I checked in and they could not find my original copy of insurance cards left weeks before I waited about fifteen minutes and then brought into exam room while the assistant reviewed my forms she left abruptly after a discussion about my recent medical problem returned after about fifteen more minutes. I could go on ...... the eye exam was really not a full one and bedside manner was a disgrace.

Dr. Strecker has been my Dr for over 20 years now and I can't praise him highly enough. He diagnosed a brain tumor that I had at a regular eye check up that none of my other doctors saw.If it wasn't for Dr. Strecker I'm not sure I would still be alive. I truly believe that Dr Strecker saved my sight and my life!

I love Dr. Strecker!!!!!! He's kind, compassionate and extremely competent. He took the time to diagnose a serious eye problem I was having, that another group of "more high profile" doctors couldn't, He gives me all the time I need when I have questions or concerns.....not a factory like the other big groups in this area. He is worth the wait!!!!!

I love Dr. Strecker because you see him, and only him every time!!!!! Not like those "factory" doctors offices where you are lucky to see "your doctor" and not one of the other "randoms" in the group. He takes his time with every patient and really cares about his patients on a personal level. This practice is a rare find in these times!!!!!

I had eye surgery with Dr. Strecker and I absolutely love the results. I can see better and the staff as well as Dr. Strecker made me feel at ease about the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Strecker and his practice.

I left a large group practice to see Dr. Strecker because he practices medicine the way every doctor should. He has a solo practice, so you see Dr. Strecker, and only Dr. Strecker, every time you visit his office unlike large practices where you are lucky if you see the same doctor twice. He is ethical and honest and really cares about his patients, not making money. Every doctor should be as caring as Dr. Strecker!

Dr. Strecker is a wonderful doctor. After LASIK, I now have perfect vision. My world has complete clarity now that I haven't enjoyed for many years. Dr. Strecker is the best!
