Not currently a patient
"Dr Straughn was our family’s physician from the early 90s to 2015. He is the best diagnostician I have ever met in Anderson. There were several times he identified diseases in one of our family members that was spot on. I’m sorry he is no longer in a medical practice that accepts insurance. He is truly missed."
