After devoting two months to special study of nose, throat and chest troubles in the Baltimore City Hospital, he passed a successful examination before the Pennsylvania State Medical Board December 13, 1899. In February, 1900, he moved to Jacobs Creek, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he then engaged in the active practice of his profession, and where he became recognized as one of the most skilled surgeons and physicians of Westmoreland County. Dr. Steeves was surgeon for the Pittsburgh Coal Company and the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Company. He was medical examiner for the Metropolitan, the Equitable, and the Prudential insurance companies, and for all the fraternal societies in that part of the country.
