Testimonials from patients of Dr. Hilty
Because we are Dr. Hilty’s patients we have the comfort of knowing he is only a phone call away when we are out and about on the road with our RV. That is such a great feeling. Never have I called without getting a reply or answer to my concern right away. His office is alway so helpful and kind..........Never have had such freedom to call my doctor.....The Sunday morning I woke up to having… See more
Dr. Hilty was amazing in getting me through a cancer diagnosis, extra consultation, and effective treatment. He even plotted with me to call me at home after I knew, to request that my wife come in with me, so he could help me tell her what was going on. Continuing his support and availability, he always calls the next day after any lab or other procedure. What a great doctor!
Our eye doctor was planing eye surgery and asked my wife to see our doctor Dr Hilty. , She went in for the exam where he heard a murmur. He then sent her to a cardiologist, who said it was too much to be handled locally.All of this was during the Christmas season. We went to UCLA where the surgeon moved cases and scheduled surgery. After eleven hours on the table she sported a new aorta… See more
When my local urologist recommended an MRI to check up on my 66 year old prostate, the results indicated a problem area and he recommended another biopsy. Jeesh! I'd rather have oral surgery! Ha!.
When my Doctor Stephen Hilty, got the results he called me immediately and my wife and I talked over the options with him. He had a 2nd opinion set up for me within days with world… See more
My significant other and I were on a cruise that began in Spain when I had the most awful pain in my lower side/back that kept me awake all night. My S.O. suggested I call Dr. Hilty. I was reluctant, given the circumstances and it would mean calling him at home on a Sunday night about 9:00pm. But I made the call and he said it sounded like a kidney stone. I went to the infirmary as soon as… See more
When my husband and I first met doctor Stan, that's the Man Doctor Reichenberg we were sitting in the exam room waiting for him to got some paperwork. Stan looked at me and said, Do you think he is old enough to drive a car? we laughed and laughed and after that visit that he was our boy. We soon learned that he was a a very fine diagnostician, smart as #$&, kind and would be a… See more
Dr. Hilty is amazing. He's the BEST primary doctor my husband and I have ever had. He's brilliant and very informed. If you have any medical issue he makes sure to explain what is going on. Plus, he's so kind, nurturing, thorough, dedicated and very authentic.It's so comforting to know you can call and talk to him anytime. He's always available and so generous with his… See more
Dr. Hilty's medical knowledge, diagnostic acumen, and bedside manner are superlative. With an emphasis on preventive medicine and health living, we couldn't be more satisfied.
Weight, diet, and exercise relevant to our limitation are among the issues he emphasizes and encourages (much like a coach). As a result, we are indeed healthier and have full, rich lives free of… See more
