Philosophy of Medicine

I approach patients with the same compassion and respect I would show my own family. I emphasize the importance of knowing all the available treatment options and then help them decide which option is best for them.

    Everything went good. Initial appointment was set out 6 months but got in sooner, thankfully as my child needed to see the ENT sooner with his on-going illnesses. And it was a BONUS that we didn't have to drive as far! Instead of 90mi we only had to drive 30mi since he travels. Win, win! Seems like a great doctor!

    Our experience with Dr. Strand was fantastic!! He came highly recommended as an ENT by people around me. During the office visit for my child, I felt listened to, things were explained well, and were not told anything. It was a conversation and I appreciate that. The surgery was very quick and I appreciate all the people involved who scheduled it.

    I was very pleased with my visit to Dr. Strand. He was considerate, gentle and informative. I will definitely use his service again and recommend him highly to others. His nurse was excellent as well.
