Steve Engstrom MD

River Fine was thorough and listened well. Took his time and asked questions for understanding. Dr Engstrom took a good deal of time analyzing my problem, asking questions, explaining X-rays. Very thorough. I appreciate his time and understanding.

The skill of my surgeon and his care when he was with me was exemplary. Prior to surgery the preparatory information and rescheduling (because of her schedule changes) by nurse practitioner was very poor, not building a lot of confidence in the procedure I was about to embark on.

Respectful, listens &communicates great, professional, kind

Provider never looked at me after he first came in. He did not give me me a chance to tell him or discuss how the pain occurred. He decided to send me to another physician who will give the steroidal injection . He never discussed anything. He just made those decisions quickly and without my input. He was in the room 5-8 min tops and this was initial appointment. Furthermore, he did not examine my leg nor ask me to walk or to move it.

Very kind doctor

Dr.Engstroms surgery on my knee was described as not surgery...Pure Artistry. I agree with that whole heartedly!

He was kind and generous with his time. He had great bedside manners.

It really meant a lot that after deciding to proceed with TKR Dr E said We're going to take really good care of you. Such a small thing but made me feel truly cared for. Thx for that.

I have passed his name to several friends.
