Great doctor! Listens and answers all of my questions.
Dr. Straight was fantastic. Came in looked at my trays and listened to my complaint and knew exactly what was wrong and fixed up my left knee (at least for now). My knee feels so much better and I can walk again virtually pain free.
Always knows how to fix the problem.
He is personable and really listens to you. Answered all my questions and was reassuring.
Friendly, competent, quick and easy. Enjoy both Dr. Straight and his nurse
He’s the best!!!!
Always feel so confident with Dr Straight. He listens so attentively, answers questions clearly, patiently, & never rushes me through my appointments. I can confidently say I would highly recommend him (& his excellent staff). I also wanted to add how easy it is to make appointments via their AI answering system. The wait times have never been long & my husband & I have used this practice for several years.
He was extremely professional and friendly. Dr. Strait really took time to explain everything.
Gave me alternatives with explainations for shoulder pain. Confident and honest
Very nice man. Explains what he is doing in plain English. Easy going and take time with the patient.
