    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!
