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.
Excellent surgeon… carpal tunnel surgery. Had use of hand immediately after with no pain.

I try to see Dr. Strauch yearly to monitor a benign finger tumor. He is gentle, receptive to the needs of his patients and does not recommend unnecessary procedures. He is an excellent specialist.

Dr. Strauch examined my hands and determined they weren’t inflamed enough to require injections. He recommended a topical anti inflammatory and soaking in hot water.

Dr. Strauch is a wonderful and thoughtful physician.
He explains everything very clearly and making sure I understand everything. I feel very comfortable asking questions.
Dr. Strauch is very knowledgeable, professional, and caring surgeon who truly cares about the patient and takes the time to follow up after the test is performed and through the course of patient therapy treatment.
