Excellent Doctor

I am a new patient to this clinic and I must say, today on my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised. I refer to being surprised because I’m used to having to wait for a minimum of 45 minute periods to be seen at other doctors offices but I was seen in about 5-10 minutes after I checked in. Then, the receptionist was so friendly and professional. Dr. Steel was amazing!

Great Experience!

Dr Steel is very cautious in treating, wants to know details before just giving another pill, uses latest methods in dealing with patients. Makes sure patients fully understand why he is being given that treatment or would not be given something just because he requested it. He treats his patients with politeness, correctness, weighs risks a against the benefits of a medication before dispensing it out. Is most concerned in the patient's welfare of what will be the most important of style of treatment and if he can supply that, then Dr Steel suggests the most competent other alternative to supply the results required. Since we have transferred to his office our overall health has very much improved. His office is very organized and seldom if ever is a mistake made by an employee. We applaud the whole team of Dr Steel and his personable crew. We have received calls whenever it is necessary and often when they just want to check up on something to verify before just doing it.
