I saw Dr Streeter in 2005 for a tubal reversal. Unbeknownst to me, he attached one ovary to my colon and one to my intestine. After years of misery I ended up having a complete hysterectomy in 2018. I wasn't aware of what he had done until my surgeon was attempting to remove my ovaries.

Sometimes I don't mind the wait, because Dr. Streeter really cares about how you are feeling.

Dr. Streeter has performed two surgeries on me. He removed my gall bladder some years ago and recently performed a lumpectomy with breast conservation along with lymph node removal and insertion of a port-o-cath in my chest. In my estimation, he is an extemely good surgeon and is caring and thoughtful. He explains procedures thoroughly and always follows up to make certain a patient's recovery is going well.

I went in for a biopsy to confirm dx of Stage 3 Lymphoma. At follow up exam when I complained of stiffness in shoulder, sagging shoulder, and unable to raise my arm out to shoulder height, his response was an excited "That was a locked joint, that was a locked joint". I had NO history of a shoulder problem prior to him cutting on me. When I asked if this was a permanent condition he answered with a curt, "I don't know" and rushed out of the exam room. Do yourself a favor and find a much more competent surgeon.

My wife has had two surgeries conducted by Dr. Streeter, and his skill, professionalism and follow-up care were first rate. He made it very easy to contact him personally if a post-op emergency arose. In short, I believe because I prepared mentally and planned ahead to communicate, the experience was very satisfying.
