I love Dr. Stiefel! He performed a surgery on me in 2012 and has taken care of my follow up treatments and visits ever since. he is always very attentive and thorough. He takes time with his patients to make sure he is taking care of their needs or concerns. I trust him completely!

I've seen people complain about the office staff, but my focus is on the fact that Dr. Steifel is one of the kindest and knowledgeable physicians I have ever had do surgery for me. After a really bad experience with another surgeon I had to have a abdominal hernia repair and he did an excellent job in July 2016. I would highly recommend Dr. Steifel.

He does not make himself available for follow up appointment. I waited 2 hrs and left for another doctors appointment. I called to reschedule. I was put on hold for 7 minutes and a very rude person could only get me in a week later. I'm going to my pcp to check me over. It would only take him 3 minutes but couldn't work me in.

Great surgeon, great guy. Dr. Stiefel performed two surgeries on me in March, 2017. After the the second, six and a half hour surgery, Dr. Stiefel told me that the operation had taken quite a toll on him too although he didn't phrase it quite as genteel as that. The reason for that is that he doesn't just bring his skill and training to the game but gives 100% of himself, heart and soul, to make sure you have the best outcome possible.

Dr.Stiefel was the surgeon for my husband's gall bladder removal. During our consultation he took his time and explained everything to us in detail. On the day of surgery he was very informative and nice, my husband surgery was a success. I highly recommend him.

I had the procedure that same day. he lanced it in a matter of minutes. he walked me through my recovery process and answered all my questions. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking for a general surgeon. I trust him most importantly.

Dr. Stiefel is very knowledgeable and a very skilled surgeon. I had surgery on my leg and all turned out better than I ever expected. He had done consultation with other doctors prior to the surgery and was well prepared for the procedure. Recovery for me was fast and I was up and moving around the next day, and continued to improve every day. I would highly recommend Dr. Stiefel.
