I came to Dr. Stasser as a second opinion. He has been excellent. He has taken the time to give me detailed explanations of not only possibilities that will work but also others that he didn't feel confident in so to reassure me that he has looked at all possible treatments. He talked to me with respect and gave me the confidence to make the decision about my treatment.

I would highly recommend Dr. Strasser for any foot and ankle injury. He is knowledgeable and personable, as well as flexible. This is my second surgery for my achilles (Slocum did not perform the first one) and this recovery has been significantly better! The recovery protocol is much faster and the whole experience has been much smoother. I also appreciate the billing department for providing an estimate of charges prior to surgery, so there were no surprises afterwards. Great job!
