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.

I would recommend Dr. Steen to everyone!
I was very nervous before the surgery and Dr. Steen explained what he was going to do in a way that was easy to understand. I had no complaints and no complications after. The front desk staff and medical staff were friendly and helpful.

Waited just a few minutes to see Dr. Steen. Esmeralda greeted me and explained the procedure. Dr. Steen came in a few minutes later. He is very personable and great at putting the patient at ease. The experience was great and I recommend him without reservation.

Wonderful!
I went with three pages of questions prior to my procedure. I was not rushed at all as Dr. Steen took the time to thoroughly, patiently and happily answered each and every one. The staff was helpful and friendly. The office was neat and clean. I highly recommend Dr. Steen!

Best physician I’ve seen in 86 years.
He is a surgical miracle performer. Two days and my incision is completely closed and healing. He is one of the last physicians who still truly interacts with his patients. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Long-Term Results Failed
Dr. Steen has a good rapport with the patient. I gave him a great review. I wrote too soon. I have a ropey scar, I am still in pain and even after weeks of therapy the range of motion is limited. This was a simple procedure to confirm I didn’t have skin cancer. It was months ago. And as an added insult when I asked him to approve physical therapy he would not unless I saw him again but couldn’t see me for weeks. Thankfully my insurance doesn’t need his approval. The stars are only for his bedside manner.

Dr. Steen is highly recommended
I could not be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Steen and his Rn Michelle. Their explanation of the surgery and recovery process was clear and understandable. The wound is healing nicely and the stitching looks like it will not leave an evident scar.

Highly recommend Dr. Steen
Dr. Steen blends professional expertise with an approachable, human touch. Interactions I observed between Dr. Steen and medical assistants left me with the impression that they work as a team with mutual respect evident. Any questions I had were answered in straightforward language, either directly by Dr. Steen or his knowledgeable medical assistants. A great physician who is part of a great dermatology practice.

First appointment today with Dr Steen for a Mohs procedure. I could not have been more impressed and will enthusiastically recommend him and the practice. The practice was very efficient. checked in and received first aspect of treatment promptly. All anspects explained realistically, such as the long wait to determine if more treatment necessary. I would have traveled three times as far for this level of expertise. Also so patient and encouraged questions or concerns. What a Melanoma relief!!

High praise
Dr. Steen and his associate Corina were wonderful. They have a great bedside manner that I find important. Dr. Steen was very willing to look at and treat an area we had not previously discussed which makes makes me feel like my health is very important to him. Well done both of you and thank you.

Complicated Procedure, Easy Experience
Dr. Steen and his assistant Melissa did an excellent job before, during, and after the Mohr's Surgery on my right ear. The procedure was explained to me beforehand and they confirmed my understanding. There were updates during the procedure as well as there is a long interval after the tissue is removed and before the areas were sutured closed. Both Dr. Steen and Melissa asked about my comfort at various points during the process as well.

Great experience with Dr. Steen!
I saw Dr. Steen for a minor surgical procedure today, and he was fantastic! It was my first time meeting him, and he was incredibly warm, approachable, and friendly, and took the time to provide important information and answer all my questions. Will definitely see him again if the need arises and I highly recommend him!

Missed my basel cell carcinoma
Dr. Steen said a lesion on the back of my head was nothing to worry about. It was recently biopsied by another dermatologist and found to be basel cell carcinoma and will be removed. He also did a chemical peel on my face, assuring me that it would improve facial lines and there was no improvement at all.
