Ricky Stevens, MD

Dr. Stevens has served the Cordele community for more than 20 years. A small‑town native, he chose to build both his medical career and his family life right here at home. He met his wife in medical school, and together they’ve raised their five children in the community they love.

Dr. Stevens enjoys all aspects of adult medicine, with special interests in diagnosis, community health, and performing EGD and colonoscopy procedures. He has a heart for international medical missions and, when he’s not in the office, you’ll most likely find him outdoors—often with a fishing rod in hand.
