Dr. Strain is an experienced professional with very good patient relation skills. He is timely and knowledgeable. He would rather look for options on your injuries rather than going to surgery immediately. He was pleasant and explained very thoroughly what was going on with my knee. Would highly recommend him!

Dr Strain is a fantastic surgeon. He performed my meniscus surgery. During diagnosis, he explained all the things; my surgery was a success; and follow up appointments were thorough. I would highly recommend Dr Strain to all who are needing an orthopedic surgeon.
