Dr. Stephen Hilty was my doctor before MDVIP and so this switch made a great thing even greater! It is difficult for me to isolate one thing that was a game changer so here are a few. He is just a phone call away when I need him. When I began to experience prostate issues in my early 60s, he paved the way for me to see a top specialist at UC San Francisco. It was very simple, and we got my… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Hilty
Dr, Hilty answers my call at 2:30 am or at 8:00 pm
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Hilty since 2001. When he joined MDVIP several years ago, we had no hesitation to join as he is that GOOD! Dr. Hilty is always up to date on the latest studies and informs us if anything pertains to our health or specific illnesses. He explains things so we can understand and makes sure we have time for questions. We have always been able to contact… See more
I'm one of those folks who, in a nineteenth century novel, would have tragically died at a young age. I had scoliosis as a child that required years in a back brace, had difficulty conceiving and maintaining pregnancies as a young(ish) adult, and was placed on strict bedrest with both of my surviving children.
When I ruptured a disc in my cervical spine in 2003, rather than… See more
Several months ago what started out as an episode of intense abdominal pain that led to gall bladder surgery, extra blood work, MRI, CT scans, endoscopy, tubular stints and a possible diagnosis of pancreatic cancer my physician, Dr. Stephen Hilty greatly assisted in me obtaining these tests, surgeries, and scans in a timely manner. He called me frequently during this time with the results of… See more
There are doctors and then there are doctors. I don’t believe any compare to my Doctor Hilty. He always makes you feel like you are his only care. He is thoughtful and kind and always the cheer leader. I always leave his office with a better mood than I went in with. I will always be thankful for the day I chose him for my doctor
Dr. Hilty is compassionate and knowledgeable. He is available to discuss any of my questions in detail taking as long as needed. He is also willing to considered my preferences while educating me about the advantages and disadvantages of my preferences.
Dr. Hilty is the most present, kind, and competent professional I know. Just a couple of examples:
I was shaken by word from my urologist that I had metastatic prostate cancer. I didn't want to tell my wife, with no one present to help explain or provide some support. Honestly, I needed someone to "hold my hand." So I called and asked Dr. Hilty to call ME and "… See more
No better when or where it is Dr. Steve Hilty is always available to help my family… He goes above and beyond at every level of healthcare. Thank you Steve, you are the best!!!!!!
I have been with Dr. Hilty since before he embraced the MDVIP approach. He was a great physician then, though sometimes seemed a bit frustrated by the limitations he faced in spending the time he believed necessary with each of his patients. I immediately signed up when he began his association with MDVIP. Since that time,Dr. Hilty has made the time. He has "been there," in every… See more
