Dr. David J Steiger, MD

This man has never been anything close to resembling on time, not even for a telehealth appointment, not even when he is a no-show for a telehealth appointment. He will not apologize for wasting your time. He may be very knowledgeable in his field. However, he is utterly lacking in people skills and has a terrible bedside manner. Questions, if answered will be answered with a tone of mild exasperation and a dash of condescension.

Tremendous attention to detail await patients here. This doctor takes the Hippocratic Oath very seriously. I had the most pleasant experience in his practice plus the staff is so helpful you may forget you're in New York.

I went to Dr.Steiger and he misdiagnosed me, and let me leave his office frantic and with no explanation from him. When I got home and realized what he had just told me, I immediately started calling him and he would not get on the telephone. I called several times, as I thought I would have to go to the emergency room. He obviously does not have any idea of what he is doing, nor does he care. I was emailing him. No reply. I kept calling his office, and finally through the office manager he had said he made a mistake. He would not even get on the phone personally. He has NO bedside manner and he is a miserable person, besides being incompetent. He barely acknowledges you or listens to you. Stay away.

That is who he is!

Poor attitude; angry man

Dr Steiger might be very knowledgable but he does not explain anything, is frequently rude and impossible to get in touch with. I would find another pulmonologist.

Very sympathetic and understanding.

Dr. Steiger help me diagnose and auto immune disorder that ruined my life for years. He was continuously there for me thru my treatment. He is the best doctor I have ever been to.

Going to Dr.Steiger is a waste of time. He has a very poor bedside manner, and told me conditions that I had, which were wrong; didn't explain anything and later tried to backtrack after numerous emails to him, on what he said to me. Find another pulmonoligist. He is rude.

Dr. Steiger is an excellent physician; thurough and caring. He takes the time to listen patiently, and the patient never feels rushed. I first saw him when I was admitted with multiple blood clots in my lungs, and he literally saved my life. I trust him implicitly. Getting an appointment can at times be a challenge and takes persistance.

Dr. Steiger is excellent. Through and accurate diagnostics and a very pleasing, calm demeanor. The office staff is harried, though, and just getting through on the phone is at times a challenge.

highly intelligent, caring doctor...could not ask for someone better!

I credit Dr. Steiger with saving my life. After a TKR my heart rate was abnormally high. I was moved to the ICU unit. The following day I suffered a lung collapse and heart failure. Dr. Steiger was on duty and came to my rescue with a superior staff. After three days in an induced coma I awoke and survived. His follow up with me was extensive and represented an in depth study of my heart and health. He is a wonderful and extremely caring doctor. He has my complete trust and appreciation.

Thorough and kind. Definitely recommend him.
