Rather than talk about my wife's prior doctors, I will just say that our first call to Dr Krueger's office brought hope. The very first communication we had with a member of her staff told us that we where in the right place. Dr. Krueger is the best from the very beginning. Answering questions and laying out a good plan. You never left her office without a good understanding of what was going on. It was very tough for my wife emotionally. We are now 4 mos post mastectomy with confidence and hope moving forward. Go see her it will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

If you have the unfortunate luck to be diagnosed with breast cancer, this is the Surgeon to see. From day one she was thorough in explaining tests, results, treatment options, etc. Put both my husband and I at ease through this terrible ordeal. The day of surgery she even came in and held my hand before the operation and spoke very kindly to my worried parents to settle their nerves. Would definitely recommend her to ANYONE who is diagnosed. My husband and I feel she was our Angel through this journey. Her entire multi-disciplinary team of radiologists, oncologists and staff should be commended on their service to patients.

Dr. Kruegar said that the nodules noted on a Cat scan were probably just scar tissue. After consulting a different Physician, we found out that the nodules were malignant. I feel that some Physicians do not offer preventative care because they can make more money with worsening cases.
