Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Steely and staff are an amazing team of excellence!!!!! They are professional and caring. I recommend them for your heart needs.

Dr. Steely was very pleasant and attentive. He ordered a test based on my health history and my conversation with him. I feel he is very easy to talk to and I will continue to see him.

Went to Dr. Steely for follow up after a triple bypass with a different doctor (a cardiac surgeon). He was most concerned with putting me on a medication & said I would die within 5 years if I didn't take it, which I'm not. When I presented my research on that med causing serious side effects, he was dismissive. Didn't want to hear about my plans to try to control cholesterol w/diet, supplements, & exercise or even give me a chance to explain any of my concerns. Very passive-aggressive, condescending attitude. If you want to see a know-it-all doctor who will throw drugs at you, this is your guy.

Excellent Cardiologist! He is always up on all the latest research. He saved my Husband’s life 19 yrs ago, and my husband is in great health still today! I have seen Dr Steely also.

Cleared me for surgery and said my heart had scares. If he read my records he would have know I had 2x bypass in 1988. Of course there are scares from surgery. All I have heard from others who have visited him will not again.

Never again – Apr 17, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Steely?
Dr Steely conducted the consult on my 91 year old mother a year ago. He had little concern or interest in her. He couldn’t get out if her hospital room fast enough, failing to discuss her case or answer questions. I have no desire to see him again on any level of care. Side note, we moved her to a different hospital and different doctors, and she has stabilized, is healthy and living her best life of a 92 year old woman.

I took myself to the ER a few years ago due to some heart problems. Steely waltzed in - in front of my family all jovial and announced that nothing was wrong with me. That day he documented Atrail Fib., but said nothing. If he had done what he should I could have been put back in to rhythm, but now I’m on blood thinners the rest of my life and hoping I don’t have clots thrown. This was a while back and I’m still mad.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Steely?
I liked Dr. Steely, however everyone but him was involved in my aftercare concerns with the result being a medicine prescribed that he did not want me to take. I felt too many people, nurse, nurse practitioner and other doctors in the clinic, were too involved in my situation and none of them knew what the other was doing. I had no contact with Dr. Steely after my initial visit.
