Outside of the office, Dr. Stratford especially enjoys spending as much time as he can with his wife, Emily, of 25+ years, and their five children. With two of his oldest children married, he hopes to be a grandpa soon. He is very active and tries to fit in cycling, swimming, hiking, and other outdoor activities in his spare time. He especially loves to travel with his family.
