I probably saw the doctor for less than 5 minutes and it felt rushed.
Dr. Straight was professional, explained his thinking and strategy for addressing my issues and more importantly he was personable and had a great sense of humor. Would recommend him without any reservations.
He was great. He explained everything to me.
Very professional knew exactly what he was doing
- real professional 👍🏼💯
Dr Straight after performing a few movement tests on my hip that I was experiencing pain in, knew exactly what was the root cause & it wasn’t my hip but my lower back. He did give me a cortisone shot where I had pain & referred me to get Physical Therapy. I love Dr. Straight’s bedside manner. His is very kind & explains what the issue is in a way that I understood.
Very personable and clearly explained my condition in layman's terms as well as pointed out on my X-ray the issues that are causing pain. I especially appreciate his primary focus on taking a nonoperative approach to manage my issue.
He's very kind doctor,he knows his work
Always a good visit quick and good conversation
Knowledgeable, forthcoming and positive.
