Dr. Steele has been awesome in helping me navigate some post-stroke issues. Yesterday was my first time to come alone to the appointment and we had some questions that I couldn't remember the answers to. He got my husband on the phone and got the answers needed and then continued to fill him on the course of action. We are so impressed with him that my husband has made some referrals to him.
