Dr. Tyrone James Krause, MD

"Brilliant surgeon. He saved the life of my 85 year old mother who two other surgeons refused to operate on because she was too high risk. He operates on the patients that no one else will! Thank you Dr Krause for giving me my mother back!"

I cannot recommend this surgeon based on my personal experience. I lost my husband while he was under this doctor’s care, and the experience has been devastating for my family. Throughout his treatment, I felt that we were not given honest and clear information about what was happening. Our questions were not answered in a way that gave us confidence, and I left feeling that important information was not fully disclosed to our family. Because of my experience, I would not trust this doctor with the care of a loved one. I hope future patients ask questions, seek second opinions when appropriate, and carefully consider all of their options before choosing this surgeon.

If you want a surgeon who knows what he is doing,cares about his patients he is the one. Whether or not he was most loved surgeon in the hospital hasn't anything to do with his Quality. Mt by-pass at RWJ University Hospital is going on seventeen years! No problems-Great recent stress test.

If you want to be involved, he will involve you in decisions as far as is rational, depending upon your knowledge. I've had two heart valve surgeries by him in two different hospitals over the years, and was home in three days both times. He is a perfectionist (you want that) and exceptional in his skill. Without question, I would go to him again, wherever he is practicing, if I were to need heart surgery again.

He is the best around, and saved my life 9 years ago and I am still here !
