“Excellent care”

I like that when I am on the table Dr. Strand warns me ahead of time before he does something to my knees, i.e., cleaning/disinfecting, deadening the area, covering the area, actually injecting the medicine. I only wish he dealt in more 'small talk', but that's okay. He seems to be really concentrating on what he is doing. Thank you doctor. And he has a great, friendly staff as well.

“I felt satisfied with my visit.”

They were nice and professional and listened to me.

“I have complete confidence in Dr. Strand as he helps me with my pain management.”

Dr. Strand and his staff have my full confidence. They are knowledgeable, caring, thorough, and professional.

Absolutely comfortable and reassuring. You can tell Dr. Strand takes pride in what he does and strives for the best outcome for his patients. While he is very professional, he makes you feel at ease when speaking with him and he is very knowledgeable in what he does. One of my favorite doctors.

“Listened to me and made a decision what to do.went”

Take home instructions mentioned leaving my bandaid on for a certain number of hours. There was not a bandaid on the injection site, on my clothes, or anywhere on my body. I'm sure this was a mistake.
Otherwise, everything went smoothly, and I am already without pain.

Looking for ways to ease her pain.

“Good”

Procedure done, pain gone.

“He did a great job!”

I think this is the doctor I saw, he never identified himself but he was great otherwise! and everyone I interacted with was fantastic! My major problem was the building all the entrances were the same and once you got in the building the directory would not tell you where the offices were only who the people were. For movement impaired patients to have to wander around is not a good idea. I did not see a sign with 110A on it until we got to the end of a long corridor. If it hadn't been the right office, I would have had to walk all the way back to the center of the building. I think this is an urgent problem that should be addressed tomorrow. Put up some signage!

“He was straight to the point of why I was there.”

Everything was fine.

From checking to checking out , my visit was smooth and seamless. Not often do you go somewhere and everyone is smiling and engaging.

I have been to a couple of 'pain doctors' in the past other than Dr. Strand. Therefore, I wasn't expecting much, but the pain and numbness in my back, down my legs to my toes drove me to try again. I was impressed to find Dr. Strand didn't immediately prescribe morphine or some other meds for pain. He didn't have me waiting for a long time for an injection and rush me off afterwards.
