“I certainly enjoy caring for the elite athletes of the world,” says Dr. Steele, “however, my true calling has been developing a relationship with my regular office patients. I particularly enjoy establishing a rapport, coaching and watching the positive changes that develop over time. By addressing the diverse needs of my patients, I can provide support that extends beyond medical treatment alone, fostering healing and wholeness in every aspect of their lives.”
