Personal:

 Dr. Barbara Steele was a collegiate Division I track athlete for 4 years at Brown University, competing in the 400m and 400m hurdles. She continued her athletic career playing soccer with an amateur women’s soccer team in NYC. During a soccer game she sustained a knee injury with an ACL tear and a meniscus tear. She underwent surgery and was able to get back to soccer! This experience has allowed her to fully relate to patients throughout her career.  She now coaches her children in track and is able to run with them!
