David Kruger, MD

Everyone at this office is cordial, kind and efficient. No waiting interminably as in so many other offices. A very well run medical practice. Dr. Kruger was happy about my progress which made me feel happy. I had lots of pain following surgery and he made me realize that it would take time to heal since it had been building up for so long. A nice, kind man.

I felt he clearly had my best interests in mind. I have always found that his answers to my questions are thoughtful and concise. I have complete faith in his abilities to resolve my issues.

Dr. Kruger quickly diagnosed my problem as bursitis in my hip. He asked if I wanted a shot and I was glad he did because I had a lot of pain. Dr. Kruger had a great way to make this as easy as possible. He has a sense of humor that made me feel at ease. I've had a very good experience with the past surgeries that he performed. I am grateful for the good medical care I'm getting from him. I usually go to the Enfield Office because of it's location but the Bloomfield facility got me an appointment quicker. I have less pain in the hip area and expect it will continue.

Lumbar Fusion

DR. Kruger was kind and compassionate. He lets you know exactly what is going on and guides you how to proceed. He looks you eye to eye and gives his honest recommendation. I felt very comfortable Dr Kruger and treated me as patient with that was in horrible pain from scaitica herniated disc. I had severe sciatica pain starting from my lower back to calf and down to my foot. I could not walk more than 10 minutes with this pain and had to rest each and every time. I had a huge herniation on L4/L5 that almost closed my spinal cord. He is an amazing doctor and I thank each day for giving my walking back. This is the day after surgery and I am walking with no problem and my limping went away and I am walking straight and good posture. I am only taking Tylenol and that is all I need. My son came along with me and he said Dr Kruger was an excellent doctor and he was impressed with Dr. Kruger's style, and truthfulness. He is a very talented doctor and way up on the charts with knowledge and expertise. Saint Francis has a wonderful doctor on their team. Dr Kruger got me walking again, I could not walk for three months and fixed me up. now i can walk all over now. God Bless Him.

11/10/2018

Dr Kruger took the time with me to go over another way of treatment for me. Also giving me suggestions to follow to help me feel better.

11/08/2018

09/07/2018

Although the imparted information wasn't considered good, Dr Kruger was forthright in the diagnosis.

08/23/2018

I am a visual learner so I asked to have my x rays displayed. It helped me to better understand the surgery I will need to have. Was disappointed not to see Dr. Kruger himself, however his PA spent considerable time with me to try to explain the surgeries I will need.

08/13/2018

Satisfied with doctor's post op follow up visit

08/13/2018

I was treated with compassion and courtesy by the entire staff throughout my visit The single best thing about treatment results was the opportunity to live life pain free again

08/13/2018

05/22/2018

04/17/2018

Other

I have been going there for a long time & I like the Doctors there & I like what they do & I like what they hade to say to me about my options for my back

04/03/2018

New what had to be done. And explained it to me

04/02/2018

Good conversation. Yes! My appointment was at 3:30PM and I was in and out before 4PM

03/30/2018

Dr Kruger was very professional and customer friendly. After my examination he asked if there were any questions or concerns. He shows that he cares for his patients and not just for money. To me I felt reassured as a patient.

03/27/2018

The doctor didn't show me, and go over my X-ray's with me. I expected the Doctor to go over my X-ray's with me so I would understand my medical problem, and understand the condition of the Discs in my back and why I had so much pain. But, Now, in order to get a proper diagnosis I need to see another Orthopedic Doctor.

03/27/2018

Dr. Kruger is smart.

03/13/2018

New Patient Visit

Dr Kruger listened and responded to my concerns.

01/29/2018

What the doctor wanted for results was great

01/29/2018

excellent surgeon straight to the point

01/29/2018

Dr. Kruger and staffare committed to patient physical and emotional well being before and after the planned surgery.

01/20/2018

Professional and very well done!

01/17/2018

I think I've covered this already. He is abrupt, rude at times and rushed. Example - When the doctor visited me the day after the surgery in the hospital, he asked right away if my legs were "good". I was shocked. Nothing felt good, certainly not my legs. I had just had lumbar fusion surgery and could hardly move in bed never mind walk without a nurse to hold on to. I didn't know what to say. I stumbled nervously and said I cant tell if my legs are better cuz everything hurt so much. He asked again, "Are your legs good?" I looked at him as if he was out of his mind and answered the best I could. Nothing was good. Then he asked again, the same question, "Are your legs good?" I said no, they don't seem to feel good at all. I was confused because he had told me prior to the surgery that it would take up to a year for my legs to be better. Then the day after surgery he kept asking me over and over if my legs were better.

01/17/2018

Took away all the horrible pain I had before the procedure. I'm now pain free

01/17/2018

Dr. Kruger and staff CARE about and for me.

01/13/2018

I guess I was hoping they could fix me

01/12/2018

Follow up tests and appointment set up quickly. Understands my needs and concerns. Previously fused my lumbar spine with excellent outcome. Understands my strong desire to remain functional and mobile at my age and willingness to tolerate some residual pain.

01/12/2018

Explained surgery and recovery in clear understandable terms.

01/11/2018

he is very experienced tells you the way it is does not sugar coat anything no b, s. i like that in a dr all drs should be that way being over lol the surgery seems to be showing results now

01/11/2018

We are satisfied because he does not push for surgery.

01/11/2018

i'm not back to normal after 3 surgeries on my back. i can't function as i used to. i've given up working as an electrician.

01/11/2018

Took time to answer my questions

01/10/2018

Despite an initial setback due to a bug (flu?), there is progress in my recovery.

01/10/2018

my mother is currently pain free

01/10/2018

Very understanding and down to earth. Made me feel comfortable about upcoming surgery.

01/10/2018

Dr. Kruger is a very good surgeon, he made me feel there was hope for a better day. Sometimes I don't get all of his jokes, but he does try to make you comfortable, during a difficult time. Looking at the ex-ray showing the results of the surgery, I can only say this doctor knows his stuff!

01/10/2018

Caring, thoughtful and funny. He listened and recommended a treatment that is working. He or his PA Jordan did not rush what so ever
