It's no exaggeration to say that I love Dr Steve's approach. He is warm & caring & explained everything I needed to know post-surgery. He sincerely expressed concern for my well-being. Dr Steve made sure to let me know that he would be contacting my oncologist to let him know my biopsy results. He encouraged me to call him for any medical reason. Within the hour after the appointment Dr Steve personally called to let me know that he had spoken with Dr Marks my oncologist. In my opinion Dr Steve goes above & beyond the call of duty!
