I always have a great experience when I visit. The entire team is professional, caring and compassionate. Dr Straker is truly committed to caring for his patients. He is the absolute best when it comes to treatment and he listens and gives you professional and reasonable feedback
I've been Dr. Straker's patient since 2018. He is a wonderful, kind, patient, thorough, knowledgeable, and caring physician with excellent bedside manners. I've had him for annual checkups, prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care. His office staff is very friendly. My only suggestion, if you choose him to deliver your baby, is to go to St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston. At the other hospital, Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, I had a terrible experience, which I would rate 5/10. Some of the hospital staff I dealt with during my stay were not competent. In my opinion, they should not work with him (be on his team) during any procedure, especially delivery. Thank you Dr. Straker!
