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.

Dr. Strom and his team are very thorough. They made sure the entire process from consultation to surgery date was seamless. I knew what to expect and there was always someone available if I had a question.

Dr. Strom installed a LapBand in December 2014. He took the time to explain how different bariatric surgeries work, the effectiveness rates, and the level of work I would have to put into maximizing the success of my tool. He has been kind, caring and compassionate and has always listened carefully to my concerns and questions. I would suggest him and his practice to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

I had a bad experience. Dr. Strom never listened when I told him I was taking several antibiotics for the treatment of Lyme disease and would this be a problem with my hernia surgery. He also did not look at my file which included the New Patient medical history forms and my cardio clearance for my operation. t was only when I was at the hospital only minutes from being wheeled into the operating room that he looked at my file and decided to call off my operation for fear of an infection.
