Our daughter, Alisa Miller, was born 25 years ago today (5/11/83) at P.G. Hospital. Dr. Steerman was in the delivery room when she was born by c-section and was her Pediatrician throughout her childhood. I can hear Dr. Steerman saying after an examination, “Well I think she’s absolutely perfect.” Dr. Steerman also gave me allergy shots for 12 years. She was the best doctor for so many reasons…caring, knowledgeable, and always committed. I can’t even tell you how many times she saw our daughter after hours! I’m sure we’re not alone. She was a special lady and I know from our conversations how important family was to her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and please keep those wonderful memories you share alive in your hearts.
