Daniel Strub, MD

Today was my first visit with Dr. Strubb, he was very understanding and kind. His staff were also very helpful and kind. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with doctors but I must say this was not one! I highly recommend him!

I was referred to Dr. Strub by my HMO. He treated me for a fractured ankle right after the Holidays. He was a bit brusque, but not every physician is going to be Dr. Marcus Welby. I called his office sometime in February, 2015, because I was experiencing a terrible bout of ulcerative colitis. I needed to be seen right away. I was never allowed to speak with Dr. Strub, nor did he contact me, despite my urgent phone calls to his office. His receptionist blamed my HMO for not being able to schedule an appointment. My HMO said that was nonsense. Approximately one month later, with no apology, his receptionist referred me to a specialist far from me. It is 8 months later and I had to call a doctor I hadn’t seen in years, who prescribed antibiotics and anti-​diarrheals. I reluctantly reported Dr. Strub. I believe he was dishonest and unprofessional in dealing with me. I’m not sure whether it was personal dislike for me or a decision to stop seeing patients with MediCare & Medi-​Cal. He is entitled to his feelings, but I feel I was entitled to an explanation, consideration and an apology. Talk about a lack of professional ethics!

Dr. Strub is a great doctor. Easy going, professional and with a nice sence of humor. Very helpful. Each time I had some health issue, he would make a precise diagnosis and prescribe the right medicine.
I would recommend him as a family doctor. It also easy to get the walk in appointment to see him. And his assistants are very nice too!

So, online sites all claim that the office accepts Medi-​cal. I can understand them not wanting but now that there is no other choice for alot of us, it would be nice to know that before we show up. Wasted my time and gas, after receiving three web based reminders for the appointment reminding me to bring my Medical card. Very very angry.

Dr. Strub is a no-​nonsense MD! He’s like a hundred years old (lol) so obviously an expert in his field! He’s my allergy defender! We’re like a family of allergy :(so when springtime is around the corner, I go straight to his office! Online booking very convenient, fast check in, direct to the point conversation and pharmacy I go after! Relief is guaranteed!

Great doctor, I have been seeing Dr. Strub for ~15 years dating back to High School. Appointments were always easy to make and typically next day. I too noticed a brief peroid where he didn’t seem as friendly as usual back in 2008 but my recent visits have been nothing but great. Great family doctor!

Thanks again Unilocal!I found Dr. Strub after a week of being terribly sick from mold in my home and developing a respiratory infection, he was able to see me the next day and since he has been wonderful to work with!
I would recommend anyone suffering from allergies to see him. I really didn’t even know there were treatment options out there for allergy suffers and he was very knowledgeable.

I hope Dr. Strub isn’t turning weird like someone before me has commented. I love that guy. He is genuine and he cares about his patients. People have bad days, so maybe he was having a bad day. People are crazy and try to argue with Dr’s all the time, and that could have set him in a nasty mood for the rest of the day. After a while it can get to you. I think he has always been a bit of a «quack» but you gotta love him for it. Everyone I have sent to him says the same thing. It’s hilarious. I haven’t seen him in over a year, but until he pisses me off I’m gonna give him all 5 stars.

I also disagree with Zinzan R and I am sure Dr. Strub would have discussed her «opnions» directly with her had she addressed them in a direct and constructive manner. Dr. Strub has been my family’s doctor for over 40 years and I can always count on him for thoughtful, calculated and progressive allergy and flu treatment. I would not hesitate to reommend his services to anyone within my family and to my closest friends.

I disagree completely with the other review. Dr. Strub is a great doctor. I have been seeing him for 15 years and never once have I had bad service. I was diagnosed with HBP and it (through his help) has been in check for the past 5 years. I never have a problem getting in to see him and I like the fact that he takes cash payments (since I don’t have insurance).

I used to like Dr. Strub. I thought he was experienced, friendly and had great staff. It was really nice that I could make appointments on short notice. With all those goodies, I was able to discount the fact that he had a foot in retirement already and his office was closed Wed (all day) and Monday mornings (till 2 PM).
However, in the last six months we have visited them, his bedside manner and friendliness have disappeared completely. He is now brusque, wants to get out of the room as soon as possible and is rude even to children. I don’t know what his beef is – perhaps he is sick himself?
I have also noticed he is almost a quack. No matter what ailment you have, he always prescribes Azithromycin. I surmise that is better than prescribing Amoxycillin. My daughter had a lower respiratory infection (pneumonia, folks!) and he prescribed lame-​ass Amoxycillin that had absolutely no effect. Result: my child spent 10 days bed-​ridden. I had never been scared for her health until then.
That seems to be the only tool in his toolkit now. Z-​pak. Azithromycin. We have been upgraded from Amoxycillin to Azithromycin! Last time he attended any medical training appears to be in 1979 or 1983, if I remember the plaques in his office correctly. So when I asked him if my sinus blockage could be due to fungal infection because I have no fever or sticky discharge, he immediately discounted that with a shake of his head. Great doctoring, Doctor Strub. I will only come to you for a Z-​pak prescription. Peace out!
