He wasn't able to help me and as a consultation for a second opinion a teleconference would've been better than a 2.5 hour drive one way.

Dr. Steliga is one of the most considerate physicians I have ever had the pleasure to be a patient under their care. I always feel like I am the most important person in the room, and he never seems rushed or in a hurry although I am sure he is. He could have easily discounted my concerns, but he takes the time to explain my condition and to make sure I understand, and my questions are answered. I have and will continue to recommend others to Dr. Steliga.

I chk'd in on the 7th flr ACRC for a 12:30 apptmt at 12:15. The receptionist chk'd me in and told me to have a seat which I did right in front of the receptionist. An hr and a half later I still had not been called but several chk'g in after me had. Turns out I was sitting in the wrong area. Why was'nt I told I had to wait in a distinct area?
