I highly recommend Dr Steig, his confidence, knowledge and willingness to take the time to explain options was excellent. Should I require surgery for the brain tumor he is my go to!
I am so very grateful to have met Dr. Stieg. I have quite a complicated medical history and have been referred to and seen many doctors as a child and in my adult life. Dr. Stieg is the first physician I have met in a long time who was open to pursuing my case, to spending time with me to explain his thinking and help me understand what the obstacles may be for my case. He is not only a brilliant doctor but amazingly kind and gracious. Willing to take the time to review all records before stating his opinion. I honestly was so taken aback by his knowledge, thoroughness and caring. Finally, I feel I am in the best of best hands. Dr. Stieg is a god send. Thank you!
Dr. Stieg was a wonderful doctor. I saw him the other day to review my annual brain MRI. He was gracious and kind and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to me slowly and carefully and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend him. I was very lucky to have met him.
