Dr. Steck seemed very nice BUT after supposedly fixing my foot problems and I kept going back telling him there was something seriously wrong because I was in more pain than before seeing him, he just kept saying there was nothing wrong and I should give it time. He said 6 months to recoup - it's been two years and the pain just keeps getting worse. I saw another podiatric surgeon who told me what the problems were and why - something he did and they were amazed he didn't warn me ahead of time.

I have been a patient of Dr.Steck for over 2 years. I have Charcot which destroyed my mid foot and ankle bone. Another surgeon rebuilt my mid foot and Dr. Steck rebuilt my ankle. He is knowledge and caring. There is often a long wait to see him but that's because he takes his time with his patients. He always made sure I understood the current issues. He also has a good sense of humor. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I will NOT recommend Dr Steck to anyone. He operated on my foot he made it far worse and more painful than it was when I came to see him. When I brought this to his attention following surgery, he said he had done all that he can and referred me to another doctor. In my opinion, he simply took the money and walked away without any concern for the well being of the patient. I am still in great pain. My recommendation is that the AZ Medical Board revoke his license so he does not harm anyone else

After years of working with an ankle injury from an old accident Dr. Steck completed an ankle replacement this past summer. I spent the last 9 months speaking to physicians at TOI and the University about my injury and the best solutions and plan came from Dr. Steck and his team. I strongly recommend those with ankle issues to have a sit down with Dr. Steck and see if a solution can be found.

Final outcome is a functioning ankle without the pain. He is a perfectionist. He is in high demand but once accepted as patient he and his staff were there to answer multiple questions from me and my wife and instruct us on the process. My ankle was immobile, fused due to infection from previous surgery by another surgeon. After infection was cleared, with much assistance from Dr. Steck and staff, he replaced the ankle and reestablished tendons.

This doctor cares about MONEY, not caring for patients. Although I learned that a referral notice was sent THREE TIMES to his office, the staff said they didn't receive it and therefore Dr. Steck would not see me. (That's because the greedy doctor was afraid he wouldn't get paid although I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance and made the first copayment immediately!) They wouldn't help me; then was told Dr. Steck wouldn't see me as a patient as he didn't like my attitude (like he is G0D!)

I see why Dr. Steck doesn't show his face. He should be ashamed of himself. Has no regard for patients. Simply the worst doctor I've encountered in my 80+ years! Drove on aching ankles to see him; waited 2 hours, because primary care referral hadn't come. Paid co-pay (demanded up front) yet still refused to see me because no referral came. Not my fault! When I objected after long wait was told by staff he decided never ever to treat me. An arrogant, heartless, non-caring doctor. Shame on him!!

He exudes confidence and a calm demeanor. When speaking with him I felt that he was able to explain throughly and succinctly what my options were. I left with full confidence that he could successfully preform the surgical procedure as well as see me through the recuperation period as discussed. He was very good at instilling trust. .
