Testimonials

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

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.

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure.

Dr. Straka is an actual wizard, I don’t know what other way to put it.

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'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!

I recommend Dr. Straka and his team to everyone

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!

He is very patient and kind, but most importantly, so knowledgeable and skilled.

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.

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!

Dr Straka’s patience, kindness and devotion to his trade and skill is unmatched.

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!
