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.

Poor Office faculity/Managers Services
Office staffing does not follow up with patients to set appointments. You call the office and ask for the manager to call you back and they never call back. Very disappointing, still awaiting a call back from them for my moms mammogram. After I called the office, I follow up with hospital where they said they send information and hospital has no information on patient from their office. This is where you can tell the office and managers DON'T CARE about their patients.

I just love my doctor! He listens to everything I say, and he keeps me healthy and happy. He is genuinely concerned with my diabetes and promotes changes in my life that directly lead to better diabetes control. I also like his team. They are excellent as well.

The office is very professional, clean, and well run. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Steel is one of my favorite physicians, he is kind and helpful. Explains things clearly, and he takes the time to treat me as a human, not just a patient to get in and get out. He is a great diabetes doctor. I highly recommend him to everyone.
