I had a tumor behind my ear that Dr. Krauss removed. He is an excellent, caring doctor and a superb surgeon. I am an ophthalmologist on clinical faculty at UCLA and I trust him as my eye doctor.

Dr Krauss would never give me my ultrasound pictures I paid for because he said he did not store them. Then after I threatened Court he finally found one image. Why wait to give me my USound Photos? Dr Krauss is very cunning. Buyer Beware

Seemed like a Good Place at first. I was initially examined by this personable Doctor who diagnosed my problem & recommended treatment.Was told to call/ touch base after a week and then to come in for follow-up.After a week still had pain after my 1st injection- so I contacted them. I was suprised when the office suggested I not return for follow up. I would have never agreed to treatment if I'd known this. However, was told I would need a return visit to monitor & see if there was any improvement.
