Dr. Stephanie B. Cummings, M.D. 9430 Park West Boulevard, Knoxville, TN 37923

"I cannot speak for Dr. Cummings in a private practice setting, but unfortunately she was the doctor on call the evening I delivered my second child. I have had two unmedicated, uncomplicated deliveries so I don’t expect much from whoever is there to catch my baby. However, as a fellow health care provider myself, I do expect a level of professionalism that Dr. Cummings lacks. As a patient, if you need a little TLC or want autonomy around your delivery, she is not the right fit for you. I was really taken aback by how insensitive she was during such a vulnerable time."

"Stephanie's bedside manor is not always great, we were told our second was passing away which wasn't true or her fault whatsoever it was bad timing but she delivered both my babies perfectly.she not only delivered my 2 children perfectly but her assessment of my daughter was fair given the circumstance and she took great care of of us, my kids are 5 and and 8 and it may have taken lots of time to make this review, but I didn't have time because she helped me deliver 2 beautiful children"

"Dr Cummings was excellent when it came to my hysterectomy. I was confident that I was in the best hands for such a life changing surgery for a woman. I would and do recommend her to every ladies I know. And the staff on the parkwest woman’s floor were also exceptional. Thank you to all that assisted in my care!! Mrs DeLand-Brown"

"Not only was there poor bedside manner displayed by the technician, Dr. Cummings also seemed to push us along and not care about us as clients, only about what she could get out of us. After learning our baby did not have a heartbeat, Dr. Cummings told us our options and sat and stared at us expecting us to make a decision right then, literally within minutes of finding out our baby was gone. She then did not give me more information about passing the baby naturally; she said I would have some cramping and it would be similar to a period. I had absolutely no idea that it would be even possible that I would experience a birth. My water broke and I had contractions for over seven hours until I delivered the baby, so it was a shocking experience to say the least."

"I see by the reviews that Dr Cummings may be good for delivering babies when the time comes but she is NOT a good doctor for the pregnancy. She has TERRIBLE bedside manner. Upon finding that the baby didn’t have a heart beat she did not try to console but factually laid out the options from there. Cold hearted and distant. Not a good choice to have your baby with her."
