Dr. Krulee and his staff are great. He helped me a lot. His office is clean and professional. I like the smooth jazz in the waiting room. His staff is nice, I like the new girl, hip chick, refreshing.

His office is clean and in a nice building. He took very good care of my family and made us feel important and listened to our issues. His wife is a doll, I could not imagine her ever yelling at anyone and I have been a long time patient. If you thought she yelled, check your hearing aid, Julie is so great and caring. I once was upset when I went to Dr. Krulee, she saw me upset and immediately took me out of the waiting room where I could have some privacy. Dr. Krulee and Julie make a great team! Many others feel that way as well. The only people that would give them a bad rating are beyond help.

I believe as the parent he should of talked to me to get an idea what my sons issues were. Instead he pulled us both in and with just that one appt he diagnosed my son as drepessed! And offered meds!! No way. Go back to school

Jan 26th, 2012

I was just going thru my son's medical history because he is now in Yale Psych Hospital and I remembered my experience with this doctor. While under this doctor's care my son had a problem with his meds, I called the doctor's office and the receptionist told me it was because he probably missed a dose. The doctor NEVER called me. My son got worse and I called the doc at 2am. Now that my son is having difficulty with other meds I am remembering this. Needless to say, I never took my son back to this doctor and would never refer him.

I agree with the other responses. We have been going to him for about a little over 6 months. He does not listen to any of your point of views. He just yeahs you and does/says what he wants anyway. He rubs off as boilterous and rude. He just tries to switch Meds constantly, instead of trying to diagnose the real problem. I guess thats what you get from a Army doctor. His front office and office manager staff are completely incompetent and rude. Unsanitary to have a large dog in the office.

He will NOT listen to your problems and will NOT take your suggestions on medicine. I've been trying to wean off my medicine and he keeps BSing me trying to get me to 'wait one more week and see how it goes'. He is only in it for your money. Also, EACH appointment he is ALWAYS late so be prepared.

By the way, who is the doctor?

He is really smart. I am glad I waited to see him. I called a few times and his staff never made me feel like I was "bothering" them. If you have a real genuine problem, that is the office to go to.

He is very kind. We do wait sometimes, but that is it with all other doctors. All that matters is when we leave his office we feel as if we are getting great care and can call anytime with a problem. His staff is great too.

I have been bringing my child to Dr. Krulee for several years. He has done an amazing job helping me to take care of my child. Sometimes we have to wait longer than other times, but this is with any doctor. If my child had an emergency, I would want the doctor to see him even if that made him late to his next appointment. Just the same as if someone else had an emergency, I would willingly wait for our turn. He has been kind and understanding with my child and takes the time to hear about the rest of my child's issues and how they affect him overall.

I have been seeing Dr. Krulee for about 3 years and yes, I have to agree that sometimes I do wait for an extra long time to see him, however, he is worth the wait. He never rushes me out. I guess you can't please the world.

Called his office about a possible visit. Secretary that answered the phone was completely rude. The doctor might be terrific but I didn`t get that far.

This doc is good. We have seen other doctors in the past and by far Dr. Krulee is the best. My son is better and he gave us some ideas that no other doctor did that seems to help some.

HOW TERRIBLE OF ANYONE GIVE A BAD REVIEW. THIS DOCTOR IS VERY NICE AND HIS STAFF IS TERRIFIC. I HAVE NEVER HEARD HIS ASSISTANT SCREAM AT ANYONE AND WE ARE AT HIS OFFICE EVERY OTHER WEEK FOR MONTHS. SHE IS SWEET, HE SPENDS TIME WITH US. MAYBE THE REASON WHY YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST IS YOUR OWN LACK OF SELF CONTROL. IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST AT A YOUNG AGE THAN YOU WILL NEED TO SEE A GOOD DOCTOR LIKE DR. KRULEE, YOU JUST BURNT A BRIDGE.

I have been seeing Dr.Krulee for a number of years for my childs behavior. I was so encouraged by the changes with both my son and I that I continue to see him. There is a waiting room there and a reason to have it. I may spend more time than I like there, but that only gives me the opportunity to speak with the parents of other children.

I disagree with the last other ratings. Maybe that is why you people see a psychiatrist. Having trouble with reality? He is a great doctor and because of him I am leading a normal life. You Rock Dr. Krulee

Do not entrust the welfare of your child to this doctor. Does not have the empathy, warmth and genuine concern necessary for this profession. In addition, he is very arrogant, condescending and extremely rude. Couldn't agree more with the other reviewers.........

Jan 7th, 2009

I've been going here for a while. He spends about 10 minutes w/ me after I've waited for about 45 min after the time of my app. He doesn't seem to genuinly care about me. Maybe its all about the $$. I've been to Psych. before and usually they at least act like they care. Maybe none of them do, who knows. It would be nice to find one that did. I don't think he would care if I od'd and died. Secretary is very cold. Even though app. are given out 1-2 months in advance, there is no call previous to an app. All of the other app. I go to will call 1-2 days prior. This is just irresponsible. If you just want your meds-go to him. If you want someone caring, take more time and seek out someone else. GL

Dr. Krulee does not do his homework. He throws around his opinions without understanding or researching the facts.
