Meet Dr. Steely

Dr. Robin P Steely, DDS

As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a dentist. I believe that some people are called into a profession rather than just taking a job. I am one of those people. My approach to dentistry is holistically inclined healing.

In a spiritual context, the term healer is typically applied to Jesus. He has been called the great physician. He was followed by people that may have had little idea of His ministry, but could make the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear.

My world view and faith tells me, that in its simplest form, that is what I am called to be. What is a healer? It is about setting up the environment for health, wellness and change. It is about living my life according to my values – listening carefully to people, entering into relationships with them, opening our minds, our hands, and our hearts. It is about the freedom to live joyfully, peacefully and lovingly. It is the place where you enter someone’s life and experience the joy with them as they make choices that transform their lives.

Patient Testimonial

Dr. Steely has been my Dentist for over 30 years. Dr. Steely and his staff are always on the cutting edge of the latest technology. Dr. Steely is simply amazing, he goes far beyond the call of duty to provide additional resources and services for me besides just caring for my oral health.

I believe in using the gifts that I have been given to help improve the lives of others and lead them to a healthier future. It has been said that “first you get the skills in your head, then you get them in your hands, but they don’t become alive until you get them in your heart.” I am a holistically inclined, wellness-centered dentist because it is in my heart.

To share that passion and belief, I continue to train myself both technically and behaviorally. Dentistry is a behavioral science that blends art, technology, and science with psychology and humanity.

Schuster Center Graduate & Mentor

On the behavioral side, I am a graduate and mentor to colleagues of the Schuster Center for Professional Development in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Schuster Center is the preeminent business and development school for dentists. I have been fortunate to have been personally coached by Dr. Michael Schuster and now can give back to like minded professionals.

I continue to lead and mentor a group of dentists in the Performance Coach continuum. We study best practices in leadership, personal and professional development, health and wellness and connect with the thought leaders across the broad spectrum of human development.

I have a passion for
teaching, coaching, and
connecting with people

I recently had the privilege to share my story during an interview with my friend, coach, and mentor, Dr. Michael Schuster. Dr. Schuster is the founder of the Schuster Center for Professional Development, the nation’s premier business school for dentists. Dr. Schuster and I became acquainted in the late 1990’s and my experience with him has led me on paths far different from anything I could have ever imagined. I hope you enjoy learning a little more about the road that I have traveled.
