Steinberg, Leon, Dr.

Dr. Leon Steinberg is the founder of Steinberg Diagnostic Centers in Las Vegas, Nevada. He moved to Las Vegas in 1958 to help build the first radiology center in Southern Nevada at Sunrise Hospital. In 1988 he founded Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI) with his son Dr. David Steinberg.

Steinberg graduated from medical school in June 1954 and married Frieda “Faye” Stendig August 28, 1954 in Los Angeles, California. He completed his internship and residency in radiology in California and Illinois before moving to Las Vegas to become Sunrise Hospital’s first radiologist.

The Steinbergs joined Temple Beth Sholom and helped found the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. They were active in and served on the boards of many Jewish Community organizations. In 2004, the Steinbergs received the Federation’s Hank Greenspun Founders Award. They were honored by Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Educational Campus for their many contributions to Jewish education in 2009. In addition, Temple Beth Sholom held a Gala called “Dancing with the Steinbergs” to recognize their many capital contributions to the synagogue, namely the large Social Hall, the small sanctuary, and the Mikveh and Bride’s room. The Steinbergs also work to build strong ties between Las Vegas and Israel.

The Steinbergs have five children, David, Alan, Dinah, Brian, and Suzanne, and many grandchildren.
