I was very impressed by the detailed workup Dr. Steve did. It was obvious he was on the forefront regarding blood testing. After being told for years and my cholesterol is too high a case was never made for why I should take medication. Through my meetings with Dr. Steve he made me aware of the fact that I had every six independent risk factors for heart attack andnow I am being treated aggressively. EB Boulder, Colorado
