When I was wheeled in for a colonoscopy, Dr. Strong spent a good five minutes staring at his computer before even acknowledging my presence and then introducing himself. Even shop clerks know the phrase " I will be with you in a minute".

Can't say enough about what a great doctor he is. Answered all questions in a way a lay person could understand. My wife particularly liked that he visited when family was there and not early or late when they could not ask questions. He even visited on a holiday, we didn't expect to see him, and called in the late evening to let us know about results of biopsy. Very happy!

Dr. Strong was recommended by a friend who described him as one of those with "God's sent hands"(surgeon jargon?). Yes, he is an excellent surgeon,and more importantly a healer (in the traditional sense). He is caring, good listener and truly dedicated to his patients. I very strongly recommend him to anybody contemplating having a colorectal surgery. Grade: A+
