“Nowadays, it is hard to find a surgeon who has brilliance, skill, compassion and also a sense of humor but this is exactly what you get when you meet Dr. Straznicka. She performed a minimally invasive procedure on me in order to remove a cancerous node. She checked me several times post-op and she has a great bedside manner. She is a true healer!”
