Andrea Steele

I'm a dedicated Medical Assistant with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, working with patients of all ages across a variety of specialties. I take pride in using strong judgment, critical thinking, and clear communication to provide safe, patient-centered care. I'm known for building quick rapport with patients, listening closely to their concerns, and showing genuine empathy.
