Dr. Michael Alan Stracher, MD

Today I had an appointment with Mr Stracher today at 11am. I came in at 10:20am and was seen 11:30am. This has to be one of the most horrific experiences for me in a doctors office. I was on a call with a friend when I was waiting to be seen. I had one ear bud in and I wasn’t visible due to my hair. I finally get called into a private room where I then sit down to wait for the doctor to come in. The chair has my back facing the entry way of the door. Mr. Stracher then comes in after a few minutes waiting and rudely questions me asking me if im talking to myself with a very narcissistic tone. I then tell him that I am not talking to myself while I look at him in confusion. He then looks at me as if I’m lost and shouldn’t be there for my appointment. He then beings to go back and forth with me when he never even introduced himself to me and explained anything. He didn’t want to do his job and struck me as a very lazy combative doctor. He then tells me that I am a trespasser and that he’s… calling the police on me. Black people and black women DO NOT COME TO SEE THIS DOCTOR UNLESS YOU WANT HIM TO CALL THE POLICE ON YOU FOR SHOWING UP TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. This visit has me emotionally distraught and I wish that on no one. I left this doctors office worst than when I came in! He’s not a good person go see for yourself. When the cops came I told them what happened and they are just as shocked as I am.

I took my son there for a fractured wrist this past summer, and Dr. Stracher was not only knowledgeable and professional, but was approachable and kid-friendly. Made both my son and myself very comfortable. Not to mention, the Fresh Meadows office is very efficient, in and out in 30 mins tops (including x-rays).

DR. STRACHER IS AMAZING. GREAT BEDSIDE MANNERS

I took my daughter to see Dr. Stracher for a thumb injury. Dr. Stracher took the time to listen and evaluate her thumb and put us on a course of conservative treatment to start with - exactly what I wanted for my daughter. He was talented, kind and spoke directly to my daughter, letting her know her concerns were important. When surgery was imminent, Dr. Stracher took his time and great care with my daughter. The surgery and recovery were both a success. I highly recommend Dr. Stracher!

Standard injection to fix this problem - as expected. Communicates respectfully and thoroughly. Examined my hand for any other issues that would affect the treatment, before he did anything. Would see him again. No insurance problems.

The Dr. Stracher has an excellent bedside manner especially with difficult pediatric patients. He is very friendly and welcomes any questions or concerns.
