I came to Northwestern because I wanted to be in a teaching hospital. I selected Dr Stricsek based on his record and could not have been more pleased. He was easy to talk to and addressed all my concerns. He never rushed, giving me his full attention. He discussed his decisions on the surgeries with me in detail so that I knew what to anticipate. I would definitely recommend him to any family or friend needing a spinal surgeon.

Dr. Stricsek is very conscious physician . He checks all the facts given to him by other physicians, then he does his own research and order tests before he he informes the patient his own findings. I am happy to be among his patients.

I want to personally thank him for taking the extra time to me to discuss my findings. He also gave me advice on how to move forward with anyone recommending surgery for my condition.

Dr. Stricsek too the time to review some of my records beforehand and made sure all my questions were answered. I appreciated that I did not feel rushed. When he didn't know the answer, he provided me with the right people to visit next. He seemed genuinely interestred in helping me.

Dr. Striczek is very pragmatic. He set the expectation bar very medium and so I'm thrilled with my progress.

Dr. listened to me. What I told him was important to him. At no time did I ever feel like I was being talked down to or just a number or a paycheck. Doctor was amazingly precise explain things clearly and making sure that I understood what we were doing and why. His team has the utmost respect for him and he has the utmost respect for them. The care I received from him was just simply over the top wonderful. I'd also like to add, that when the surgery was said and done, and I had gone home, with only follow-up visits afterwards, his team answered my calls, returned my calls, checked to see how I was doing. It wasn't just while they were in business hours, it was at all times. He left me feeling as though not only did I have a future I didn't have to take all the steps by myself.

Patient, walked through everything with my husband and I very thoughtfully. Didn’t try to push surgery at all. Really felt like he actually cared.
