Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Have been coming to here for many years. Totally trust Dr Strelow and his staff. Would not even consider going anywhere else.

Have been seeing Dr. Strelow several years and very impressed by his level of knowledge and skill. He is very kind and explains and answers all my questions. Dr Strelow is a very good doctor. I had cataract surgery and my vision improved by at least 200%

Dr. Strelow is very much a perfectionist and the actions of his staff reflect that. Everyone at his office is professional and respectful. He recently performed surgery on my left eyelid which was virtually painful and healed perfectly. It is so nice to be associated with a doctor who really cares. Always a great experience at his office.
