5.0 star star star star starAppointment was on time. Staff was very friendly. Both Dr Strong and his nurse Angela spent lots of time with me and answered my questions. Dr Strong has a clear communication style and is personable.

5.0 star star star star starThis was my first time meeting Dr. Strong and so far I am impressed by him. From what I can tell he really understands my health situation and the issues I have. He explained everything very clearly and thoroughly. He didn’t jump straight to surgery and wants to do tests so he can see what is going on before he gives me his opinion on it, which I really appreciate.

5.0 star star star star starHe makes the visit very satisfactory with his thoughtful yet efficient bedside manner. I had a follow up visit for anorectal abscess and he made sure that I did not feel exposed for unnecessarily long period of time during incision and drainage procedure. The entire procedure was very quick and as painless as possible. Cannot recommend Dr Strong enough

5.0 star star star star starHe is very experienced and well educated. He told me upon my questioning, he has been with Northwestern Medicine and before that the Cleveland Clinic. He did not rush to a surgical solution and wants more research and examination to be done first and then make a decision.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Strong read thru my medical records going back 20 years in order to familiarize himself with my medical history. He asked in depth questions and conducted a thorough physical examination. He gave me a detailed explanation of his plan corr me.

5.0 star star star star starIt is truly exceptional with top of the line everything, I am just a little far so I can't give it a 10 necessarily for someone that lives 4 hours away. but I can definitely tell them that if that's okay it's well worth the drive

5.0 star star star star starI've only had an initial experience with the practice at this point. However, what I have experienced has been very impressive. The staff is professional and efficient. They are concerned about me, considerate of me and take the time to explain things and answer my questions. There was very little or no wait time.
