I have been with Dr. Straetmans for well over 20 years. He has helped me through a lot of my ups and downs throughout my life. I owe a great deal to him. I highly recommend him.
Odd experience indeed. He asked that I sit facing away from him as he typed on his computer. He rarely asked me questions and seemed to be dictating into his keyboard. After about 20 minutes he says "ok, we're done...come back in a month". So nope, won't be doing that. Other than prescribing some pills he doesn't really do anything.
The Dr. is upfront and deals with you straight on with the 10-15 minutes a month the insurance company pays him to see you.. The guy at the front and answering the phone is absolutely incredulous, rude, uneducated, and should be fired. I have heard him speak horribly to patients on the phone and in the office, sometimes being absolutely hostile to patients where were already in a state of distress. This is unfortunate because the doctor seems to care about his patients. Fire this guy!
I have been with him 20 years after spending several years suffering and hunting for an expert. None better in Atlanta area. Mary runs the office and can be a little short with you but has the best intentions. She is very knowledgeable and fair. She runs a tight ship so the doctor can work. Make an appointment and be there on time if you want to help her do her job.
I have seen Dr. Straetmans off and on for years. Love the puntualness, I have never had to wait more than 5 min. for my appointment. He listens, and is very helpful in finding the correct medication or combination of medication. Very intuitive Doctor.
I would not recommend Dr. Straetmans.
Very good doctor. Seen him for two years. He's cautious with the prescription pad but forthcoming about it. He is sincere and takes a more holistic approach to his treatment (checking blood pressure and weight). He is punctual with his appointment times, and I've never had a problem with scheduling. His staff is not always cheery, but I don't expect that from my doctors. Mary is very knowledgeable and always helpful. I don't believe in 5-star docs, so only giving 4, but would highly recommend.
Dr. Straetmans is very nice and listens to what I have to say. This is different that speaking with a therapist, counselor or psychologist. Psychiatry is about the medicinal aspect, so the visits are far shorter and seem more rushed, but it's really about checking progress and re-prescribing meds. The office staff is extremely nice and polite. There have been times were I thought they were a little spacey, but they are professional and courteous and have helped me with everything I needed.
If you like someone with attitude who doesn't know how to approach clients or providers, you'll have a blast here.
