows that the beginning of the school year is often accompanied by getting back to extracurricular activities. With the return to the classroom and competition arenas, we know parents, coaches and teachers alike are concerned that their student athletes are fueling their bodies and brains for optimal performance.  

Wellstar Pediatric Orthopedics recommends getting the correct amount of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, iron, calcium and vitamin D, as well as fluids. Dietary supplements are not needed for youth athletes unless recommended by a healthcare provider. It is more important to meet the body’s caloric needs.

For hydration, it’s recommended that student athletes consume up to 20 ounces of fluid one hour before an activity and 5 ounces every 15 minutes during the activity.

“Proper nutrition and hydration are critical for all students, but particularly for athletes who are more active and burning more calories,” said Dr. Lindsay Stephenson, Wellstar pediatric orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. “I recommend using the nutritional guide released by the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America. This information makes it easier for students and their parents to understand the nutritional needs of the body to perform in the classroom and during competition.”

Access the recommended nutritional guide.
