Prior to my appointment with Dr. Steinhauser, I was experiencing great anxiety due to several health problems. During my consultation, she actively listened to my concerns, asked questions, and provided a specific health plan for implementation. She offered concrete recommendations, referred me to a specialist, ordered a CT test and adjusted my medications to address my health needs.I cannot say enough in praise of her caring and compassionate disposition. She is an asset to her profession and Sharp Rees-Stealy!
