Dr. Steck,
You performed a nerve release procedure in my left leg in April 2006. It worked AWESOME!! I SMILE when I have to park far away at the grocery store because I remember, 3 years ago, I couldn’t even walk downstairs to take the laundry down and grocery shopping resulted in nauseating, dizzying pain. I have even received my green belt in Tae Kwon Do since then. I’ll probably test for purple before the end of the year.
Anyway, God bless and I look forward to hearing from you if you get the chance. Thanks.

I just want to say – I am so glad to have had surgery. To have met a such a great, sincere surgeon who saw potential in me and helped me in the long run, on both my feet. I don’t know any doctors who would have taken my case so openly and with such compassion for me like Dr. Jerome Steck. I am so very greatful and honored to have had a surgeon like him. This has been a great journey for me having 2 surgeries with in the past 2 years. I am glad to get it out of the way and start my life with new feet, and with a new confidence!
Dear Drs. Dixon and Steck:
It has been six months since a fall from a ladder caused multiple breaks to my arm, shoulder and foot. I just want to thank both of you for your hard work, patience and caring manner in putting me back together. We are truly blessed to have had Dr. Dixon on call the afternoon of my fall and to have his immediate and full attention for that entire first evening. His recommendation to delay the foot surgery until Dr. Steck’s return to Tucson was advice well taken and benefitted me greatly.
I will not forget Dr. Dixon’s words to me as he was dismissing me from the hospital, “I will NOT fix you” in the event I did not follow his and Dr. Steck’s
strict directions for recovery at home. I followed the instructions to the letter, and thanks to those instructions and a very strong supportive husband and family,
I am fully recovered from what was a terrible situation.
My most vivid memory of the whole event was Dr. Dixon telling me that he would have to delay surgery because of the swelling, and my telling him that was okay, I’d just go home and wait until he was ready. 1 think that was right after I had told him that actually, my right arm really was not broken as he’d just told me, but instead he was seeing a scar from when I had broken it at age 10! Obviously I was heavily medicated at the time!
Again many thanks to both of you, as well as Carmen and Sharon who were so helpful to me. I feel very fortunate to have been your patient.
Sincerely,
Kathy D.
