Highly recommendMar 2024Dr. Kruger is THE BEST!Mar 2024Wait time for appointment was2 hrs before I saw doctor. I know he is retiring so he is very busy. The unfortunate thing is that the receptionist never told me he was running behind. I went to the front desk 2 times to make sure I was not forgotten. They then contacted the nurse who said he was very behind and they wouold call me next. Various other patients who came after me were going in and being called but they were seeing another doctor. The receptionist(s) never said a thing until I asked and overheard them tell another patient he was behind.Mar 2024Like Dr Kruger one of the best I have ever had.Mar 2024Staff has always been helpful.Mar 2024Wonderful mannerMar 2024Dr Kruger is only the best all the way around. Dr. Kruger cares about each and every one of his patients. Dr. Kruger listens to what you have to say, about you concerns and cares then he answers each and every one of your questions and concerns to your satisfaction, if you don't understand he will explain so you can understand.

At the 40 minute mark, I asked a nurse when I would be seen. She said "you checked in early so that is why it feels like you have been waiting a long time." I checked in 15 minutes early, like we are asked to do, and it was 40 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. It didn't "feel like" I was waiting a long time - I was waiting a long time. No answer was given to me about how long I could expect to continue to wait. At the end of the appointment, I was told a nurse would come in and finalize my heart monitor information. No nurse ever came in. I waited an additional 10 minutes before I walked to the nurse's station and asked what I was supposed to do. No one could give me an answer, and it was suggested that I check out. When I was checking out, no one had any information ready for me in regard to the heart monitor. All in all, I was at this facility for an hour and a half for what should have been a quick follow up appointment. I am very disappointed in the complete disregard of concern for my time. I find it difficult to want to return to this office.Jan 2024ALWAYS OUTSTANDING..!!Jan 2024[...] ALWAYS OUTSTANDING..!!Jan 2024I forgot my hearing. Everyone was very helpful with me understanding what was being said.Jan 2024Arrived at 9:50 for a 10:15 appointment. Finally saw Doctor's assistant at 11:40.
