Great doctor
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/15/2026
I love Dr. Strain. She is always professional, always respectful, and she really listens to me. She knows I used to work in healthcare and she never talks down to me. She doesn't have the ego problems that so many doctors have that I hate with a passion. She is intelligent, pleasant, and well-spoken. I have to move and I am really going to miss having her as my doctor so much.

Dr. Strain and her team at Odenton are simply superb. Dr. Strain knows my medical history better than I do and talks through how we want to approach any issues. She--other than my significant other--is my biggest health supporter. :) I very much appreciate and respect Dr. Strain's knowledge and bedside manner.
