Reasonable wait. All staff were kind. The lady at the front escorted me to my car when I said I was shaky walking with my new brace! Dr. Krauss was friendly and very focussed and direct. Answered all my questions.

40 minutes late on appointment. Other than that, things were fine. Staff was friendly. Dr. Krauss explained that he could not help and gave reasons why. Appreciated his candor.

As a new patient the visit was great. My wife has had surgery with Dr. Krauss on both feet and I knew he would be my choice for foot surgery. Very professional and friendly as well as his staff.
