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.

ER visit
He was very abrasive, short tempered and impatient when gathering my history. As he was leaving the room her shouted out some tests he will be ordering. I never saw him again.

Not helpful, did not listen, would not recommend
Dr. Strachan treated me at Twin Cities Hospital ER in November of 2022. Not only did he not listen to my recent disease history, he mocked me with his very flippant and dismissive attitude. I recommend that you see someone else if you are seriously enough ill to be at the ER.

Very flippant and then I guess if he decides he doesn't like you, he enters lies in all your paperwork. Another example of a Dr that doesn't care if you die. He should either change his attitude or find a different occupation. Twin Cities will have lawsuits filed against them if they keep him around. Didn't seem to care if we found out what the cause of my multiple severe bowel obstructions were.

Did not listen to me and misdiagnosed my condition(have had CH attacks for 19 years, verified by 3 different neurologists) as a simple headache. Treated me like a drug seeker and discharged me without adequate treatment. Was told to continue taking sumitriptan, which is not prescribed for simple headaches. He is definitely a serious liability for twin cities hospital and a danger to those unfortunate enough to be treated by him
