Dr. Steffan is amazing. He is always so patient with Dale and we feel that he genuinely cares about him. That's why, in the past, we were willing to drive to Idaho to see him.

I have worked with Dr. Steffens for close to nine years, I trust him and find that he listens to my questions, concerns and ideas. He will research and follow up with me on any new information that I bring. I feel that I am part of the team that is working towards my better health.

Dr. Steffens is the BEST doctor. I always highly recommend him to others.

May 01, 2013

I really like the way Dr. Steffens handles our appointment time. He knows when to be serious but he also takes the time to get to know me and I think that can be an important assessment tool as well. It also allows me as the patient to get to know him so I can make my own assessment of him as well. Is he a doctor that I can trust and put my faith in? The answers are "yes" and "yes".

Dr. Steffens is a very caring compassionate doctor.

March 07, 2013

Dr. Steffens found a problem that was unforseen to myself and many others. This diagnosis may be life changing for me during this time. I was very impressed with his ability to take my symptoms and find the underlying problem

January 02, 2013

The Dr was great, but I dont know if I would recommend due to the 3 month out to schedule an appt.

A warm, gentle person, Dr. Steffens is first and foremost an excellent listener. Not only does he include me in my health management, he practically insists on it. Between our last two visits, I unilaterally stopped a drug that made me feel unwell. This drug happens to be a magic bullet for many other patients, and it's one that Steffens likes to prescribe. He agreed with my decision, though he warned me what to watch for. I appreciate that he treats me as a smart-enough patient to help decide what's best for me.

As caregiver I realize that I should keep more detailed records in order to determine the effects of the medications.

October 09, 2012

Dr. Steffens excels in personal communication and listening. He takes the time to actively listen so I feel that he has done his best to understand my concerns. I have total confidence in him.

October 08, 2012

It's always a good experience with Dr. Steffens. Even when the results may be discouraging.

October 08, 2012

Dr. Steffens is wonderful, a real professional. He makes me feel like I am his father instead of a patient. It is very evident that he cares about me and wants me to have the best treatment possible. He is a real expert in his field and he knows how imporant it is to stay current on Parkinson's and give his patients the newest and best treatiment and drugs as possible. He is the best doctor I have ever seen in my 70 years. We are both fortunate to have him as a doctor and as a friend.

October 01, 2012

Just wish he had some answers, but that has nothing to do with Dr Steffens, I feel that I am in the best hands to help me

September 25, 2012

Dr. Steffens is the best.

September 24, 2012

Dr. Steffens has a way of making a person feel comfortable in asking questions and is very specific in answering them. I never leave without knowing what to do and feel I can call him in between appointments, if necessary. That's uncommon, today.

August 25, 2012

Dr. Steffens, as always, is very consultative, friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Plenty of time is spent so he can understand the problem. I feel well taken care of him as my physician.

April 19, 2012

it's all good.

April 05, 2012

Dr. Steffens always makes me feel like I am the priority when he is in my room. His manner is both professional and friendly. His questions reflect that he is really listening to my concerns.

March 16, 2012

March 05, 2012

He is great. We appriciate him taking us on.

All the doctors at the clinic are smart, good, talented doctors , but Dr. Steffens has cared for me more than 10 years now so i'm partial to him. I'm glad he's putting hours back in the clinic where he belongs. All my visits to the clinic have been easy-going, nonthreatening, helpful. Never had a bad experience there.
