He tells it like it is,explains things and if you don’t quite understand he will find a way to explain in another way.He’s not afraid to tell you if your failing yourself and explaining what your doing wrong and different ways to approach your problems.
Would have rated exceptional if available.
Perfect
DR STRAUSS ALWAYS LISTENS TO YOUR PROBLEMS, AND EXPLAINS IN A WAY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. I HAVE NEVER LEFT WONDERING WHAT IS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE MAKES SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED, AND YOU DON'T LEAVE THE OFFICE WITH UNANSWERED QUEATIONS

Excellent
Front deck check-in staff SHOULD NOT be asking questions related to vaccine status or even anything CoVID related anymore. This is confidential information reserved for my doctor and not for a room-full of the public. Do better and stop checking boxes.
Good visit
Dr Strauss treats everyone like they are the most important patient he has.
We are grateful for the excellent care we receive from Dr. Strauss and the time spent and tests ordered to diagnosis our health concerns and treat them.
Everything went well.

Outstanding Doctor in all respects
Same thing stated earlier. I will say the staff have and have always been very professional in the process. A special shout out to Christina. She always answers the text messages I send through the my chart process in a timely fashion. I do take special effort to not over abuse the text process but what an exceptional way to communicate going forward.
I was lost on where to go but it only to a minute for a passing by nurse to ask if I was lost and explain where I needed to go.
Dr. Strauss is the best!
Dr. Strauss has been my doctor for over 40 years.. He has helped to keep me healthy.

Long time patient and would go no where else.
Dr. Strauss take the time to treat his patients with the utmost respect.
I think he is tired of my anxiety and thinks I don't want take my medicine (new medication). Wanted for him to hear me out. Have been given 2 new diagnosis but it hasn't been explained to me clearly. See my chart on last message I sent. I am not doing any better but don't want to reach out.

My health is my business and Mark always answers questions and makes sure I understand why new meds or a procedure is needed

Agreed to take on my husband as a new patient after problems with his health provider.
My husband and I are grateful to be under the care of such a caring physician.
The best doctor.
Just to let them know thanks for the excellent care that I have come to expect from each of them.
Never seems rushed to leave and go to next patient
You do not need to worry about Dr. Strauss and his patients or his practice. He always gives his best and spends whatever time necessary to treat his patients. I leave my appointments understanding any health issues I may have and how to treat them. You are fortunate to have him.

Nurse and Dr. Strauss listened to the reasons for my visit.
My physician was very helpful and did a lot to investigate what was going on with me.
Dr. Strauss discussed all my concerns.
He's the BEST!
Already shared in previous about how wonderful Dr. Strauss is.
BEST MORE EXPERIENCED DOCTOR I EVER MET
The front area where the receptionists are is not very private. The person next to me could hear my info and I his ! Not good. Very impersonal area. You need to have more privacy. The chairs are also too close together.
All the changes did not go smoothly. So glad I was not sick for those first 2 months. Seems to be improving
Tells stories and self-deprecating jokes that make his patients very comfortable.
Just saying due to obversations while waiting....a guy at the front desk talks way too fast for his clients. Many are hard of hearing and just talking louder does not remedy the problem for them.
Trust him with all my health cares.
It was a great check up
Dr. Strauss and all his team are the best I've ever had!
Keep up the good work!
Excellent care from Dr. Strauss and his staff. That is why I have been a long time patient. Over 30 years.
Dr Strauss and his nurses are the best!
Love my Dr

Good service
Best Dr I ever had. The only reason I stay
A true practitioner of the Art & science of medicine.
Glad he's my physician!
the most caring physician I've known!
Dr Strauss is amazing!
I wish he had an office to go to to talk with his patients about results etc. sitting in the room in a gown and with an assistant present is not conducive to good doctor patient communication.
We will stay with Dr. Strauss as he has been our doctor for 40 years. The management end needs to improve for me to stay with this group if he was not there.
Dr. Strauss is excellent in every category.
Mark Strauss is an excellent physician
Dr. Strauss is my medical doctor whom I greatly consider a brilliant man in the medical profession. I have great respect and love for Dr. Strauss. I know my physical heath is very important to to Dr. Strauss.
Hopefully this transition to the new facility will get better and not have to go thru a 100 question to get care for you and your family
Dr Strauss is great. It is just getting through the maze to get to him.
Contacting the office by phone is problematic in talking to a live person and not a machine. Return calls are very slow in happening.
Dr. Strauss is a wonderful doctor.
THE best GP I have ever had.
Excellent care and gives full attention and support
He is the best doctor I ever had.
The employees are as stressed and confused as the patients. You have good people but terrible executives….but this is nothing new.
Very knowledgeable and courteous.
excellent doctor
Always a good experience. Comforting to be in the hands of such competent providers.
Dr. Strauss and his nurses took excellent care of me. Thank you!!!
Dr Strauss has saved my life and gives the best personal care to all of his patients. His staff is attentive and caring.
