On Tuesday when I saw him, Dr Kruger immediately recognized what a bad state I was in and was concerned as to how quickly I had deteriorated. He showed me the MRI and I could see why I was in such pain and could not walk. He scheduled me for emergency surgery that week (Friday). He was amazing! Surgery gave me my life back!

Lumbar Fusion

Very knowledgeable staff. Took time to explain procedures, hospital time, recovery time, etc.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Waited 45 minutes, had 2 minutes of face to face time. This could have been done over the phone or Telemed. Waiting room time is extremely aggravating to my back injury and would much rather be avoided when possible.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Kruger fixed all of my pain that I was experiencing in my shoulder neck and arm. I initially wrote it off to getting older. Personally I still can't accept I'm getting older LOL but felt there was something else wrong with my neck. So the first step was contacting my primary care physician. My sister had Dr. Kruger fix her back which by the way is still excellent. So I decided to go with Dr. Krueger.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Couldn't be more satisfied. Dr. Kruger and his team waste no time addressing my health and a proper healing plan for my recovery post-surgery.

Virtual Visit / Telemedicine

Dr. Kruger is known for his lack of bedside manner, however, I've always felt, that he would fight for me if necessary. Even though he's curt, I've always liked him. In this last experience he was rude and spoke down to me. He probably didn't even realize it. He interrupted. I never felt heard. My daughter and home health aide were horrified at his demeanor.

Dr. Kruger is amazing. From the moment I met him a few months ago, he knew he could help me. So many people told me not to have surgery and to get another opinion. I trusted Dr. Kruger, and thanks to him, I can now walk and have my life back. During this last visit, the entire office handled precautions of the coronavirus perfectly. Again, Dr. Kruger gave me back my life. Thank you!

Lumbar Fusion

Dr. Kruger has been my surgeon for over 20 years and he has made me walk strong again! [Single best thing is...] The pain is GONE!! I love Doctor Kruger, Josh and the office and hospital staff especially Nurse Joan. I was able to go back to work!!

Office Visit / Follow-up

I drove 45 minutes to the appointment. I had received paperwork from the neurologist that Dr. Kruger needed to see. He looked at it quickly and told me I should hear from somebody about a date for my CAT scan in a week. If I don't hear from somebody, call back I was probably forgotten. My appointment was on the 16th. I've called twice and left messages with Dr. Kruger's assistant named Jenn. She has not gotten back to me. Since I first contacted Dr. Kruger I have left 3 messages with Jenn and she has never gotten back to me. I came to this facility for a second opinion on surgery I had on my back and now I'm thinking I may have made a big mistake choosing this facility.

Dr. Kruger is knowledgable. I know he's a great surgeon and I trust him. Dr. Kruger stated it was not a back issue. It was a hip issue and [Dr. Kruger] referred me to a colleague to continue towards treatment.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Additional follow up required and more time off.

Lumbar Fusion

Very thorough with telling me about the procedure that was done. [Single best thing is...] Able to walk now.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Kruger listened to my concerns. This visit was a follow-up from my initial visit with Jessica. I had X-Rays and an MRI which were reviewed by Dr. Kruger and discussed with me. He offered the options, gave me the pros and cons of each. He requested a CT scan and a return appointment in three weeks to determine the course of treatment going forward. Dr. Kruger is a straight shooter which is my style. I'm not one for sugar coating reality. I want competence, experience, and dedication to his work. I am a repeat patient of Dr. Kruger and would highly recommend him. The single best thing about my treatment is Dr. Kruger's honesty with patients.

Office Visit / Follow-up

After surgery, they went over what was needed to get back to healthy back.

Office Visit / Follow-up

I waited for an hour past my appointment time with back pain. I also found my interaction with my doctor to not be very supportive or solution oriented. I was also asked questions about my eyes which had nothing to do with my back injury and was more of a curiosity from the dr because I have a lazy eye at times, it made me feel self conscious and uncomfortable. I hope that this won't be the same interaction I have moving forward. It seemed like that was more interesting to him than my injury.

Treatment / Procedure

Because I could look forward to a recovery. [Single best thing is...] Because I could not walk and we have stairs at home I was put into the hospital with a hope that surgery could be the next day. Along with prevention of further damage to my body.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr Kruger and his staff are experts in their field and although Dr Kruger did not believe that my condition was surgical, he offered advice that has been helpful. His PA Marci, gave me a referral to Intergrated Medicine at St Francis Hospital, which has been extremely helpful! Thank you!

Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF)

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

Treatment / Procedure

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

Office Visit / Follow-up

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.

Office Visit / Follow-up

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.

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.

Spine Surgery

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.

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

Spine Surgery

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!

Office Visit / Follow-up

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

Spine Surgery
