Everything about my appointment was first class. From checking in to being seen. Dr. Strauss's PA, Shraya Patel, was terrific. Working together, Dr Strauss and Dr Patel paid close attention to my symptoms and at one point when I broke down crying they immediately stopped everything to comfort me. They secured a follow up MRI for me within 12 hours. Dr Patel (PA) phoned me within 3 hours of the results and gave me a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. This was the single best experience I've had with a medical provide... read more

Dr. Strauss is a surgeon possessing skill, good judgement, a positive manor and has a great team. When diagnosing my torn meniscus, he listened to me and showed me what he saw on my knee MRI. He answered my questions, plus was frank and to the point about my options. I felt confident in my decision to move forward with surgery, and surgery worked out well for me. Day after surgery there was pain, but that inside core pain in my knee (I had for 3 months ) was no longer there, gone. At this writing I am 4 weeks recovering, my ... read more

After having my knee misdiagnosed by a five star surgeon in Phoenix, which resulted in severe pain, and almost a total inability to walk, I returned to NYC, and was able get an appointment with Dr. Strauss in a week. He listened closely as I described the knee problem, reviewed the MRI results with me. Explained my options, and why he recommended a specific strategy, which was to be done arthroscopically. A week later surgery took place. During follow-up visit several days later he gave me script for physical therapy, his ce... read more

Dr. Strauss was the first doctor to take my knee complaints seriously. As a 24 year-old woman, a lot of doctors overlooked my symptoms and the complexity of my pain. He didn't. He suggested surgery and biopsy which led to the diagnosis (and cure!!) of my rare condition. I will forever be thankful for Dr. Strauss for giving me knees that finally feel like my own and not those of an 80 year-old.

Dr Strauss was extremely thorough in his evaluation of my shoulder. He asked a lot of questions about my injury and the impact my shoulder issues were having on my activities. We went over my MRI on the computer and he pointed out the tear of my labrum while referencing an anatomy model - making sure I understood everything. Ultimately we decided on surgery which I have scheduled for next week. I am 100% confident that Dr Strauss and his team at NYU will make me better.

I am very, very happy with the care that I received at NYU with Dr Strauss. He saved my knee!! I saw a bunch of other orthopedic doctors and got a lot of different opinions about my problem (dislocating kneecap). Dr Strauss walked me through an operation where my bone would be cut and moved to put my kneecap in the center and held there with a new ligament (MPFL). Dr Strauss's confidence and ability to explain things made all the difference. I am now over a year from surgery and doing great. If you have a knee problem - Dr E... read more

I have had knee issues for a number of years and the pain started interfering with my ability to exercise and play ball. I had two surgeries with a doctor at HSS - neither of which made me better. A colleague at work recommended Dr Strauss at NYU. From the moment he and his team entered the room I was very impressed. He asked me a ton of questions about my knee problem, examined me and showed me all of my xrays and MRIs. Dr Strauss explained to me why my prior surgeries didn't work (HSS guy neglected my bad alignment) and we... read more

Dr Strauss is hands down the best doctor I have ever seen. I dislocated my shoulder playing ball in college. I was told that I needed surgery at the time but decided against it. In the last few years my shoulder has come out of place a number of times - often requiring a trip to the emergency room to put it back. With my unstable shoulder limiting my activities I saw a few orthopedic surgeons and got varying opinions. When I saw Dr Strauss in his office I was blown away by his approach. He introduced himself by his first nam... read more

Dr Strauss is the most thorough and attentive doctor that I have ever been treated by. I tore my ACL and meniscus skiing and was very worried that my injury would keep me from the activities that I love to do. From the moment he entered the exam room I knew that I was in the right hands. Dr Strauss asked me a ton of questions about my injury, my activity level and my goals. He did a thorough examination of my knee, reviewed all of the pictures from the MRI and even took out a model of a knee to show me what structures I tore... read more
