I scheduled an appointment on a Friday, I believe, and was seen on the following Monday. \n\nThis time, I came prepared with more questions and a bit more of a serious attitude. Dr. Steinke answered my questions and we set up an appointment for surgery at Banner Estrella Medical Center next door for March 5th. I ended up getting bronchittus early last week and the surgery's been rescheduled for this coming Monday the 15th. Am I scared? Oh my gosh, yes! However, his staff (Robbie, in particular) has been really helpful & on the ball with answering my phone calls as well as calling me back for things. \n\nAt one point, my insurance supposedly had a termination date which Robbie found and we got things smoothed out. Now, I'm just waiting for surgery, and I'll write a review for Banner Estrella when I'm healed after that. Until then, if you're referred to the AZ Spine Care office, you'll have a pleasant experience. They are friendly and helpful & have done a lot with scheduling and rescheduling. They also put me in contact with Stand Up MRI services so there wouldn't be another getting-the-wrong-type-of-scan issue."^^ . "2010-03-10T00:00:00"^^ .
