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.

Great Dr Strapko
Just met the doctor this week and my husband (almost 80) was put at ease almost instantly. He was very laid back yet very professional. We were dreading the appointment but after meeting with him, we left more informed and look forward to seeing him in the future

Fantastic Follow up care and wellness
Dr. Strapko is always great with his explanations of my post op care and progress, attention to detail and striving to find ways to improve my post operation recovery and returning my function and range of motion. Great pre and post operation care and genuine concern for my well being.

Dr.Strapko is an excellent orthopedic physician
I trust Dr.Strapko. He's knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. He diagnosed a wrist injury very quickly. He's seen this before with others who box or are involved in MMA.

I have complete faith in him.
Dr. Strapko and I have an extensive medical history. I've entrusted him with the care of my hands and wrist for several years now. At no point in time has my faith in him waivered. Currently, I live 75 miles away from the Nashua office. However, I believe that he, and the care and kindness I consistently receive from Steve Strapko, is well worth the trip. In closing, I believe you will find Dr. Strapko to be incredibly capable, caring, and forthright while treating your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Srapko is warm, kind and direct. He knows his craft extremely well. Communicates and provides options. Provides his input and experiences but does not make the decision. That he leaves up to you. He looks for methods to avoid surgery. I would not hesitate to provide a recommendation based upon his in office demeaner. He will educate you about the subject matter in terms that you can understand. If you don't understand he will try another way until you understand.

Thorough, expert, frank
Dr. Strapko was well-informed about my six-year history of struggle with neck, shoulder and now elbow pain. His diagnosis was thorough and well explained, and he was frank about the treatment approach. He explained options that would be ineffective and the challenges that would be posed by his more promising recommendations.

Great experience all around
Dr. Strapko preformed surgery for carpal tunnel on both my arm. In our I initial appointment he gave me a very detailed explanation of what was going to happen in surgery. After meeting him I was very confident. The surgery was painless and went exactly as I was told it would. The nurses at the surgical center deserve a medal of some sort by the way. Very nice people. I had server carpal tunnel for at least 5 years and it has been completely relieved. I would definitely recommend Dr.Strapko for any similar procedures.
