    Dr. Tondo-Steele's appointment was so very informative as she examined me to ensure that my hysterectomy stitches, both exterior and interior, had healed correctly. AND THEY HAD, because of her excellent surgery expertise! My husband and I had a list of questions to ask and Dr. Tondo-Steele valued each and every one of them. All of her answers were clearly understandable. She was always patient with this patient, took her time with me, and welcomed me, even though we were 25 minutes late due to an appointment at the main HCI. Dr. Tondo-Steele calls me, even on a Friday afternoon, to update on test results, etc. I count my lucky stars to have had Dr. Tondo-Steele as my surgeon for so many reasons, too many to list here. Thank you, Dr. Tondo-Steele, for all you have done for me during these past two months. I will be forever indebted to you. [NAME REMOVED]

    Dr. Tondo-Steele is excellent. She took the time to thoroughly address all of my questions and concerns, both before and after surgery, clearly explained what the surgery would entail, and thanks to her skills, my surgery went very well and my recovery has been rapid. Highly recommend!
