Dr. Devorah Steinecker is dedicated to improving the quality of life for infants, children and their families.  She brings thirty years of medical experience as a neurologist and osteopathic physician.  She specializes in the care of healthy children;  correcting feeding problems in newborns and issues of prematurity;  reversal of post-concussion syndrome;  diagnosis, treatment and management of childhood neuro-developmental issues;  and healing neuro-muscular and chronic health challenges with Cranial Osteopathy.

Dear Dr. Steinecker, As you know, when we first came through your door, our then four-month-old daughter Stella had an intense feeding aversion, which had halted her growth. As a result, she was fed through a nasogastric feeding tube. It was a nightmare. We were losing hope and in a constant state of panic. We were told by other doctors that reflux and a milk protein intolerance were likely to blame, but even after addressing those issues with medication and avoidance of dairy, she continued to refuse the breast and bottle. From the moment we met you, we felt energized, supported and more hopeful. You had such confidence in Stella, and your ability to heal her. More than that, you educated us on how trauma from her lengthy birth likely contributed to her feeding difficulties, thereby empowering us with a better understanding of her condition. I remember driving her home from one of her first visits, and she nearly finished an entire bottle. We were amazed. The progress continued throughout the course of treatment, and it wasn't more than a few weeks before her feeding tube was removed for good. Stella is now a happy, healthy one year old who loves to eat. The feeding tube seems so far away--like another lifetime.  She is thriving. Your gifted hands and open heart helped heal our precious girl and we are forever grateful to you for that. Your support of our family and belief in Stella meant so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Much Love, Amber, Cody & Stella Seattle, WA
OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

For years we had a deep longing to find a physician who would connect with our child as well as ourselves.  The array of neuro-biological challenges our son faced left us feeling confused and exhausted. The care that we have received with Dr. Steinecker has been a constant for us.  We found a very skilled physician who seemed to sense what we needed, often without our even being able to say it.  Healing has come to our family members through her gifts as an incredibly caring and skilled osteopathic physician, and her capacity for deeply listening to us.  Dr. Steinecker has continued to hold us in a special place that we can only describe as a sacred physician-patient relationship.  We are so very fortunate and blessed to know her as our physician for the past 15 years.

Dr. Devorah worked wonders for my 15 month old girl. R. was getting

sullen, did not laugh or smile much, was not crawling or interested in

walking, and was diagnosed with hypotonia. After the first treatment,

R. laughed immediately - a big reassuring belly laugh. Two months later

she is a happy and active toddler. We feel that Dr. Devorah and her

wonderful staff helped get my happy baby back. She has a wonderful

touch - kind bedside manner and therapeutic hands. We enjoyed going to her office as a whole family because the atmosphere is so caring.

Dr. Steinecker,


Thanks for the treatment. My daughter was the happiest I have seen her in months after the treatment. Her neck and shoulder pain was gone ( a huge relief) so she was running and playing like a pain free kid. Throwing the ball for our border collie for an hour. She told me her head felt “less compacted” and” things are moving around”. She only had one OCD event last night instead of the usual multiple events. I am so grateful.


She told me that she loves you and wishes you lived closer. She is afraid that you will go to LA and not come to Seattle again. I told her you are still coming here… Please tell me I am right?
