As a therapist of fifty years, I prefer to work with a doctor who listens carefully and patiently to my issues and then takes the time to explain the reason for those issues and finally sets a course to address and correct them. Dr. Carey Strom is just such a doctor. When I came in to see him, I was so impressed as he had thoroughly read my entire chart and could speak cogently to my concerns. He takes the time to get an overview of all the disparate pieces of the puzzle and pulls them together to make sure that every area is being addressed in the best possible way. Hence, I feel that he is exceptional at managing my healthcare in a very competent and thorough manner.

Dr. Strom has been my doctor for 33 years. I met him when I was admitted to the hospital and he was the attending gastroenterologist. From the very first encounter with him, I knew I was in good hands. Before I met with Dr Strom, several other doctors had come into my room and given me information and advice that put me into a state of panic. I was confused and scared. Later that day, when Carey Strom walked into my room, I knew immediately that I would be ok. He was relaxed, comforting, and reassuring. He made me very calm. His expertise and demeanor was exactly what I needed. He cares about his patients – really cares! He is not only my doctor but a friend and a trusted advisor. No ego, no attitude, just time to help guide and navigate me in making what can often times be difficult medical decisions. Best doctor I’ve ever had – I mean that sincerely, no hyperbole here.

You are in good hands with Carey Strom MD. During an appointment he reads all your previous charts in front of you while his assistant takes notes BEFORE he examines you and then involves you in a discussion. He never rushes you and gives you his complete attention. Translating the medical jargan that makes us more stressed out he replaces your anxiety in language you can understand and answers all your questions in a calm and soothing voice. You feel that he is a family member that cares about you. Nothing better than that

Growing up in Australia where I had the benefit of a “family doctor” that made house calls, I was shocked on moving to the US nearly 40 years ago, how challenging it is here for the average person to access good quality medical coverage and service. For the average American, the ability to find a doctor, who in a moment of crisis, is available to answer all of your questions in a timely manner and show compassion while being given the “straight scoop” without being passed on to an underling who can’t really provide the information the patient and family really need, is a significant issue. I have been fortunate to be a patient of Carey Strom at a time when I needed a level of assurance and treatment from someone who is not only a great doctor but also someone who genuinely cares. The creation of a new advocacy group with the involvement of people like Dr. Strom, that will focus on the needs of so many people at a time in their lives when they are most vulnerable, could not be coming soon enough and has my complete support and endorsement.
