My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Dr. Straka is an actual wizard, I don’t know what other way to put it. I suffered from under eye bags starting at age 26 and finally at 31 I found Dr. Straka. I feel 1000% myself and a million times more confident! I wish I would have had the surgery sooner. If you are wondering if he is your guy… HE IS! And if you’re wondering if you should do it, YOU SHOULD. The results are worth every penny! His staff is SO attentive and answered all my questions throughout the entire process. I flew to Ohio from Denver to have the procedure done and Kaleigh and Christine were so sweet and kind, really made me feel comfortable while being out of state. Dr. Straka and his team have my business from Denver, for life. Thank you guys so much!!!

I've been going to Dr. Straka for the last few years, as I've tried others, and he really is the best! I refuse to go to anyone else anymore. He is very experienced, well educated, takes his time in understanding all your wants/needs, explains the procedures in detail, and has the best staff. Everyone is so nice and very informative. He's very up front and honest about everything, even if he might not believe you need something at that moment which shows how he truly cares about his patients. As someone that was skeptical at first, I'm telling you that you can't go wrong in putting all your trust in him!

Ever since I first stepped foot into the building everyone was so kind and super welcoming! I felt like a regular even though I’m a new patient! I’ve been searching and going to consults for a while now about my chin and jawline area for over a year but I never found the right provider until I met with Dr. Straka! I instantly was ready to make a commitment because he and his staff made me feel comfortable and I would trust he would give me the best results! I ended up getting facetite and chin/jawline lipo which was a breeze! I recommend Dr. Straka and his team to everyone wanting a warm, safe, trusting and welcoming environment!

I have been seeing Dr. Straka for a few years now. He is very patient and kind, but most importantly, so knowledgeable and skilled. I needed a touch of lateral under eye filler last week, and I’m so happy w the results! He has also done upper eyelid filler on me, and I’ve been very happy with those results. His staff is also top notch, from the front desk to the nurses who help in the rooms. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Straka's staff. The staff was warm and inviting. The moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and made to feel very welcomed. I met first with Alexa who explained the procedure in length and made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment. I then met with Kristie and she spent so much time with me discussing different treatments and the benefits of each one the office offered. I am so grateful to found such a professional group of women that made me feel so comfortable!

My story is no different than any other 69 year old woman with light hair and fair skin. The results though, are what makes Dr Straka and his team exceptional! Starting with the consultation and the interaction with his team! The surgery and next day, crack of dawn, checkup. Staple and stitch removal…oh and let’s throw in time spent with an occasional “what’s this”? Dr Straka’s patience, kindness and devotion to his trade and skill is unmatched. I’d do it all again!

Dr. Straka and his staff deliver professional and personalized treatments in the most kind and caring manner received anywhere. Dr. Straka preformed surgery on my eyes two years ago and the results are life changing. The physical appearance was such a positive improvement and the surgery has greatly improved my vision. Recently I visited Dr Staka in his beautiful new office. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, caring and engaging. Thank you Dr Straka for extending your exceptional plastic surgery and cosmetic skills in a personalized caring way. Thank you to all staff members with a special shout out to Kaliegh. Your the BEST!!

Dr. Straka and his whole team is wonderful. They always make me feel welcome and very well taken care of! Kaleigh and Alexa in particular have been with me for each treatment and have put me at ease every time. I found out about Dr. Straka from word of mouth in the healthcare setting, so I knew he was an excellent surgeon, but his bedside manner and his fantastic team is what really seals the deal!

I have suffered from hood eye for years and was finally able to have Insurance cover it. Dr Straka was more than accommodating in his consultation and nothing but professional. Because he did so well, I decided to get my lower ones done as well.. His staff was top notch while at the office and the day of surgery . After surgery, Christina was my POC and she was fabulous. She treated me as if I was a member of her family. She was always just a text away. Her kindness and dedication to what she does made the healing process a great experience. Lastly, I can not forget about Rachel. ……what fun we had with my stitches! You were a champ and a sweetheart. I would recommend Dr Straka and his staff to anyone who is needing any type of services. I generally don’t take the time to do this but wanted everyone to know if you are hesitant in anyway- don’t worry! You will be in the BEST HANDS!

Dr. Straka and his team are very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I have worked with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh and both took time to explain the various procedures in detail and personally followed up afterwards to ensure everything went well and to answer any questions or provide timely feedback and advice. In addition to the expert practitioners, you could not find a more professional and kind Administrative team, both Sydney and Cristina were great to work with and made me feel 100% at home in their office.

Dr. Straka is a compassionate and knowledgeable physician. From the minute you walk through the door or when you call, the entire staff is incredibly caring and attentive. I have complex medical concerns and was initially nervous about surgery, but Dr. Straka and Cristina S. (Care Coordinator), explained everything so clearly and put my mind at ease. Cristina is patient and always available for questions. Her demeanor is friendly and validating. You can hear and feel her smiling over the phone. She treats you as if you are her only or most important patient with every interaction.

Dr. Straka’s approach is holistic and empowering. He is positive, humble, thoughtful, listens attentively, and he placed high priority on my emotional and physical wellbeing. Using this patient-centered approach, with my collaboration, he tailored and adjusted as needed, my medical treatment plan specific to my individual needs making sure that I felt comfortable and valued. I am pleased with the results of my surgical procedure, and I recommend Dr. Straka for your ophthalmic or facial plastic surgery concerns or needs.
