    Dr.Steffens has consistently provided innovative and individualized care for me. In the areas of medication, diet, exercise; across the board - he has helped me stay as healthy as possible. His knowledge of PARKINSON'S disease is the best I have experienced in my nearly 25 years of dealing with Parkinson's.
