I am definitely an inquisitive patient who tends to worry and have a long list of questions. Dr. Steliga is patient, personable, and willing to take the extra time to fit me into a tight schedule, explain the situation, and answer my questions in an understandable way.

My family and I like Dr. Steliga very much, we look forward to him doing my surgery as soon as possible. That is the only thing that I could complain about is having to wait to have my surgery date.
