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 postpartuShow morem 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!
I love Dr. Straker when I first saw him at CMMC while doing my internship. All it took was one look at his mannerisms and I was hooked. It took me a few years to find him though since I didn't know his name. I have been with him sShow moreince and now as a primary care provider, I refer my patients to him. If he's good for me, then he is good for my patients. With all my interactions with Dr. Straker, he has always been warm, approachable, informatiive, pleasant, and puts one at ease even during the most vulnerable and uncomfortable part of the visit. Thank you, Dr. Straker and staff.

Dr. Straker is knowledgeable, has a good sense of humor, and kind demeanor. He makes me feel heard with how he literally sits down to answer all my questions and to provide information. That is extremely important to me.
Punctual, pleasant and caring. This was my experience at Dr Straker’s office. I like him very much and will continue to use him as my gynecologist..I definitely would refer him to anyone looking for a good doctor!
Dr. Straker is an excellent doctor and he is very nice as is his staff.
I had my first consultation with Dr. Straker last week and I was very pleased. He listened to me, answered all my questions, educated me on matters of importance, and made feel heard. All of this without a sense of rush. And his office staff was very kind, well mannered (yes, I wrote that), and made sure I was taken care of. I’m sticking with this doctor.
He is the best !
