About Ms. Stephanopoulos
Irene Stephanopoulos, FNP-BC, MSN, BSN, received her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Pennsylvania State University, with a rotation at Hershey Medical Center Hershey, PA. She received her MSN/Nurse Practitioner degree from Malone University in Canton, OH. For 15 years, she practiced intensive care nursing for the Ohio-based Mercy Healthcare system, before moving to Atlanta and joining Emory Healthcare in 2018.
She treats patients, male and female, from age 12 and up, focusing on preventive care and chronic disease treatment, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She has a special interest in adolescent and women’s health as well as mental health.
A nurse’s holistic perspective
As a nurse practitioner, Ms. Stephanopoulos provides services similar to a physician, including medical consultations, ordering diagnostic tests and prescribing treatments, including medications. She brings a nurse’s holistic perspective and empathy to her patient care, she explains. In addition to English, she is conversant in Greek, which may help some patients.
“As a nurse, I spend a little more time getting to know my patients,” she says. “Mine is a holistic approach, looking at the whole person, not just the symptoms or the disease. You might say, ‘I feel low energy, check my thyroid,’ but I will take it a step further, to find out what’s driving this concern.” She might ask about depression, stress, diet and exercise. “I also ask ‘Who do you live with,’ as that can tell quite a lot in understanding the full picture of this patient,” she says.
Building a trusting relationship
Her relationship with patients is a high priority, says Ms. Stephanopoulos. “I work on building a trusting relationship. When I walk into the room, I talk to the patient right away; I don’t go to the computer. I want to know their thoughts, their feelings. I make them feel comfortable so we can have an open discussion, professional but friendly.”
Giving undivided attention
She sincerely cares about patients and will give each her undivided attention. “I want them to confide in me, to know I’m looking out for their best interests,” she says. “After meeting me, they will feel reassured that I’m listening and that I understand. I have broad knowledge and experience in medicine and can relate to their concerns and the specialists they are seeing.”
Ms. Stephanopoulos also has a background in home care and knows exactly what patients will need in making a smooth transition. “I’ve got the nurse’s perspective on all aspects of medicine, and that’s a major benefit I bring my patients. Whatever they need to talk about, I’ve been there, done that. I’m happy to help them with it.”

Irene Stephanopolus, NP, is an excellent care provider. She communicates very well, she listens. She helps. It is the nursing staff that is lacking in this practice and always has been an issue for years. They do not make you feel welcome and talk like they are reciting rules they have been told to say and zero sympathy if you don't like what they have told you or you were not informed of anything!
Irene, is excellent! She is the best, most caring, personable medical provider I have ever had. The very best, completely!
NP Stephanopoulos is always very thorough, patient, and professional. While she is very efficient, she always takes the time to treat me as a person, and never seems to rush through my exam.

Wonderful experience!
I am totally happy with Dr. Stephanopoulos.
I would be at a 5 on recommending her to people but that includes recommending Emory Healthcare overall and I can't do that in good conscience.
NP gave a thorough explain of test results; answered all questions thoroughly
Irene S. Is very good and thorough .My disappointment at this visit in Tucker was with the unfriendly attitude of the nurse and receptionist (who did warm up after I made an effort to be pleasant, but is that meant to be the patient's job?). Not a good first impression at all
Stephanopoulos is very attentive. She listens and addresses patient questions thoroughly and explains next steps.
I always tell family and friend to go to her...
Irene Stephanopoulos is the best. She looked over every item of my care from my weight concerns, my foot pain problem. She has directed me to those who solved my issues. I would recommend her highly and follow her wherever she goes. I'm confident in her abilities.
Continues to make me comfortable. Continues to show great concern. Knowledge, honesty and care.
Irene Stephanopolis is very well informed in broad area of medical concerns. Her instincts are on target
I have recommended her to my granddaughter.
