Medical Clinics near Delmar

“I have been a patient at the Stram Center for just shy of a year and a half, and what has happened during that time is truly unbelievable. While I am not completely back to where I was before Lyme disease, compared to where I was when I first walked through their doors, the progress has been incredible.

When I first arrived at the Stram Center, I had been completely undiagnosed and dealing with Lyme disease for over a year without knowing it. I could barely walk, had extreme difficulty speaking, terrible vision issues, and a long list of other symptoms. At the time of writing this review, all of those symptoms have improved dramatically. I am on track to living the life I had before Lyme disease. My recovery is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when.

While I may not have had the most severe case the Stram Center has ever seen, I certainly have had one of the more complex and stubborn cases. Despite that, they have never stopped working to help me improve.

The Stram Center is truly second to none. I have been to many medical facilities over the years, and none of them even come close. From Dr. Stram himself to the person cleaning the building after hours, every member of the staff is professional, compassionate, and dedicated. Their only goal is helping people regain their health and quality of life. You can genuinely tell the staff wants to be there. Their compassion, positivity, and professionalism are unlike anything I have ever experienced in healthcare.

The staff makes every reasonable accommodation possible and truly works on a case-by-case basis to do what is best for each patient, both health-wise and financially. They understand the hardships that come with compromised health. While I wish there were more Stram Centers, I believe their current size is part of what allows them to provide such personalized and exceptional care.

I also took time to read through some of the negative reviews. In my experience, many come from misunderstandings about how complex chronic illness treatment works. The Stram Center had every opportunity to take advantage of my desperation to get healthy and my willingness to do whatever it took financially, yet they consistently did what was best for me, not what would make them the most money. They were always transparent about pricing, frequently found ways to reduce costs, and helped me transition long-term treatments to home whenever possible.

Lyme disease is an incredibly complex illness, and there is often disagreement between providers. None of my previous doctors agreed with my current treatment plan either — but those same doctors also could not improve my condition.

I work as a firefighter, and I would not write a review like this lightly or dishonestly. No healthcare facility is perfect, and mistakes can happen anywhere. But I can confidently say the Stram Center is one of the best healthcare facilities I have ever experienced.“

“Colleen O'Keefe is a trusted, knowledgeable, encouraging health care professional. Always feel heard with her.“

“I was there on a very busy day. The parking lot was completely full and I had to hunt for a handicap space. There was only one left quite a distance from the entry. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
Yet, ran like a well oiled machine. Brisk, professional, on time, no surprises. High standard care.“

“I recently met with Dr. Hughes and Dr. Perkins, me and my family have been with Dr. Setzen since the beginning, these 2 doctors were confident, clear and totally relatable. When it comes to surgery, it's about skill, not bedside manner. Knowing Dr. Setzen, he would not accept anything less than excellent. 100% confidence.“

“My 10yo said “five stars” for the pathology and lab services visit today. The blood draw was fast and pain-free with five vials. Thank you!“

“Dr. Lam performed surgery on both feet and provided incredible service. Office staff, especially Donna are always helpful and kind.“

“Dr Krastin is my PCP for several years now. I'm impressed that he is always prepared, has the patient prep for an appointment by ensuring labs are complete, documents updated and all meds are discussed. Then does his evaluation, Kudos to Dr Krastin.“

“Dr. Lee is amazing! He performed laser photocoagulation in both of my eyes due to small holes from lattice degeneration. I was very nervous, but I am so glad I went through with it. He answered all of my questions and was excellent during the procedure. He told me how it was going and was very clear about my results. The pain was minimal and recovery was easy. It went very well and I am so thankful for his expertise and care!“

“I’ve been sick for two weeks and I seen Alison a PA. Very nice, gave me a script. Fantastic physician! Highly recommend??“

“In Acknowledgement of Doctor Oluwaseun Fadairo

Dear Albany Medical Center Team,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care I received during the birth of my child. As a first-time mother, the experience was filled with anticipation, excitement, and a touch of nervousness. However, thanks to the remarkable support and professionalism of your team, my birth journey was seamless and memorable.

I would like to specifically recognize Dr. Oluwaseun Fadairo of the Class of 2026. Dr. Fadairo demonstrated extraordinary compassion, patience, and attentiveness throughout my entire experience. She listened, addressed my concerns with care, and made me feel truly supported every step of the way. The birth of my child would not have been the same without her presence, and I am so grateful for her dedication and expertise. Her calm demeanor and compassionate approach turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one filled with confidence and trust. We need more doctors like her in the world.

In addition, I would like to extend my gratitude to Rosa, Olive, June, Emily, and one other wonderful woman whose name I regretfully cannot recall. From the moment I arrived at the hospital, their kindness and professionalism made me feel safe, cared for, and confident in the process.

Thank you once again to Dr. Fadairo and the entire team at Albany Medical Center for making such a profound impact on my birth experience. Your hard work, dedication, and compassion do not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do every day to care for families like mine.“
