Absolutely never go to this "doctor" unless you want incompetence and neglect, not treatment.

She's burned out and taking it out on her patients. Dangerous levels of medical neglect and abuse. Takes months of repeated begging to do anything as simple as a prescription refill or referral.

I saw Dr. Stecker for the first time today after having to find a new PCP. I had a wonderful experience with her and felt very comfortable and listened to. She did not rush me, and answered all of my questions. So happy to have found Dr. Stecker!

Although I am sure she is up to date with medical expertise, she seems preoccupied and bored. I am just another old woman of no interest. Office staff tries and is nice, but if you have an appointment for a prescription refill in six months, don't give a a script for only 3 months with no refills??. Also don't code the billing wrong for something that is not an annual checkup!!!! The burden then is on the patient to clear up the problems.

Dr. Stecker and her team are extremely professional and very efficient. She is very well educated and makes decisions with the patient. She doesn't run her practice by getting patients in and out as fast as possible, but rather takes time to listen, conducts tests and then bases her opinion on her findings. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Primary Care doctor.
