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.

Insensitive and careless doctor
I accompanied my mother to an appointment this morning and I must say that I was appalled at the treatment she received. It is evident that the doctor is a rcist individual who has no desire to truly help patients and only to collect money from workers comp. It is unfortunate that individuals like him make an oath to help those in need only to see people as numbers and not individuals truly in need of medical assistance. I encourage anyone reading this to do your research and receive treatment from a doctor who is truly invested in your health.

Horrible experience as a new patient. Staff was friendly, Dr was rude and arrogant. Told me that I had a muscle.sprain and gave me prescription for a sleeping pill and a sheet of exercises to do. I explained it was in a lot of pain, after moving and he said, I know I had back pain also. I left in the same pain and felt not heard. 3 days later, I go to another Dr and he does xrays and gives me a prescription for anti inflammatory pills, a muscle relaxer and a referral for PT. 3 days later!!!

Told me that I was fat and that was the reason that I had bad knees. He said this in front of the attendant in the room. He told me to “put down that fork and push yourself away from the table.” I don’t think he would’ve spoken to me like that if I were a man. So I went to somebody else. The new doctor did not speak to me like that.

Dr. Strain is the best, I have a cervical spine issue that needed surgery, he went out of his way and found me the best neurosurgeon . It relieved so much of my stress. He also did my husbands total knee replacement which he is very happy with....Thank you so much.....I trust him, honest and brilliant.

I fell and broke my knee and was needing help. I went to Dr. Strain office and he asked me that surgery was needed to cure it. The surgery went great squeezing me into the schedule. I had my first follow up !!

They are truly the best, Dr Strain is a top class surgeon. Staff is also amazing, helping details and scheduling. Dr Strain was great and attentive. Unfortunately, I've had prior surgeries. None were as flawless as this one.

Dr. Strain and his staff provided me with much-needed information for my aching pains around my ankle region. After a few sessions, the proper procedure was picked and I am no longer suffering from any pain. 10 out of 10, would recommend to family and friends to Dr. Strain.

I had procedure done by Dr. Strain. He is very professional and meticulous. His behavior is great and his staff is responsive and helpful. Through the entire procedure, from our initial consultation, surgery day, and all post-op visits, he has been superb.
