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 physician
I saw him back in the late 80-90’s with numerous weight related co-morbidities. His skills as a surgeon are on point. His bedside manner is extremely comforting. He is such a positive person to have caring for oneself. I have often considered making the move to return back to him as my physician. Keep doing what you are doing Dr. Streeter because it really looks good on you, Sir!

I was told by the office staff, when I called, that the doctor would call me after he received the results of a MRI. The day I received info on My Chart I called again and was told the doctor would call me. It will be a month this week and I am still waiting for the doctor to call. No, I would not recommend Dr. Streeter. The results were not consistent with his evaluation so don't know if that's why I've not heard from him.

I was referred (by my regular MD) to Dr. Streeter nd his wife Julie (a nurse practitioner) for hormonal BioTE pelleting. I've been dealing with undiagnosed issues for 12 years including severe muscle & joint pain, no sleep, brain fog, high inflammation lab results, and low sex drive. I am now getting BioTE pelleting and within 24-48 hours all my symptoms began to resolve! My life is back! I also see Julie for non-invasive allergy testing & treatment. A lot of my allergies are getting better!

Dr Streeter is a doctor who cares. Very rare to find a doctor that looks for overall health and not just the symptom. I would highly recommend him in any capacity as a general doctor for overall health or surgery. He has changed my life in a matter of weeks.

We only saw Dr. Streeter once but every time have gone since see the Nurse practitioner. Yes they are very friendly and a very busy office. Only issues with the office is the push for using non tested natural products, when calling it takes forever to get someone and if we do and ask for a call back it is never done and last is constant issues with the bill. We call they say will take care of it and call back when done but never receive a callback.

Years ago I took my son in for severe stomach pain in the lower abdomen. We went to 3 other doctors prior to seeing Doctor Streeter. They claimed that my son had a double hernia and due to his age in the state of Indiana he needed to have to have a invasive surgery. We went to Dr. Streeter and he said this was nonsense. My sons muscle density cause the issue. He prescribed Fish Oil and Zinc. I am happy to say that it cured the situation in 2-3 weeks and he has been free of pain for many years.
