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.

Amazing Doctor. Results are fantastic.
I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5. Dr. Straka and his staff are beyond amazing. This was the best experience of my life and I am so happy with the outcome. I had a blepharoplasty with fat repositioning. I am almost 70 and I did not want to continue on this aging path with my eyes. I researched this procedure for almost a year and this is the main reason I am writing to tell everyone it is never too late if you want a change.

Dr. straka is a technician not an artist. If you need a massive change, he seems to be great. Unfortunately, I only needed some tweaking with laser and filler. He gave me a lower bleph which I think was a little too aggressive on one side, but otherwise good. I went to him for some temple and marionette filler, both of which I had to get dissolved dissolved weeks later somewhere else. It was that bad. Not my first foray into fillers so I know the difference between good and bad. His technique in that modality lacks the required nuance.

By the time I consulted with Dr Straka about my seriously sagging eyelids, I had lost over 40% of my field of vision because of them. In order to restore my vision, he recommended not only an eyelid lift but also a brow lift. So in September of 2021 he performed both surgeries. I am thrilled with the results! I can see again without having to almost constantly hold my brow up. And I have an upper eyelid again so I can wear eye makeup. My biggest concern going into this surgery was that the end result would cause me to look perennially surprised. But that is sooo not the case. My eyes look very natural, very like my eyes of decades ago, and I couldn’t be happier with them. I really marvel at his skill. Dr Straka was easy to talk to and he listened well. He was also very easy to get hold of the night of my surgery when I discovered the pain medication he prescribed did not work for me. Bottom line? I highly recommend him to anyone considering this type of surgery.

My experience with Dr Straka has been wonderful, He is so compassionate, and caring. He answers all your questions and is a true artist. He fixed my botched eyes that was done by another surgeon. I had a skin pinch blepharoplasty and a canthoplasty. He is so very talented what he does. I highly recommend him!!

Dr Straka was patient and thoughtful and spent time putting me at ease. He never tried to brush aside my concerns. He addressed all issues in a timely and concerned manner. The staff is all responsive and very nice. I never had any pain. I required a revision and Dr Straka was amazing. I love my results. My friends are astounded. 2 of them already scheduled procedures with Dr Straka and it’s only been 2 months since my surgery!

I had 100% confidence in Dr. Straka from my first consultation! I was impressed from the moment I arrived for surgery till I was wheeled out to my car! His whole staff was fabulous. I appreciated all the text and follow up from both Dr. Straka and staff to ensure my healing process was on track. I am thrilled with the results.

After nearly a year of hiding behind sunglasses due to previous bad cosmetic surgery with another doctor, I came accross Dr. Straka and instantly felt I was in safe hands. He went above and beyond to help me before I even agreed to go ahead with my surgery and at no point did he try to "sell" himself or his services - something that I had, sadly, experienced with other "top" doctors I had spoken to. I flew all the way from Europe to see Dr. Straka and I'm so glad I did because he has done an incredible job. Not only is he extremely modest about his surgical skill but he is also very kind and so are his whole team! They all went above and beyond to make me feel relaxed and taken care of. Thank you so much to Dr. Straka and your wonderful team, I am so happy to have my eye back to normal again.

I am about 8 months out from my FUE hair transplant with Dr. Straka and I am thrilled with how everything is going. The hair is coming in perfectly jsut as I wanted. The entire process from the initial consultation to the surgery itself was great. I never felt like just another customer like you sometimes feel at other hair clinics. There were no gimmincks or pushy sales tactics which I liked. Dr. Straka was informative and easy to talk to so I felt very comfortable with him and his approach. With Dr. Straka and his team, you will be taken care of and will get the highest quality care available.

I am exceedingly happy with the work Dr. Straka did for me. He gave me such a good feeling during my consult with him that I felt very comfortable moving forward with surgery. He did my face and neck along with my upper and lower eyelids and brows. It's incredible what he was able to accomplish. It took a few weeks to recover but he explained this to me so I was prepared. Highly recommend him, he and his staff are top notch!

Graves disease left me not recognizing myself, as well as a loss of peripheral vision. I had an upper and lower eyelid lift, orbital decompression, facial fat grafting, and laser resurfacing with Dr. Straka and I chose him because of his wonderful bedside manner and outstanding reputation. I am thrilled with how I look! I no longer look at the person in the mirror with shock. He is an excellent surgeon. His heart and his surgical skill are both 5 stars.

I have long considered cosmetic facial surgery but was always nervous about moving forward. I asked a few doctors who they recommended, especially for surgery around my eyes and I consistently was referred to Dr. Straka. From the first consultation to the last post-operative visit he always took his time, listened to my questions and gave me all of the information I needed. Its not been three months since my surgery and the changes have been remarkable. I look so much more youthful yet I still look like myself. I couldn't be happier. The work he did around my neck and eyes is amazing. Thank you to Dr. Straka and his team of wonderful staff members for their kindness and dedication to this journey I have been on.

My experience with Dr. Straka was top notch. From the start I knew I had picked the right physician. We discussed what was the best for me. I chose upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and laser resurfacing, ptosis repair. My vision has increased from side to side and its wiped ten years from my face. Thanks Daniel.

I had a cosmetic endoscopic brow lift and blepharoplasty about 4 months ago. I have always had heavy brows and eyelids but since the surgery I have been getting compliments daily on how beautiful my eyes are. I'm so happy with my results from surgery. I drove about an hour and a half to see Dr. Straka and the extra traveling was more than worth it. He is kind, down to earth and very good at what he does. I highly recommend him!

I was actually referred to Dr. Straka by anotehr respected plastic surgeon to have surgery because he specializes in the eyes and face. I am so happy I found him! I had a brow and forehead lift, upper and lower eyelid lift and laser resurfacing done by Dr. Straka and am very pleased with how the surgery went. My results are natural yet significant at the same time. He explained to me before surgery that there would be significant recovery time, especially for the laser but that it was worth it. And he was right! Highly recommend Dr. Straka if you are looking for a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon in Columbus!
