Dr. Steliga always makes me feel like I'm the most important patient he has. He has reviewed my medical history and scans prior to my visit and always takes plenty of time to explain my scans and my treatment course and answer all my questions. I also like the way he treats not only me but his Residents with courtesy and respect. Dr. Steliga has a exceptional and I am grateful to be under his care.

I drove 3 1/2 hours to see a specialist, Dr wasn't prepared for my visit. Everything could have been done by phone that was done. I have [DIGANOSIS] cancer and was referred to a specialist.
