La mejor
The Doctor I saw was rude, did not explain anything to me clearly, did not want my family history when I asked. Was very short with me, and told me I was never diagnosed with an illness I have been diagnosed for over 10 years.
She's very knowledgeable, direct, and no nonsense in figuring out what's wrong.
Excelente todo me lo explica muy bien
Great
She was very nice and very helpful
The was very thorough during the visit.
Very kind and patient
Went about and beyond with there care
Always excellent visit , I love Dr Strahle, very kind and caring
Wonderful care and personality!
Thorough!!! She did a quick hands on exam. Some docs act timid like they don't want to touch a black person. This young doc was all in 100% committed when looking and listening.
As a new patient who waited months for my initial appointment I was disappointed my first visit. Im from over 2 hours away and the Doctor didn't review my records or prepare in any way. Then she said she couldn't access them. I had them electronically sent as well as brought a disk. She refused the disk. Said she could take it. My follow up was more of the same. She still hadn't reviewed my records and seemed dismiss me. I expressed my concerns and told her it was sad woman are treated this way especially by other women. She was short with me trying to explain my symptoms and I left feeling defeated.
My recent visit was my 2nd time seeing her. I wasn't impressed the first time and thought I would try again and still not impressed. She seemed to be all over the place and not able to focus. It appeared she really didn't have good bedside manner as a doctor especially with someone who has a chronic illness. The visit seemed very rushed and lack of empathy to what was going on with me.
Dr Strahle is always e and explains everything clearly
Warm and friendly and thorough
My care provider is excellent.
She always does a great job.
Very thorough
It was a follow-up appointment. She sat in front of the computer and acted like she didn't know when she saw me last and what had been done. She never assessed me. But decided I did not need to come back to see her again.
Very good
Dr Stahle was superb - she listened carefully, made recommendations, but made sure I was involved in decisions
She said she only had a short time to give me didn't want hear any issues
Didn't feel like my concerns were taken seriously just you don't have this specific thing so nothing we can do.
I felt like my provider did not listen to my concerns or interests in other research. She walked into my appointment with bias from my medical records and was only intent on prescribing the standard treatment for my condition. I wanted to discuss other options but the response was no and no explanations. I did not feel heard and left frustrated.
Pleased with care! Good job
Very good experience
Intelligent, respectful, took the time to work together with me
Dr. Strahle is a wonderful practitioner. I was thrilled when she became full time at OSU after her residency. I have utter confidence.

This was a first time visit with Dr. Strahle and that is why she did not have all of my medical records.
My physician ordered appropriate bloodwork and referred me for a needed neurology test.
Doctor Strahle is compassionate and cares about all of my pain related diseases.
Dr. Strahle is an excellent physician
Very good
Dr. Strahle was wonderful. She spent a great deal of time making sure she understood my situation as a new patient. She ordered tests and commented on the results quickly. I believe she is very knowledgeable and I am confident in her conclusions and the next steps that she prescribes.
All good
Provider is very dismissive and seems to assume I don't know enough about my health, despite my credentials in healthcare.
Fantastic
Dr. Strahle is the best at listening, answering questions and generally providing a good overview.
Dr Strahle has been a great help in tying together my platelet ITP issues and my Rheumatology diagnosis,.
I felt like she wanted to move on to the next patient. She didn't feel connected to me as I explained my arthritis symptoms. It almost felt like she thought my case wasn't bad enough to see her.
Every experience that I've had from the first time I met Dr. Catherine Strahle to present, has always been absolutely pleasant & reassuring. Dr. Catherine Strahle will do her absolute best to make sure living my best life.
Dr. Strahle is the best rheumatologist I have ever been to, and I have had many excellent rheumatologists in my lifetime. Dr. Strahle is extra special. She is no nonsense, yet very approachable, a great listener, patient, understanding, and kind. She is extremely detail-oriented, thorough, and efficient. She is more than knowledgeable. I think she is brilliant. I cannot be more thankful for her and to her. What an extraordinary physician and outstanding individual!
All was good except she did not really understand why I was there or even my history of an important test result.
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Easy to understand her concerns.
Very professional. It was obvious early in the visit that I didn't have any of the diseases that she treated. She still ordered tests to make sure.
She did zero in on the most important matter at hand & was clearly familiar with my history.
I felt like my concerns were addressed.
All good She is trying to diagnose what type of anti immune disease I have. My -Dermatologist thinks it is lupus l
Great interaction! Very friendly and responsive to questions. Great listener, easy to work with.
All good
Doctor was genuinely concerned with my health and wants to help me.
Dr Strahle is a wonderful Dr, she knows her stuff
The doctor had her student do most of the talking. I felt she wasn't really listening and when I read the chart note it confirmed she did not hear what I had to say.
Catherine Strahle was very helpful in her efforts to pinpoint my concerns and listened to my many questions.
It was my first appointment with Dr and I had lots of symptoms and questions and she was thorough in symptom questions and she gave me opportunities to voice my concerns. It always nice to be heard and she did a great job I finally feel like I may get some direction on diagnosis and treatment
Knowledgable; friendly
She was wise and somewhat understanding.
Nice, very gentle and great to communicate with
OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE
Helps me if I have a problem of concern. It was a
She seemed concerned at first, checking the strength in my legs. I explained the pain in my muscles in my thighs. I already know my sciatica is an issue but was concerned with the pain and loss of muscle use in my thighs. She had no regard for my intense pain I have been having for almost a year. She then ordered blood work and a painful nerve test. Just seemed as though she wasn't hearing my muscle pain and weakness. I am putting the nerve test on hold. Pain on top of pain Is something I cannot do right now.
Very thorough determining where to place the injection
Wonderful young lady represents OSU Well
Catherine is a wonderful, caring physician.
Dr Strahle was very professional and has a vast knowledge about my medical issues. Very impressed with her, and her concern for my health

Very knowledgeable about my problem, good listener and encouraging.
The Doctor was very attentive to my condition and complaints.
The overall staff from the doctor, nurses to the receptionist were very friendly and also carried their self in a very professional manner.
She was carefree in the visit. Not really engaged or concerned. She's not super in depth/holistic.
As first visit-she was caring and helpful making sure to get to know me
Dr. Strahle is wonderful. As most OSU docs, she really listens.
