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.

Annual Physical
Dr Steele was very professional while giving me my annual physical. I was asked to come in 1/2 hour earlier than scheduled which I did. I ended up waiting 1/2 hour to see the doctor

Have been with Dr Steel for approximately 7 years. I find him to be very professional and easy to talk to. Knows his stuff and has excellent contacts when referring to other doctors for specialized care. Excellent communicator with what I call excellent bedside manner.

Dr Steele has helped me lower my blood pressure. Blood pressure is very good now. I am working to lower my cholesterol level. After todays visit my level was a little lower. But, I feel by next visit in 3 months it will get much lower. Here’s how… I love to drink whole milk. So instead Switching to oat milk and non dairy creamers. At least 2% milk for sure! We will see next visit.

Provided no helpful feedback, would not recommend. Overly-cautious about Covid (which is understandable, to a point). Completely dismissed me as a new patient and the wait time for him to pop in for a mere 3 minutes was around 45 minutes long. You’d be much better off making an appointment with someone else!

Dr. Steele generally is helpful in sending me to specialists and addressing my concern, but not always. Such was the case in my last visit: I felt rushed, and one of my requests was ignored.
