When a car slammed into me when I was riding my bike to go play tennis with Jon Brodsky.  After a "triple-lindy" and bashing into the windshield, I was basically a goner. That first night in the ICU, I stopped breathing -- game over.  But the awesome team at Abington Hosptial brought me back to life -- I got a second chance.  I was on only 13, but I remember distinctly saying to myself, "Make this second chance count."  It's why I became a doctor, an oncologist; and it's the foundation of The Dr. Steven Show -- to facilitate the good that's out there, to move, touch, and inspire people to be their authentic selves.  

As Sting so eloquently wrote, "If you love someone, set them free."  All I knew at the time is that I loved people and wanted everyone I came into contact with to feel a little better because of it.  To remember how amazing they are.  Even a tiny nudge towards the smiling, laughing, shining version of them. I specialize in Medical Oncology and Hematology. I believe that music, humor, and heart can transform patients’ journeys through the minefield of cancer. I knew that I wanted to connect with my patients through song, and help them tell their stories — what they love about life.

I’ve seen in my practice and in my own life how important it is to have that connection with someone when you need it most.  I want to empower people to reach out to those that need it most, connect with them, create something with them and listen to them.  I think when we come together for support and inspiration we’re capable of great things, and I hope the show can help bridge those connections.
