    HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER

    Dr. Strain was considerate and effective in handing my medical issues in a comprehensive and timely manner. I was pleased with how nice he was to speak with and how he took time to explain things to me-- and showed me videos of my procedure which was really interesting and unexpected! I would reccommend him and his team. I'm happy to have them as my follow up care team.
