She is great with kids from the time my son was born she came to see him in the hospital and was with us the whole way while he was sick, she sent me to the best specialist and help make my baby better within a few months. She is good with everyone and is really nice but the wait time is really long but it is worth the wait .

Both of my children attend her office, when my daughter was born, she was the only doctor that could save my bAby within the whole broward county. The wait is RIDICULOUS, idk if she's the one thats slow or the MA'S but you will be there the entire day if your being seen by her. But besides the pace, she really is excellent!

She is great pleasant, knowledgeable, and caring. I guess that's why the office is usually packed and the wait is more than I have waited in the past(with other ped). Without a doubt she is one of the best.

I went to her when I was younger and sometimes take my younger cousins to her she is just amazing her staff that she choose to work with her seems very proud to work with her and they should be. Great lady If I could still go to her at 21 and older I would.

My daughter has had chronic problems and we had another pediatrician until we switched to Dr. Dorothy. Dr. Straw took the time to show me what was wrong and even explained what she saw and what we were supposed to see. My daughter loves both Doctors at this practice. Dr. Dorothy and Dr. Michelle did whatever it took to get her healthy and even called me on the phone to follow up on her. I waited a bit in the office - but she was well worth the wait.
