Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I love Dr Steele. He is very caring and listens to everything you ask about. He is not in the room and out in 5 seconds like many doctors are. He really takes time to get to know the patient and listen.

Follow up visit
Nice professional and courteous staff when you check in. Saw Dr Steele’s PA first and she was pleasant as well and listen thoroughly as I described my symptoms. Dr Steele came in next to review everything and l went over his thoughts and listed my options and what he recommended but left it up to me as to which direction to proceed and what I actually wanted to do out of the options he presented to me. Overall great experience and felt well taken care of, just wished one of my daughters were single…lol

Dr. Steele gave me more information about my problem. He was concise, encouraging and open to questions. My only complaint is that the appointment for a needed procedure is 30 days away.
