    Dr. Strain is very caring and explains in detail the results of the MRIs. His caring and positive attitude always put myself and wife at ease. When these yearly reviews of my MRI are due, we are always anxiously awaiting the results. When Dr. Strain treated me in the hospital, he and his staff were constantly checking on me and always explained everything that had been done and what to expect.
