Dr. Strategos is the "complete physician". He's extremely knowledgeable, courteous and always answers all my questions. He follows up and lets me know the results of my tests and what to do as a result of them. I know he has a lot of patients to see, but I never feel rushed or ignored. What I do feel is very fortunate and blessed that I have such a great physician caring for me.
