I was told I needed to see a kidney doctor, so I went looking online. Got a list of doctors in the area then called an acquaintance that had been waiting for a kidney a long time and had just got one. I figured he would know about some of the doctors I had listed. Sure enough he said he knew Dr. Kriger and not to go to him he was well, I can't say that. I decided people that are filled with anger look at things different. I am so glad I did. Dr.Kriger is a kind very knowledgeable and thorough in his consultations. His secretary is very nice and helpful even when I am in the wrong or when she has to stop what she is doing to help me do something I may need to do before I come back out front. They are terrific I wish I could have him as my primary care doctor instead of just my kidney doctor, but I'm thankful to have him as my doctor period .

Dr. Kriger is knowledable. However, the receptionist is the rudest person imaginable. Everything is always an irritation to her and will give extreme annoyed attitude. She is very unhelpful and inconsiderate.

Dr. Kriger has a pleasant bedside manner and is very knowledgeable. The typical wait time has been close to two hours. The most significant problem with Dr. Kriger's practice is the office staff. His receptionist Karen, who you have to deal with for everything with the office, is the rudest individual I have ever encountered. Comments such as, "I'm extremely busy, you'll just have to call back this afternoon," should not occur. She is unhelpful, condescending, and treats you as if you are a bother. She should be ashamed of herself for treating patients in that manner. I can only hope Dr. Kriger has not heard the way she speaks to people because it would be really sad if he was aware and is continuing to let it occur. Despite the fact that Dr. Kriger has been a wonderful doctor, I am now looking elsewhere to save myself the indignity of dealing with his staff.

On the first visit I waited roughly 2 hours past my appointment time which they had me show up early to fill out paperwork. Never got an apology for the wait. I had some lab work done for my second visit. When I showed up I got lectured over and over again from the front desk lady how I should have know better. She showed me the lab work and angrily asked "Does this look like everything you were supposed to have?" I have no idea what lab work the doctor ordered nor do I understand how to read it enough to know what it should have. Today I called to have one of my prescriptions updated. The response was " why didn't you get that done when you were here last". I didn't even know what to say. I talked her into filling it but I couldn't remember how many milligrams I was taking which I got more attitude about. At the end of the call I cancelled my appointment, which is 3 weeks from now, because I will be out of town for work. Than I got to here more attitude about the… cancellation and again about not getting my prescription filled at my last visit. I won't be going back.
