I have already recommended Dr Steinmetz-Wood to a friend with a similar issue
MD showed appropriate concern for my issue and answered questions as needed.
She was very prompt!
I was very pleased with her concern and treatment.
Knowledge, personable, great interview skills
She explained my options with great care. Excellent doctor
Dr was communicative and I felt include in the process.
She was an excellent listener and offered many suggestions/options. I appreciated her willingness to hear my concerns about taking medications. Very respectful and thoughtful answers to all of those.
My doctor is awesome
She listened to me
I'm not illiterate and I spend a good amount of time looking into the medications I am taking. I understand these doctors have 10 minutes to see patients and I did bring up some DND subjects but I felt like I was talking to an AI
I am thrilled to have Dr. Steinmetz-Wood as my new endocrinologist to follow my Type 1 diabetes. She was thorough, knowledgeable, quick to follow the course of multiple medical conditions and focused on my wellbeing. I feel lucky to have her as my new doctor.
Good
Excellent experience.
