I would like to give 10 stars. Dr. Straka is the best surgeon I have ever worked with. Caring, informative, very laid back, does not rush you or suggest anything that you do not need. He only does ex-plants and really believes in taking things slow and not having you do more than your body needs or can handle. His staff Vicki and Joanne are wonderful and make the process easy and efficient.

I had the BEST experience with Dr Straka & his team! After 2 bad breast augmentations that resulted in symmastia from a different surgeon, I decided it would be best for my body to explant vs keep revising & running into more issues. I consulted with a few doctors before booking the explant, but after meeting with Dr Straka I put my deposit down as soon as we finished talking. I felt very cared for from start to finish. His whole care team is so easy to get ahold of, and Dr Straka himself even waited around after my surgery to make sure I was okay and let me know the procedure went really well. If you are thinking of explanting & not sure where to start, start here! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Straka is a wonderful doctor and very skilled surgeon. At my consult for breast implant removal, he spent 40 minutes with me discussing the surgery and what to expect. He's very patient with questions and very knowledgeable with en bloc capsulectomy. The surgery itself was very smooth and he was so quick to return our calls when I had questions post op. I feel so much better after having the implants removed. I can breathe better, some auto immune issues have resolved, less brain fog, and chest pain is gone. I thought I would look disfigured after having the implants removed, but honestly I think it looks better now and I'm pain free!

The absolute BEST explant doctor! I did a TON of research and even consulted 3 top explant doctors in Chicago. After meeting with Dr. Straka, I knew right away he was the doctor I wanted to perform my surgery. My whole experience has been fantastic. I initially spoke with Vickie from his office. She has been so informative, helpful and responsive from the very beginning. I've called her several times throughout my journey. Joanne, his nurse, has been wonderful through the whole process as well. She was there for my pre op and surgery day and did a great job of easing my nerves and giving me directions for what to do before and after surgery. The anesthesiologist was great and very experienced. Normally I get very nauseous after surgery but was not at all when I woke up. Dr. Straka is a perfectionist and very detailed with explaining everything. He does not rush you (very rare in a doctor) and gives you an honest idea of what your results will be. Also, Dr. Straka was in communication with me after my surgery and into the weekend which is huge. It was never hard to get into contact with anyone from his team. They are VERY responsive. It has been a little over a week and I am thrilled with my results. My breasts are better than I ever expected and I feel so much lighter. I am very happy and wish I would have done this a lot sooner. Chicago is very lucky to have such a skilled surgeon. Thank you Dr. Straka!

Dr. Straka not only is an experienced, highly skilled surgeon, he is kind, compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients. I am one of Dr. Straka's older patients (maybe the oldest!). He treated me with respect and went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible result from my procedure. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the nurses and office staff. They are professional, warm and friendly. They made me feel welcome and comfortable at each appointment. From consultation to post op, I was in the very best hands!
