Very personable. Very invested in me and what may be the best surgical procedure. Very, very thorough.
To experience and understand everything that is needed to obtain the maximum outcome successfully , it is only achievable with all the qualities of Dr. Steely. I am very blessed to have her undeniable knowledge and skills required, which were required, to eradicate my previous heart condition and issues. She is a gift to everyone fortunate to be under her care and has full knowledge to address all aspects needed to be addressed for a successful outcome. I believe with all my heart I would not be here today to express these thoughts, had she not been the lead to the process and success of my care. Thank you Dr. Steely.

You are our gift....Thank you Dr. Steely.
Dr Steely and staff are A plus
dr. Steve was very professional kind and a good listener and I felt very comfortable with her assessment and interest in my case
Dr Steely is an absolute rockstar. Luckily I really don't have another heart surgeon to compare her to but I can't imagine anyone being better at their job than she is at hers. I've never put more trust in a person than I did her and I could not be happier with the outcome. Her assurance leading up to the surgery, the actual surgery and her attention to me afterwards was top notch all the way. She came to see me every day I was in the hospital and stayed as long as I had questions or concerns. I really am at a loss for words to describe how she made what was probably the worst month of my life bearable. Again, ROCKSTAR.
I had a virtual visit with Dr. Steely. She explained everything and made me feel really good.
Wonderful knowledgeable, Dr
She was fantastic to work with and my wife and I put our complete trust in her.
I highly recommend Dr. Steely. She is a fantastic surgeon who cares deeply about her patients.
Great face to face consultation. Explanation of treatment plan was easy to understand and sensible. Look forward to following the recommendations and follow-up visits.
Dr Steely is a caring and compassionate physician. She listens carefully and explains everything very well.
Dr Andrea Steely is very detail oriented. She is very direct and thoughtful. She think about my situation and for by best interest all the time. She is confident and direct. She is also personable with her client. She is smart. She always think of what to do to better the client at least in my case. I trust her with my situation and to get be better.
Andrea is a exceptional surgeon and person. I think you could not ask for a better Dr. If I would ever have to have heart surgery I would want her to take care of me. A great surgeon and great at explaining everything to you before and after the procedure.
Superstar surgeon. Combines tremendous skill with great empathy. Takes the time to explain everything in fine detail. If you were to build the perfect surgeon in a lab, Dr. Steely would be the blueprint.
A wonderful caring person. Really listens and includes you in decisions.
Impressed with her generous use of time in explaining my heart condition and recommended treatment pathway
Great
She is very kind and explains the details of your upcoming surgery as well as the recovery process. She is concerned that she answered all of your questions completely.
Outstanding
Explained everything in a way that we could understand it
Knows exactly how to put your mind at ease.
Dr. Steely is an amazing surgeon. Extremely competent and caring. Heart surgery is frightening, but her kindness and professionalism put me at ease. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Steely was kind, informative and had very good suggestions for my care.
Beyond Dr Steely's talent and professionalism as a surgeon, she is incredibly caring and attentive in dealing with her patients. Thank you Dr Steely!
She is very caring and answered all of my questions in a way I could understand. I haven't had a procedure done by her but when I need to she will be the one I will go to. I was impressed by her knowledge, honesty and compassion.
Dr Steely and her staff are the very best in my opinion. Her attention to details, execution of care and follow up with her patients is second to none in my experience.
This practitioner is thoughtful, efficient, and exudes clinical confidence. Many physicians exude confidence that comes across to patients as arrogance. Not Dr. Steely. At one point during the visit she discovered an anomalous finding (unexpected bradycardia). She took the time to track down a colleague with more experience in reading ECGs for a quick consult. That I found reassuring; many doctors would take their best guess and move on because seeking another opinion causes delay. She took the time to nail down the importance of this data point. It bolstered my already considerable trust in her.
Excellent analysis, Excellent recommendations, excellent care.
Explain things to me very well, although I was hard of hearing and she had to repeat, but she was very good about the whole experience
The doctor was very helpful. She explained the next procedure to have and why. I thought she was really concerned for me. I thank the doctor for her advice.
I feel so blessed to have Dr. Steely evaluate my situation and perform my surgery. She is so knowledgeable yet down to earth. She patiently answered all of my questions and explained everything thoroughly. She's very kind and I have all the confidence in the world that I am literally getting the best care I could get anywhere in the world right here at University of Utah Hospital. It's obvious that Dr. Steely has dedicated her entire adult life to helping people to heal and live a productive life drew restoring their health. I truly believe that she is the best in her specialized procedures.
Dr. Steely and the whole team are treating patients like their friends?excellent service I have been received here. highly recommended. Thanks so much.
Dr. Steely was very patient in answering my questions and concerns. She explained everything so that I understood my condition and my options for treatment.
I appreciated your taking your time with me. I didn't feel like you were rushing through everything. Your PA was awesome.
Dr. Steeley is one of the best physicians I have ever talked to. She took time to explain what was happening and what could happen. She drew diagrams and pictures so that I could understand. She listened to my wife and myself with interest and use what I said in helping us determine what to do at this point in time. As a cardiac surgeon, I cannot think of anybody I would trust more.
Dr. Steely is an exceptional surgeon. She was very caring and personable. Dr. Steely explained everything in a thorough and thoughtful manner. I owe her my life!
She was outstanding. She explained everything so clearly.
Thorough, informative, responsive, and friendly.
I met Dr. Steely for the first time on this visit. I came away very impressed with her thoroughness, with her attention to detail, and especially with her ability to connect important dots in my complex medical history. She did the latter in real time as we talked. Wondrous! A talented provider who took the time to pay *real* attention to the patient in front of her. And she never once consulted a screen.
I have only met Dr Steely virtually twice to discuss my up and coming Surgery and I feel wry confident with her. She is very knowledgeable and caring.
Dr Steely is a wonderful doctor. She is caring taking the time to answer our questions in a way I can understand. She is also very caring.

She is very caring and professional. I felt like I was in good hands from the first visit. She was very caring thru my recovery and after care. Takes her time with me as a patient.
I felt like I was in good hands from my first appointment with her. She explained my procedure well and followed thru with visits/care until the day I left the hospital thru my follow up appointment. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing this type of surgery.
She was so friendly and thorough in her explanation, I didn't even need to ask anything that was on my list of questions!!
