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.

Horrible, clueless , had wrong information on me and suggested an entirely new diagnosis from my previous dr- which turned out to be completely inaccurate.

Dr. Strachan has been my doctor for many years and I am completely satisfied with him. He seems to be concerned about my condition, never rushes when I visit the office. He and his staff are very professional. I have never experience any long waiting times when I arrive for my appointments. The last two virtual visits went very well.

Due to Covid-19, for safety, a Telehealth /Phone appointment was done. I am a physician with 44 years of experience in medicine and interactions with physicians and medical staff. I was pleased with our virtual visit. I recommend care with Dr. Michael Strachan. He was professional, competent, intellectual, and cordial.

I have been with Dr. Strachan now for almost 7 years. My pain from gout and rheumatoid arthritis has gone for debilitating and excruciating (level 10) to a level 2. He assisted me in continuing to work until my planned retirement and he has been fantastic in working with me when I switched from private insurance to medicare. His staff is always friendly, professional and willing to listen. The only negative I can say is that since I went on medicare I have been seeing him a little less. I also must now split time with his Nurse Practitioner, who is very capable and thorough, she just isn't Dr. Strachan. Ihave referred

Dr. Strachan and his staff are excellent. I had been on other biologics and he changed me to Actemera. I feel great and my joint damage is almost nonexistent. Many thanks.

It is quite obvious he obtained his medical license at Trump University due to his narcissistic comments. If I could give negative stars I would.

Dr Strachan has made my journey with a chronic illness absolutely TERRIBLE! Horrible bedside manner and will prescribe OTC medicine for debilitating pain. Literally one of the nastiest people I have ever met.

Dr Strachan has been taking good care of me for over 20 years. He is kind and caring. When I first met him, unlike the other Drs I had seen he gave me hope that he would help get my rheumatoid arthritis under control. He did that, I will be forever grateful. I had been told before that I would likely end up in a wheelchair. I am active and enjoying my life.

I have found Dr. Strachan to be very difficult to deal with in terms of appointment setting and communicating with him and his staff. There are a lot of choices out there and I would not recommend him or his practice.
