Personal

I’ve been practicing in the Minnetonka area for over twenty years. In July of 2019, I had the privilege of being named President of Park Dental.  While I enjoy all areas of comprehensive patient care, I particularly enjoy the patient interaction. Away from the practice, I enjoy time with my wife and two sons. We’re very involved in Minnetonka sports and also enjoy outdoor activities.

Dr. Steele is not accepting new patients at this time.

The dental care you deserve is waiting for you at a nearby Park Dental.

I have gone to Dr. Steele for years and I have recommended Dr. Steele to many of my friends. The reason that I have requested Dr. Steele is that he is very gentle and very good at listening and telling you what is going to be done and why. Dr.Steele has always addressed my concerns and answered any questions that I have had. Bottom Line - Dr. Steele listens and takes the time to answer your questions and concerns.

I would actually give "confidence in my doctor" a score of "6" (Excellent), if it was an option. I believe that he is very technically competent. Further, he has never pushed me towards expensive but questionably necessary treatments. This should be the norm in the dental profession, but clearly is not based on my experience with other dentists and stories from friends and family.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Steele, both in his skills as a dentist and that he will recommend only services that I need and are in my best interest. Other dentists that I have used in the past seemed more focused on how much money they could make from my teeth, rather than what work was actually needed.
