Dr. Michael Patrick Strayer, MD

Excellent Dr. Listened to me and explained everything he did and why

Saved my life !

I would choose community over Shannon, just because I've had awesome doctors who've cared about my well being, but this time was different. I don't usually do a bad review. With Dr. STRAYER, I tried to explain to him on how much pain I was in. I asked him if he ever had surgery? He told me it was none of my concern. I said look you don't have to be like that. I just wanted to know because my body hurt as if I have just gotten out of surgery. I couldn't walk I had swelling and pain running through my body from my waist up. He left with out a care after I tried to explain to him what was going on. The staff was awesome. The nurses were so kin, they did run a few test. Long story short. After running tests. He specifically stated that "I don't know what's wrong with you, but I feel like this isn't a medical emergency..." I asked him if he could rule out anything. "It could be the condition you have now... but I don't know..." I asked him... "What do you mean you don't know... I'm in pain… I can't walk I can't sleep or eat..." all he could do was give me the run around. He quickly stormed out of the room. I thought about what he said and I had no words. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW. Dr. STRAYER let me walk out. He sent the nurse in to give me medication for the vomiting and pain. One I felt like he thought I was just there to get off on some medication. That was the vibe he gave me. I was so upset I told the nurse that I didn't want the medication. So I didn't take it. I wouldn't of done anything for me. Ive had the medication they offered me before. I told her that I didn't want any form of medication until he ruled out what was wrong with me. HE could NOT give me a straight answer. He spoke rudely towards me. He walked away from me. He didn't seem to care. So now I'm home in my bed in so much pain that it's keeping me awake my whole body is swollen. He could at least ruled out maybe "food poisoning", "stomach bug" ANYTHING. But HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. So I left. I would be content with a "stomach bug" at least I would know what steps to take. Instead he left me with no thoughts of what I can do to prevent what was going on with me. We are only human, he should of cared. I pray for you Dr. M. Strayer.
