If I see a dermatology problem, I can get help for that patient immediately. In the 27 years Steiner has been a physician, he has seen changes in medical trends. I am very pleased that Dr. Teresa Canfield will be working in my office after I leave. The clinic brought in a female nurse practitioner, Nancy Morgan, in 1984. Then in 1997, Gayle Jackson was added to the staff as a certified nurse midwife.
People tend to associate physicians with a state of illness.
A midwife changes the focus from illness to a state of wellness. Steiner has also seen several medical advancements during his career. When I started, ultrasounds were not available, now they are very routine. When he was in school, laproscopy was just being introduced. I was the first physician to use this technique in Wooster.
