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.

Capable and courteous doctor and office staff
I've seen Dr. Strauchler over several years for shoulder and knee pain. He and his staff have taken good care of me, and my pain was nearly gone. Also, his staff seems very capable in dealing with insurance requirements.

Great Doctor - Cares about his patients.
He does a thorough exam, finds out what is needed and then takes care of you. He managed my care and sent me to a great physical therapist, then reevaluated my condition. I could just feel myself get better and knew he had my back. (Sorry, Orthopedic humor)

I was recommended to Dr Strauchler from a friend because I was having hip, back and leg pain for a year. I did a few weeks of PT but needed to see if the problem was serious. The moment I walked into the office, I received nothing but a friendly vibe. The staff was warm and comforting and Dr Strauchler is funny, informative and thorough. After my checkup, it was decided that I get a cortisone shot and since that time I’ve had no pain. My follow up visit resulted in a diagnosis of bursitis and I was given exercises to do and a return to the office as needed. I would highly recommend Dr Strauchler to anyone who has orthopedic issues.

I have been a patient of Dr. Irving Strauchler for at least 25 years. He has guided me through numerous orthopedic conditions over the years, including four arthritis-related surgical procedures. Dr. Strauchler is caring and compassionate. Most recently, he’s guided me through a painful lumbar spinal stenosis diagnosis, recommending an excellent physical therapist and the right medication in the right dosage for nerve pain. I followed his guidance and am now feeling much better. Dr. Strauchler’s nurse, Jane, as well as the front staff, all reflect Dr. Strauchler’s ethics and integrity.

He has callus attitudes. On my visits to his office, he talked about irrelevant materials such as my birth country than my pain. He was not available when I needed him. I was in excruciating pain when I called his office and the answering service contacted him. At that point, his response was, “I don’t know you and cannot do anything”!! Obviously, I was in his list of patients otherwise his answering service would have not contacted him. The end of the call he said that make an appointment with

Very disappointing. He was following through with helping me successfully after an injury until my last follow up with him. He has become a lot more rushed and increasingly moody. He outright refused to examine my joint this time. He didn't care and said he would take my word for it if I felt 100%. I was shocked. Instead he made such a big deal over a really minor and unrelated issue and ordered unnecessary testing for that. I feel like he doesn't have it anymore and may be losing it.

Dr. Strauchler is the best! He has helped me and my husband for many years, always avoiding surgery, and we have absolute confidence in his skill and judgment.

I have been seeing Dr. Strauchler for 15 yrs plus for hip and lower back pain. He is courteous, professional, brilliant and has a great sense of humor. I have tried the circuit of pain centers with little or no results, and I always go back to Dr. S for help. With his many years of experience, he seens to think "out of the box" and can hone in on the diagnosis that other doctors have missed. I esp love his fine staff, Tina and Nurse Jane, who have helped me w information and scheduling.
