Dr Kreiger is awesome! I had been going to another orthopedic specialist regularly for 20 years. My orthopedist has performed numerous scopes and even replaced one of my knees. He has never called me at home to check on my progress in 20 years. As a result of an emergency, Dr Kreiger treated my broken hip. Dr Kreiger has called me twice and my husband three times since returning home after a 4 day stay in the hospital.

He's a very good doctor. He gave me his cell number and I could text anytime with questions. He is very busy though so he's always rushing around. I'm now seeking other opinions because my problem needs a foot specialist but I'd let him do surgery on a different area if needed.

Dr. Krieger is #1 in my book. He has performed two surgeries on me, and I never took a pain pill with either one. He is an excellent doctor and very caring.

I really like Dr. Krieger. He listened to me & then examined my foot. He explained the exam would hurt but stopped when pain was evident on my face. I have seen 1 other ortho doctor & appreciate Dr. Krieger's concern, compassion & knowledge. He also asked if I had any questions before leaving exam room.

I had an appointment to have surgery done and had a lot of anxiety due to a bad reaction to anesthesia and wanted to ealk to the anesthesia department first and was told I could not until the day of surgery. And then I was supposed to have been the first case and that got changed to mid afternoon. When I asked him to change the time of the surgery evidently he got mad and sent me 2 text messages and cancelled the surgery and told me to find another doctor because I made the surgery too difficult. He has been our doctor for 31 years. I could not believe he did that. Our family is hurt by what he has done. We will find another doctor.

Dr Krieger gave my husband his cell phone number so that we could easily reach him if I I had a problem over the weekend. He took great care of my problem and gave me peace of mind.
