Cortisone Injections

I arrived for my appointment about 20 minutes early. I was ready for a long wait to get to be seen. I was only there for a Cortizone shot in my shoulder. I did not wait more than five minutes before I was called into an examining room. I was in and out within 10 minutes. I find it very unusual not to have to wait to be seen by doctors in this area.

The scheduled an MRI the next day, wonderful! Now armed with the test info. I'm ready to address the pain head on. BUT the appointment with Dr. Kruger is scheduled 3 WEEKS out. No pain meds to ease the discomfort, nothing to alleviate the ache and spasms. The test results are available the next day. But now I must WAIT 3 weeks to review them.

02/24/2020

The staff was professional and friendly.

02/24/2020

Fast and got relief.

01/29/2020

Alaina was professional and courteous. She reviewed my shoulder x-ray, explained my diagnosis of an impingement, and prescribed PT and an anti-inflammatory for 4-6 weeks. I was impressed by the methodical approach of finding the most minimally invasive treatment program for my condition. Knowing that I have an opportunity to follow up with an MRI if my current course of treatment does not yield improvement, and knowing that I will not be recommended for surgery unless the MRI conclusively shows that I require it, was highly reassuring. I was treated with a high degree of respect, courtesy and empathy from all members of the staff that interacted with me. Thanks and keep up the great work!
