Dr. Straetmans has helped me for a number of years to be very successful. My experience is that he will help you if you are willing to put in the effort, but he will travel at your pace. I highly recommend for anyone who is ready to change some destructive life practices and addictions.

Dr Straetsmans is the first psychiatrist i have had that i feel he truly has my best interests at heart. His wife, Mary and son Patrick are always VERY helpful. Highly recommend this family psychiatrist practice for addiction and treatment. 👌

I transferred from one doctor who couldnt care less (I had a horrible reaction to the meds he prescribed and could not reach him) to Dr. Straetmans. I am thrilled with him. If I dont like something, I can reach him same day. He will listen to whatever I say or question, and give immediate feedback. He is very intelligent and very experienced. I was shocked at my diagnosis, but he must be right as the meds are helping me. He also gave me something for sleep (I dont like this kind of stuff, but he said 4 or 5 hours each night is not enough). I am very sensitive and the next day I was a walking zombie. I had told him I would drop it if it drugged me the next day. But I called him, talked directly to him and he gave me a succinct answer: cut it in half. That worked much better and I may go to 1/3rd, but my sleep has increase by about 2 hours. Hooray!

I have seen Dr. Straetmans for several years. I have had only very positive experiences with himself and the staff. He seems to care about me as a person as well as a patient, and has adjusted medication several times until we found what worked. We tried several medications, so I cant believe (like a few people said) that he would receive kickbacks for all of them or any of them. I cant think of any reason I would want to go anywhere else. The staff are upfront about insurance and what he can/cant provide. So heres the thing: we may or may not like someones personality (in my case,, I find Dr. Straetmans funny and caring), but we go to the doctor to get treatment. Thats the litmus test for choosing a doctor, and I can tell you from experience that he is excellent at what he does.

What type of business has a $100 cancellation fee? I have a cold and tried cancelling my appointment but now I cant unless I want to pay $100.He prescribes good meds but the staff is horrible. Im going to find another psychiatrist.Edit: Most businesses under therapy and psychiatry make you pay a cancellation fee. I don’t agree with it but it’s the way it is. So I’m bumping my review up from 2 to 4 stars. He really does prescribe good meds without trying to just turn you into a medication zombie. He’ll work with you if you let him.

I just called Straetmans office to schedule an appointment a referral from my doctor who retired last week. All I got was what he doesnt do or what medications he only provides or doesnt provide. I feel like...I need a doctor that will listen to me and my needs what has worked in the past and what side effects I have had with medications and go based on that information. Not a doctor who wants to push only medications he gets kick backs from. Heres a thought doctor.....I know more about me than you do!!

Very helpful. Willng to work with different meds for me. Have seen for about 7 years.

Dr. Straetmans saved my life! I went through many doctors while going through a very deep depression and he was able to get me out. I am no longer living in the area but I can not say enough about the impact he had on my life. I know at the time I felt frustration but I was miserable initially. I hope he can work wonders for you too.

Dr. John P Straetmans is just another money grubbingpill pusher a coward afraid to have an opinion. 15 mins.for $150 is legalized stealing.
