Dr. Erwin A Kruger

Dr. Kruger was part of my care team for my skull flap replacement after a problem brain tumor resection. Dr. Kruger is an excellent Plastic Surgeon - he will answer all your questions, has an excellent bedside manner and complete follow ups. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kruger for any Plastic Surgery needs!

The absolute worst surgeon I have seen. I did a consultation with me. He’s passive aggressive & lacks confidence. When i saw him he was very demeaning. He ignored my rare disease diagnoses, instead claimed that I was munchausens, malingering etc. refused to learn about my rare diseases, was upset that I brought in surgery protocol for my conditions, he wasn’t happy I brought in a care manager to the appointment. My allergist recommended that my breast implants are worsening my condition & because i am allergic to material found in implants based on skin testing, my insurance was covering the surgery. I did my pre-op and had surgical clearance from everyone including Mayo but suddenly Dr. Kruger showed his true colors, told me to have a psych eval because I appear anxious by bringing in surgery protocol, then the worst part are the passive aggressive comments he made in my chart ! He made comments that I need a psych eval to rule out munchausens & malingering WITHOUT Reviewing my… medical records & rare disease diagnoses. He could care less about that. He was afraid to do the surgery and just admit it, so instead made me look horrible in his notes. Also made the assertion that i’m bipolar, as a plastic surgeon , then lied & said those were my own words. Hid behavior is very strange & I can see why he works at Mayo. He wouldn’t last in private practice because he’s passive aggressive when he’s under stress. I wrote him a nice message in the Mayo portal & had to request that my records are corrected which no doubt he will not correct. And here I was just trying to have the surgery that my allergist recommended & this is what i got from Dr. Kruger, plastic surgery playing psychiatrist.

I met with Dr Krueger today following multiple surgeries performed by another surgeon who is in California. I had many complications and wanted a Dr who would take a fresh approach to my breast reconstruction. Dr Krueger was amazing. A few words or phrases come to mind when I describe him: Professional, approachable, excellent bedside manner, he listens and hears what you are saying. I know I’m in good hands with Dr Krueger. I feel a sense of relief knowing he cares enough to handle my case. Thank you, Dr K!

Great surgeon, efficient office.

It was a great experience.

The office was really helpful. My three year old son got bit by a dog and had to get admitted into hospital to get it fixed. The doctor called the hospital and got my son scheduled first thing in the morning. He explained everything before and after the procedure. The office was able to get us right in when I called with some concerns. I appreciate all the help.

EXCELLENT SERVICE!

I think Dr. Kruger is amazing doctor!

Very friendly and professional. He made us feel very comfortable.
