I have been surrounded by doctors my entire life. My father is a doctor, as were his father and older brother before him. My wife is a doctor. My sister-in-law is a doctor. A few of my cousins are doctors, and my brother-in-law is in medical school. It is not much of an exaggeration to claim that regardless of specialty, my family has it covered.
Growing up in such an environment, I was fortunate enough to never lack for immediate and attentive medical care. Be it sutures or facial cream, I usually had my “cure” within a couple of hours. Which is why in medical school, it came as a surprise to me that not everyone shared my idealized version of the medical field. From classmates and patients alike, I heard horror stories of having to wait months for an appointment, of never seeing the same physician twice, and of never being able to reach their physician when necessary. I quickly realized that most people carried a much harsher perspective towards medicine in general, and towards doctors in particular.
At Advocare Stoll Medical Group, we resolve to change that. We firmly believe that everyone should have access to personal, attentive care, regardless of connections. We feel that an available doctor, is a good doctor.
I consider myself fortunate to come from a family of physicians, with all the medical connections that provided. But, by joining the Advocare Stoll Medical Group family, you get that and more; and you don’t have to sit through my long family dinners either.
Sincerely,
Steven Stoll, MD
