Awesome Doc
I have been dealing with anxiety forever it feels like. Tried a few different treatments, none of which worked for me. I haven't started this therapy yet but I am excited to. The doctor is super knowledgeable and so is his staff. They answered questions i didn't even think to ask. So happy I took this first step, thank you Dr Steck! Can't wait to start, i'll update my review when in a few weeks. Hope my review helps you take your first step!

I'd give more stars if I could
Dr. Steck and his staff were excellent. At first I was nervous about what people might think seeing me walk in, but this is a private building & parking lot, so I felt more at ease. They answered all of my questions and concerns and I was astonished by the wealth of knowledge they had as well as providing me with resources to further assist me in finding the proper strains to choose from. When I registered for the state, I called to ask a question and his staff stayed on the phone while I completed the online registration. Above and beyond they made this feel like nothing more than a routine visit to the doctor. If you are nervous and unsure, this may be the place for you.

Official response
Highly Recommend!
I was really nervous about getting my medical license because of what people might think especially as a first responder. I had so many unanswered questions that Dr. Steck and his staff were able to answer. I really appreciate their compassion and empathy as well as their broad knowledge on the system and the different strains and how they would alleviate my symptoms. I felt uneasy about going for my first time but from the minute I walked in to the office I felt comfortable and Dr. Steck’s calm demeanor put me at ease AND they offered me a discount because I am a firefighter! I highly recommend Alternative Weed Therapy. Thank you Dr. Steck!
