Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor Strong is a very thorough doctor he listens to your issues and addresses the problems head on and quickly. Wish I would have been seeing doctor Strong years sooner.

I would recommend Dr. Strong, I worked in the medical field for over 20 years. He truly listens to his patients maintaining professionalism while still being down to earth. I feel at ease with him as my doctor. I live over 2 hrs away, don't mind the drive at all for the benefit of a great doctor.

Dr Strong is a wonderful and caring physician. My husband has dementia and Dr Strong is better than a primary doctor in doctoring all his physical needs which takes worry off me.

Dr. Strong is the best neurologist I’ve seen. He tries to find an answer to the problem in the same way that one solves a puzzle. All the pieces must fit into place, and he doesn’t leave a single stone unturned. I trust him and his judgment completely.

He is doing his best to find out what is wrong with me but so far has been unsuccessful. His African American receptionist has an attitude & needs to be terminated. In 4-5 office visits over the last 3 months, I have never once seen her smile or show any care & compassion to an incoming patient. She is abysmal. If she is having personal problem, I hope she can get help, but she gives a horrible first impression unlike the other receptionist at the front desk who is pleasant.

Dr. Strong is the most thorough physician I have visited. If he suspects anything may not be normal I get tested to rule out that potential issue. I’m very grateful to have a doctor who is so knowledgeable and who genuinely enjoys his profession.

Brenda in Cropwell, AL – Dec 30, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Strong?
Long story short - After 15+ years seeing many neurologists for mild epilepsy at another hospital, I switched over to Dr. Strong. He recommended a smaller dose of my medications, which led to a greatly reduced amount of side effects while keeping me healthy. My previous neurologists seemed to only know how to increase dosages, which increased side effects and reduced quality of life. Dr. Strong solved a TON of problems for me just by doing that. Great neurologist.
