Dr. Straight and staff are the utmost professional. Called for an appointment and they scheduled me within two days.
Thorough, efficient and good communicator.
He helped me stay calm when I was frightened of the drainage into my knee. Had great bedside manners.
I like that he listens and is able to give injections without all the fear.
Love this guy and his staff ❤️
He is as his name says “straight”. I like when someone lays it all out there for me. He is a fast talker but seemed very thorough with options for me.
Friendly and competent!
Great job as usual!! Dr. Straight is fantastic!
Always upbeat actually cares.
Compassionate. Thorough. Highly recommend!!
