Robert Duane Strang's Online Review Report Card

Dr Strang took time out from a very busy surgery day to come to my hospital room and discuss my health situation in detail. Informed me completely. After I was discharged his office called me and again discussed what would be happening with my health during the next few weeks. Dr Strang was so comforting and gave me details of what is happening to my body! I appreciate his honesty and comfort and consideration to me! Judi Miller

Botched a surgery removing a cyst from my Mother's spine. Left her with drop foot and wheelchair bound. Stay far away!

UPDATE (CONT.) I have learned recently that medical malpractice is defined not only by errors and ommissions performed during a physical procedure, but by a physician who elects not to perform duties associated with duly paid consultation(s) where said physician chooses not to follow through with his or her own diagnosis and perform necessary corrective surgery. Rather, this clown got offended with someone who respectfully questioned his poor process of decisions (see Primadonna definition in Webster's Dictionary) and dropped his patient from further medical action. Shame on Dr. Robert Strang and shame on his Diva persona and attitude. UPDATE: Dr. Strang sent me a "Patient Dismissal Letter" today. A doctor I never met (due to his practice of telemedicine) and gave me contradicting versions of what methods would resolve my severe pain? Yeah, that guy. I cannot wait to soon become a Mercy Health System customer//patient and will feel compelled to provide regular updates on Strang's very poor practice of medicine. Other online reviews point out similar disservice to his patients, so I'm obviously not alone. Very sorry to feel compelled to write this review, but I must. Dr. Strang and his P.A. read my MRI and x-rays and articulated very clearly to me that I have rather severe degenerative disc disease,osteophyte formation and obstruction of the exiting nerves in my lower cervical spine. All likely causing tremendous pain in my upper neck and shoulders. He recommended an over-the-door traction device. "Use it for 8 weeks and see how you feel." he said. "If you don't experience improvement, surgery will be the only option to get this corrected." The over-the-door traction helped, but did not alleviate, pain. So I return to Dr. Strang's office to arrange a surgical procedure. He flatly denied the option that he had previously stated was "the only option" and sent me off to see another doctor in his clinic. Nice business plan, huh? Shift patients from one office to another, generate more income for everyone! I get it. So after being denied the procedure I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I need......here I sit, in total pain and horrible discomfort. Thanks Dr. Strang! Thanks for everything!!

First visit, it was clear from the x-rays and MRI that I need surgery. Strang said it'd be the only option to resolve the matter but initially recommended an over-the-door traction device, which helped alleviate the pain. Second visit, I articulated to him that the paid is worse and even reaches into my shoulders on chest. He immediately assumed I have cardiac issues (which is ridiculous) because traction devices don't relieve heart ailments. When I complained of his diagnosis and poor patient service, he immediately dropped me as a patient. I never saw this guy -- both visits were via Zoom -- but I cannot recommend him lower than One Star. Shameful on many levels.

Dr Strang has done three surgeries on my spine, two upper spine fusions and most recently my lower spine. I was slowly losing my ability to walk and now I have full use of my legs. All three of the surgeries Dr Strang did for me improved my life. I can't thank him and his team enough.

Was referred to this “physician” by my doctor and Strang refused to see me apparently believing my radiology reports contraindicated actually being seen. I’ve never met him and I cannot have a lower opinion of him as a provider.

Spoke with clinic today about my daughter, this was via telephone ( covid) . Call was disconnected immediately, only spoke with P.A. Nurse called back and said she needs to loose weight. He refused MRI or Ct and they had told her to strengthen her core. She wears a size 6! She has been in car accident and needs to figure out why she is in so much pain. Waited 6 months for absolutely nothing. Her Dr had referred her to this neurosurgeon because she is thinking that she has injury or M.S. I see other people on here obviously had better reviews, but here is ours.

Yes indeed, he is the best.

Awesome Doctor would highly recommend him.

I don’t know about his skill as a surgeon but he was a condescending jerk when asked to clarify a point about a question.
