After retiring,
Dr. Steele began his
own consulting firm,
which helps hundreds
of medical centers
across the country to

patient-focused
programs. Then in
the fall of 2010, armed with an intimate knowledge of
the country’s top joint centers, he came back to the place
where it all started.
“I didn’t become a true expert until I became a patient,”
Dr. Steele reflects. “Now I’m keeping up with my grandkids,
walking the golf course and climbing onto the boat with
no trouble. Now I understand what my patients always said
after their surgeries: I should have done it sooner.”
