I had a great experience with Dr. Straight. He was punctual, thorough in his questions, and provided excellent advice and care. I really appreciated how attentive and knowledgeable he was. I would definitely recommend Dr. Straight at First State Orthopaedics to anyone looking for an orthopedic specialist.
So empathetic and kind. Knew I was in pain and said we will do anything to fix it
Excellent doctor, straight shooter and right to the point.
Great orthopedic surgeon and for the first time I felt like someone actually understood my pain points and was able to come up with a real solution!
Very impressed. Excellent appointment. Diagnosed immediately and received cortisone shot. Entire staff was great.
Thorough, compassionate, and definitely funny! A trait many serious doctors could take to heart!
Friendly and down to earth
