Dr. Strain takes care of everyone in my family and is an outstanding provider. She takes the time to listen and really cares about her patients. We couldn't have asked for a better provider for our family.

I have been unable to get information from a radiology history corrected that could adversely affect my care plan. When my doctor assigned her MA to contact them right after my appointment, I got an immediate response from the third party radiology department.

Dr. Strain and the Johns Hopkins Odenton Clinic are wonderful. Dr. Strain has worked very hard to help me bring my A1C down below 7 and ensure I do the preventative tests and vaccinations to try to stay as healthy as possible.

My provider asked me relevant questions about my health and helped me get all the information organized in order to manage my health issues. It made me feel much better than when I was overwhelmed by so many details about my recent illnesses.

Great doctor

I love Dr. Strain. She is always professional, always respectful, and she really listens to me. She knows I used to work in healthcare and she never talks down to me. She doesn't have the ego problems that so many doctors have that I hate with a passion. She is intelligent, pleasant, and well-spoken. I have to move and I am really going to miss having her as my doctor so much.

Dr. Strain and her team at Odenton are simply superb. Dr. Strain knows my medical history better than I do and talks through how we want to approach any issues. She--other than my significant other--is my biggest health supporter. :) I very much appreciate and respect Dr. Strain's knowledge and bedside manner.
