I started seeing Dr. Straus in September of 2024 for psychiatric medical management. My former psychiatrist had been most helpful to me, but he retired. Thus, I was apprehensive about the transition. However, I have found, given that medical management psychiatric visits are only 20 minutes, Dr. Straus insightful, responsive and willing to entertain my questions about psychiatric issues I don't understand. Within the time constraint, I would highly recommend him.
My OBGYN who is leaving NS referred Dr. Herman. This was after I had to report Dr. Joshua Straus to the medical board, due to the fact that I confronted him about ripping me off my meds, attempting to change every single one, and told me that he has “more important patients who are suicidal to deal with, and he does not know why I am calling him, and that if I felt that he put me in harms way to report me to the medical board”. I did. This was July of 2023. I called on January 16, 2024 to have a change of care, the reception... read more
Dr. Straus is incredibly insightful and caring; he gives plenty of time and explains everything as well as any medical professional I've ever seen.
Exceptional care. Treats patient as a whole with medical complexities. Works well with neurology and pain medicine Dr to treat the causes of depression and anxiety in patient with chronic illness. Compassionate thoughtful and wise. Been thru several Psych’s with my husband. Dr straus worked hard to get him help at a very good inpatient facility. Looked for resources for me as a spouse. Genuinely cares about both my husband and myself.
In my first meeting with Dr. Strauss, he *understood* me. That is hard to do in a first meeting, but he went on to refer me to another therapist to help with a separate issue, and I am looking forward to my next appointment with him.
I am very thankful for Joshua. Joshua, was very patient and knowledgeable. He offered me a variety of ways to help on multiple different mediums, in addition to prescriptions. Most of the Psychiatrist I have met just force medications. He is actually invested in helping people. It seems like he truly cares. I would highly recommend him and his expertise to those struggling with emotional issues. Appointment scheduling was easy as can be. Using the NorthShoreConnect App. Or, by easily calling the office. You may have to wait ... read more
I barely survived this doctor. I cannot believe that he is still allowed to practice. He indefensibly prevented me from being able to receive care through the NorthShore University Healthcare System where he works out of. I am sharing my experience to warn others about this Quack.
Waited for months for an appointment and he was late but his office had reached out so I was understanding. Second appointment he didn't show up until I called his office - he was an hour late. Third and final appointment he again didn't show up and then tried to explain it away by telling me how busy he is! Yeah, I'm busy too but I don't routinely schedule appointments I can't keep! When I told him I would no longer need his services he said, "good luck finding someone else with your insurance." He should not be allowed to ... read more
Dr. Straus is wonderful - he has helped me immensely and given me insights into my issues that no other therapist has. Coping skills, medication information, how to deal with traumas in a new way, it has all helped me a lot. I highly recommend Dr. Straus.
