Dr. Strickland is the by far the best provider I have had the pleasure to be the patient of in my life. Her bedside manner far exceeded any expectations I ever had, and she puts her patients at ease. She makes all of the patients feel warranted in how they feel and she listens so well.

Dr. Strickland consistently goes above and beyond for me and my care. On two separate occassions she has gone out of her way to create appointments for me, just to ease my mind. It was so wonderful of her to be willing to see me to try to do the Doppler heartbeat again, even though she could have had me wait until my next prenatal appointment in a month. When the doppler still didn't work, she did not hesitate to break out the ultrasound to help give me peace of mind and a wonderful little momento.
