    I have already stated my feelings about Doctor Steffens. Perhaps I stated them too early. However, I will say that I tell everyone, who will listen, that he is the BEST.

    Dr Steffens understands that I am very concerned about my health and patiently answered my questions. Hes trying to help me understand what Im dealing with and how depressing this is for me. Hes very patient because Im not an easy person to deal with sometimes when it comes to wanting answers that people can have for me.
