If you are reading this review, you are either probably just starting or have been on a journey to find a professional, credible, and empathetic medical provider for the treatment of PANS/PANDAS symptoms you or a loved one has been suffering with. I am writing this review of Dr. Shtraykher to help you in your search. Dr. Shtraykher is an extremely knowledgeable, patient, and caring doctor who recognizes and understands this very real, horrible inflammatory condition and validates everything you and your family are going through. PANS/PANDAS awareness is growing, but unfortunately, many providers either still don't recognize it, dismissing its clinical presentation for other diagnoses (often prescribing the wrong medications, usually only psychiatric), or may recognize it but don't offer any effective treatment, leaving you and your loved one to continue suffering alone without any help, resolution, or support. The experience can become so traumatic, isolating, and depressing. My experience with Dr. Shtraykher validates all the other positive reviews of him. After a few weeks of treatment, my son stabilized his symptoms of PANS and is slowly improving. I haven't seen any effect like this from any of the other providers he saw over the two years of his onset of symptoms. I am so happy we found Dr. Shtraykher, and feel so much better now that if my son does have another flare, we now have a doctor we know can help him. I am not sure why it had to be such a journey to find a medical provider like Dr. Shtraykher, but we are very grateful we have.
