ive been patient of this lady for almost a full year . she did advise me of fibroid tumors . after a year of just no type of resolve i went and got a second opinion. not only do i have now to do an almost emergency procedure but the new dr wonders why i wasn't giving pain meds or was advised properly of my condition . if could rate her less than poor i would.

Waited for 3 hours. 1 hour in the waiting room. 2 hours in the doctors room with nothing but a gown on. Biggest waste of time I've ever experienced at a doctor. I won't be coming back to her ever again.

just saw this doctor because of the good responses on this site. Will not return. Apparently doctors discuss patients good/bad (in their eyes) points. I am a senior and have only one life to live and I will ask questions if unsure or will talk to doc. about what's concerning me. I am not interested in that good ol gal thing among doctors. This doctor made a point to let me know she was in association with one of the other docs in that group which i had seen and was not satisfied with that docs bed side manner. Professional in her physical handling of me but, did not get that comfortable feeling. Sent to incorrect facility for appointment, wait time was long, asked in lobby why i was there to see doc which is not private location.

I have seen Dr.Kruger for 15 years. I wish I could trade all of my other drs for her. I would see her for everything from a common cold to trusting her with delivering my 4 precious babies...which she has done. I only hope she is still practicing when it's time for my baby girl to see an OB/GYN.

Dr. Kruger has been my OB since two years ago. I just have good comments about her. She delivered my baby and as FTM all I can say it was a magical experience. She really listens and try to give you a solution.

I have been seeing Dr. Kruger since she was on the West Bank at the Women's Clinic. She is the best OB that I have ever seen. I would not change to go to any other Dr. She talks to you, listens to you,and tries to solve any problem you may have. She is the BEST.

Dr. Kruger listens and is very informative. I appreciate her honesty and she follows up every year like I was there the day before.
