Dr. Russell Brannum Krienke, MD

Dr. Krienke has been my doctor of record for over 30 years. He has always been the first doctor I see and has made some very important, life-saving referrals that have led me to a number of other great Austin docs. He is always up to date on my current medical condition because he reads records before patients come in. He listens to patients, uses language we understand, and is compassionate and a good communicator. His staff and nurses seem to love him as much as his patients. For a general practice doc, he is the best of the best.

Dr. Krienke found some suspicious nodules on my Thyroid gland by touch and recommended that I go to a surgeon for further diagnostics. Within one week I was on a operating table at Seton having my Thryoid gland surgically removed; I had 7 cancerous nodules. Dr. Krienke is a thorough doctor and his physical exam that fateful day in 1996 saved my life. I am forever grateful to him. He is the best, bar none. Pleasant manner, keen intellect, and up on the newest medical findings. You cannot go wrong with him.
