Horrible Doctor with no bedside manner. Know it all that just spouts information as if to prove he is smarter than you. makes poor treatment decisions. I would rather see my pet's vet than this doctor again.

Very clinical, not for the normal person who has no medical knowledge. He threatens to "fire" you as a patient if you don't follow thru with tests. Says "well, you're deductible is met, so let's spend the money on these new tests" Is somewhat sexist, and does not explain why certain things are needed. Though my husband likes him. What do I know?

Doc is tough but thorough and sometimes hard to take. However, I believe it's because he has your best interest in mind. He demands you listen and work with him. I agree with the bedside manner comments - not his strong suit.

demanding but attention to detail. provides specialty referral when needed. countless hours in office, expects patients to work just as hard. expects compliance.

If you care at all about bedside manner this is not the doctor for you. Dr. Kramer is rude, sarcastic and offensive.

While he may be thorough, talking to patients rudely, sarcastically and with so much medical jargon just makes for a terrible bedside manner. It does not matter how good you are if you cannot relate to people.
