Very satisfied with my initial visit. The Doctor clearly explained what he believe what was the best way to proceed based on what he reviewed from the imaging. The doctor exhibited great bed side manner and the staff was very cordial and provided prompt and excellent service.
Great experience
- Nicholas
Words truly cannot explain how appreciative my family and I are for Dr. Stieg and his entire team. Suddenly, I was faced with a neurological condition that came out of nowhere and absolutely scared the life out of me. Dr. Stieg went above and beyond to ensure I understood all aspects of what was needed and within 2 weeks I was operated on and am now on the road to recovery. I trusted Dr. Stieg with my life and there isn't a person or place that I would ever send a loved one besides to him. THANK YOU will never be enough!
Thorough, efficient, and empathic doctor and staff
