Dr. Stephen is a top-ranked internist in practice with Macomb Physicians Group, a medical practice in Sterling Heights, Michigan. His life journey has nurtured his faith, knowledge, and interpersonal skills, and in return, has enabled him to become a competent & compassionate physician. 

His life experience has inspired him to realize that the human spirit can endure. He finds the proposition that the satisfaction of practicing medicine comes not only from fighting against disease but also from having helped that patient to live a better, healthier, more productive, and fruitful life. He genuinely believes that when one has a commitment to others and when one’s work comforts and heals others, meaning in life is found. As such, at the center of everything he does, is the patient and his or her family.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.
