The staff were extremely friendly. I had an MRI at an urgent care a few weeks before. My MRI showed bulging disc in my neck, multi-level mild spondylosis, left posterolateral protrusion and mild left foraminal encroachment. Of couShow morerse I’m no doctor so I was hoping he would come in explain what was on my report and give me his advice. When he came in the room, he immediately went to the computer and started typing away and then said what’s going on? He never introduced himself to me. When I said, I’m having neck pain for about eight months now, he looked at my MRI images on the disk that I had brought in and said “ you have a normal neck” I explained it doesn’t feel normal, I have had really bad pain and stiffness for weeks. He said well you have a normal neck and sometimes normal necks can hurt. Ummm, he lost me as a future patient at that point. I also tried to explain that I was having worse pain when I lay down at night to sleep and my hands go numb and he told me “you have carpal tunnel.” He never looked at my MRI report. Never asked me any other questions about what I was feeling. He did ask if I had stress. Who doesn’t! But you don’t have to be a doctor to know stress doesn’t cause bulging disc in your neck. Then he said you don’t need surgery, I wasn’t there to talk about any kind of surgery. I was there to find out options of what I could do to relieve my pain. Surgery never crossed my mind. He said you need physical therapy and you will be fine. He did explain if physical therapy didn’t work that I could come back and see him again and we could talk about maybe doing injections. Which didn’t make any sense to me because he said about 15 times I had a normal neck, so why would I need physical therapy or injections? Total waste of my time. One thing I do agree is yes I probably need to do some physical therapy and see if that helps but his delivery and the way he was so dismissive and kept saying I had a normal neck just really turned me off. I definitely was not impressed. My MRI shows different. MRI’s don’t lie.
Sorry Dr. Strohmeyer, but this last appointment was both disheartening and insulting. You must not have reviewed my chart and my history because most everything you mentioned during our visit was contradictory to all our conversaShow moretions in the past. You specifically told me you would not perform any surgery on me because “I wouldn’t know where to start”. So I go to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville FL, specifically to its spine surgery unit. After multiple screenings, tests, MRI’s and X-rays, the Clinic’s surgery staff determined that I was a perfect candidate for an operation that could not only significantly improve my quality of life but rid me of my daily pain. Your response to this news was dismissive and your cavalier attitude didn’t help. You told me earlier that no one in this area would deal with my current condition and in that regard you were right. Yes, believe it or not the scope of medical science does excel and thrive beyond Beaufort. And the Mayo Clinic has proved time and time again why it’s a leader in the many fields of science, medicine, and healthcare. I felt strange when you kept saying “back pain isn’t solved by back surgery”. Obviously an entire team of highly skilled doctors, surgeons and supporting staff at The Mayo Clinic think differently. I think I’ll follow their advice.

Reviews
Dr. Strohmeyer has a pleasant upbeat friendly personality but was all business in examining my ankle and ruling out any skeletal issues. He provided guidance on how to move forward with my inflamed tendons. I consider him an asset to everyone needing help with an orthopedic question. My prior visit to him was 8 years ago on a back injury and he provided the excellent guidance on that issue as well. I highly recommend him.
He is honest and truthful. I trust him completely.
He was great
Dr Scott Strohmeyer was friendly, practical, and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. He took my condition seriously and planned treatment accordingly. Looking forward to seeing where it leads. Based on this initial visit I would recommend him.

He has a friendly, yet professional, attitude. I liked his recommendation of watching and waiting, not knife happy.
Qestion: Can I take the pills individually as needed ?
He relieved me of my pain and I am so thankful for that
Staff polite and attentive. Ease of scheduling was within the week. Dr Strohmeyer listens to your concerns and explains what he sees on your x-rays for a better understanding of what he suggests for a recovery plan.

I know it’s my doctor Dr S. Strohmeyer, he is a good person to have as your physician, he doesn’t rush you, he always make sure you know what he believes is the issue and if he assumes a diagnosis, he is going to send you for an MRI to get to the reason you’re complaining. I am always satisfied with his care of me!
