I met Mr Stea at his clinic in London (25 Harley Street) in July 2026. I was very nervous when I arrived, but I need not have worried as he put me at ease with his warm and kind nature. Mr Stea was very professional and thorough in my examination, and I felt able to ask him any questions. He told me what the problem was on the first visit, which put an end to my 6 year search for a diagnosis, having seen numerous doctors over the years. I will always be grateful to Mr Stea and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody suffering from jaw problems.
My meeting with Mr Stea was very enjoyable and enlightening. I had been nervous about attending, but he greeted me warmly on arrival, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the meeting, he explained everything clearly, step by step, in a professional but friendly manner. On reaching his diagnosis, he clearly defined the way forward for me. I felt happy, reassured and extremely hopeful after my visit and would not hesitate in recommending this gentleman to anyone.
Dr Stea changed my life. I was unable to work, eat or sleep before he helped me. He is professional, kind, understanding and keen to find a solution. He is an expert in TMJ, gentle when he examines and explanatory in his findings. I had a joint wash out before which didn't help but his did, along with the Botox injection. I can move my neck, I can eat and I no longer get face pain. He is a godsend and I am so glad I found him. His support staff are also incredible. A truly wonderful surgeon and a gentleman
Having undergone orthognathic surgery with Mr Stea, I am very happy with the result, and would not hesitate to recommend him. Having previously had treatments with other specialists, and having been left unhappy with their outcomes, I approached Mr Stea in the hope that he might be able to help – and I am very happy I did! Prior to the surgery, he diligently and clearly explained the procedure to me. He was kind, empathetic, and professional throughout. His communication and attentiveness, both pre- and post-surgery, was exceptional. In contrast to previous experiences with others, he made me feel listened to and, most importantly, in safe hands. All of this combined to give me a very positive experience, and excellent results.
Dr Stefano Stea provided a wonderful patient experience for the TMJ Atherocentesis surgery that I had. From the consultations to the surgery experience at the hospital and the post operative follow up I was looked after very well. Mr Stea is a very reassuring, affable and kind surgeon who was acutely attentive to my symptoms and concerns. I really wish I had pursued treatment for my TMD sooner, as had I known how much attention and care would have been afforded to me and how smoothly the surgery would be conducted, I would not have worried about potential risk for deleterious effects from surgery and post operative pain and scarring of which there has been none. I am very grateful to Mr Stea and have no reservations in recommending anyone with TMD to seek his expertise and care.
What a wonderful experience. After more than 20 years of pain Mr Stea diagnosed the issue immediately. He explained everything clearly in a way that I could understand. The treatment procedure was carried out so professionally and the improvement was immediate. It far surpassed my expectations and has changed my life after being in pain for so long. Thank you so much for your kind care Mr Stea. Highly highly recommended.
A gifted surgeon, an outstanding specialist and a rarely empathetic person. Dr Stea knows how to put a patient at ease from the very start, while giving you a crystal clear view of what is going to happen and how during every step of the operation. He extracted all 4 of my wisdom teeth and in all occasions he got them out super-smoothly, leaving me with a totally painless post-extraction experience. I simply couldn't recommend him highly enough. A 5-star experience, with a smile (and a good laugh, too).
I did a second operation with Dr. Stea, I removed 2 teeth under total seduction. Again he is a really capable dentist and I totally raccomand him. I didn't have any big pain as well in the days after the surgery, thing that instead happened with another dentist.
To remove a tooth with him is hard.. You can't stay still because he makes you laugh too much!! The best dentist in London, everything that is hard he makes it look easy! 5 stars for the Doctor Stea :)
I have known Mr Stea for over 15 years and consider him to be an expert in the management of temporomandibular (jaw joint) problems. He has an holistic approach to management and is sensibly cautious in offering surgical intervention. Because of this approach he gets good surgical outcomes. I would recommend him for the management of TMJ issues.
