This doctor is opposed to operating at greater depth with cases that carry more perceived technical risk. He appears more protocol driven and more cautious about cases that fall outside “ideal candidate “ profiles. He is self aware of his personal risk tolerances and appears to still be building his clinical judgment. The wait was over an hour to hear that there isn’t anything that FOI can do for me. I had high hopes for this visit.
Kind, understanding and knowledgeable of my pain. Gave me suggestions for pain therapy and set me on the right path for recovery without stress. Gave me hope.
First time going to him. He was attentive, personable, sympathetic, informative. He listened! Hopefully has solved my pain problem. Excellent experience.
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Streufert for my cervical spine surgery. From the initial consultation, they took the time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions, making me feel at ease. I woke up with immediate relief from the chronic radiating pain-and numbness in my arm, neck shoulder to my fingers and post-op care was thorough, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Highly recommended for anyone facing neck surgery!" Not scary with Dr. Streufert. I feel like he saved my life 100%😊 My HERO🤣 Seriously . Thank you Doc.
Listens to my concerns. Never rushes me. I appreciate how he always explains several options for my course of treatment and works with me to choose the best plan for me.
Easy to talk to. Explains what how he plans to procede and why. He reminds me of some of the old doctors. His personal touch shows his patient that he cares.
He took time to help me feel good enough for an upcoming trip.
Excellent, very professional.
Great
Thorough exam, not rushed, answered all my questions.
