I've had a lot of back surgeries, and Dr. Krause was by far the best at listening to me being attentive to my concerns and her explanations as to what she would be doing during the procedure than any other doctor I have ever had in all the years of having to deal with spinal issues

Aside from my planned appointment purpose I was having a personal crisis. I was very late for my appointment & Dr Krause made the time to see me anyway. As soon as she walked in the examining room I fell apart & started to cry. Dr asked what was going on, listened, gave me a few minutes to vent & breath. I was able to pull myself together & address why I was there. I am very impressed with Dr Krause *bedside manner. She also gave me good advice in regards to my back issue. I would recommend her to others without reservation.
