Our surgeons are skilled, experienced and highly respected, available for consultation and second opinion in addition to performing surgery. What sets us apart? We're committed to providing excellent service - respectful, convenient, compassionate and attentive to your comfort and convenience. We will make all necessary appointments on your behalf for your medical needs. We take the time to get to know you - we're not just interested in what you need to have done. We'll review your medical history with you, closely examining your medical records and imaging studies and answering any questions you have before and after your procedure. We achieve excellent outcomes/results, safely and (important in today's environment) cost-effectively. We work with most major insurance providers and will take care of all necessary pre-approvals and paperwork. Our only agenda is your health and well-being. Our practice is focused entirely on surgery so you can be assured that no tests or referrals are financially motivated. Dr. Steinbaum believes in treating patients like members of his own family.
