Totally wonderful doctor. Operated on both myself for a wrist fracture and my daughter for a complicated hand injury. Marvelous results. Very compassionate and superbly capable.

Dr. Strauch is extremely responsive. He did a super job fixing my finger fracture but he actually listens well and always responded quickly to any questions I had when I called his office. He even called me himself the night before surgery to make sure I was ok. Highly recommended!

I was a pedestrian hit by a car but luckily all I broke was my pinky finger and got a few scrapes. Turns out it was a funny type of break that needed surgery. Dr. Strauch and the hand therapist I saw did an amazing job in helping me get my finger motion back. I have recommended Dr Strauch to many people since then and they have all been extremely happy with his care.

Dr Strauch repaired my shattered elbow. He did a fantastic job and got me back on the climbing wall! He is the only doctor who has ever called me the night before surgery to make sure I was fully prepared. A true gem of a doctor.

Dr. Strauch really helped me get my thumb moving when I was told it wouldn’t ever move again. He is truly a caring doctor and always called me back whenever I called with a question.

Worst doctor. Made my situation worse. Very passive-aggressive. Stay away.

I came to see Dr Strauch for really bad wrist pain after I had my child. He was so nice and thorough and now my wrist pain is gone and I can pick up my baby again!

Great Doctor! But wait time at the office is Crazy and not fare. before every appointment you have to take an Xray and that wait is Approx an Hour. Then you still have to wait another 45 min till you see the doctor. Bottom Line A simple appointment kills a half a day.

He saved my hand/wrist from a bike accident. He's very caring and professional. He made me feel at ease and I feel very lucky to find him.
Thank you so much Dr. Strauch!

Dr. Strauch is a fantastic highly skilled hand & elbow surgeon! Not to mention he is also a medical researcher, publisher & educator at Columbia Medical School. He repaired distal bicep tendon ruptures on both of my arms with ease & excellent results. He has a great personality & takes the time to answer all your questions & concerns. I wish he specialized in other orthopedic areas (other than hand & elbow), I would see him again in a heartbeat!

Great doctor! I was told I would need surgery for elbow tendonitis and he gave me some exercises to do instead. He said it would take a few months to go away and it did. So grateful.

Can't say enough great things about Dr. Strauch. I was referred to him for my complicated wrist fracture. He explained everything and I knew what to expect after surgery. Everything went as well as I could have hoped. He has me back to playing the piano!

Dr. Strauch was terrific. He took his time, explained everything in detail, patiently answered all my questions. His staff are friendly, caring and professional. He personally calls each patient the day before surgery, which is very comforting. If you need to call with questions or concerns you immediately are speaking to someone who can help. I felt I was receiving the best of care the entire time.

Dr. Strauch did a fantastic job on my bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery. His entire team is supportive & friendly. Dr. Strauch explained the entire procedure to me, made me feel comfortable and not just like another patient - he has excellent bedside manner and is a true professional.

when no other doctor wanted to take my case because it was too difficult, DR Robert Strauch came to my rescue . I injured my hand on a construction site fall of one story. I went to 4 different hand specialist and they all said it was beyond their expertise. Dr Robert Strauch was the one who took me in,explained the operation and condition of my hand. He took his time with me,never rushed and let me ask all the questions that I wanted. It turned out to be a six hour operation. i fully recover

I had carpal tunnel syndrome requiring surgery. I would routinely get awakened at night with severe pain in my hand. Dr Strauch explained everything about the Carpal Tunnel and the surgery. He was very pleasant and caring. He personally called me on Sunday the day before the operation to reassure me and make sure I had no questions. After surgery I had no pain and the hand pain at night was gone. I did not even need 1Tylenol. 1 month later there is virtually no scar. He and Columbia were great !

Dr Strauch did a thorough exam on me and suggested a non surgical treatment which cured my trigger finger. I am delighted!
