Being asked to help a person who is suffering or even just concerned is a huge responsibility, but more than that it is an honor. Listening must come before talking or acting. The patient is the source of the most important pieces of information related to their health. We must first connect with the patient in order to assist them because medicine is primarily a human endeavor. Dr. Strategos is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Xanthoma. His top areas of expertise are Familial Hypertension, Hypertension, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Lung Metastases.
