Patient Reviews
May 01, 2022
Dr. Steckel is an excellent surgeon. While performing a colonoscopy, he identified a 3 cm growth located by my appendix and, after CT scan and follow-up visit, recommended it’s removal. He and his team performed laparoscopic surgery to remove my appendix and a portion of the adjoining colon (cecum). Dr. Steckel is a very knowledgeable and experienced surgeon, and he took the time to answer all my questions before and after the procedure. He and his team did an excellent job, and my recovery went very smoothly. I was back home in 2 days. I would recommend Dr. Steckel of St. Peter’s Hospital to anyone with similar colorectal healthcare needs. Bonus review… the nursing staff at St. Peter’s Hospital were all super helpful! They work 12 hour shifts and had a positive attitude no matter how difficult the circumstances (or the patient). A truly inspiring group of people.
