Great experience
The front desk people are friendly and Dr. Kruse is very informative and let’s you talk about your problem and helps you too!
My foot care appointment was great!
I felt well taken care of and that the staff was very knowledgeable.
received excellent care. Entire staff, very professional and friendly and efficient
Dr Kruse is very personable and thorough. I recommend him.
Front office/support staff are not good at pre-op and post-op communication with patient. In addition I needed more instruction as to: what is going to happen, how I should plan my post-op care, what I will need to prepare at home, what I will NOT be able to do on my own, and then during recovery: what I should expect, what's normal, what's not normal. Rough timeline (a range bewteen best case and worst case) on what I may be able to do and when. This needs to be done by written communication from the doctor's office. Also provide "best way to contact us" info (so the patient doesn't have to push multiple buttons and then fail to make contact with a human.) I hope you can work out some improvements. Thank you!
The staff provided good instruction on post op care. Dr Kruse is a very very competent and a skilled clinician. I recommend this practice.
Dr. Kruse is very professional and pleasant.
After a recent hospital stay, my disabled daughter was referred to this group. While juggling cardiology, nephrology, pulmonology along with PCP and PT, this group turned my daughter away because she forgot her state ID. Keep in mind it was a referral, easy to get the info. Not only that, they were completely rude about it. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
I have gone here for several real years now. Everyone here is always friendly and helpful.
Dr. Kruse seemed very experienced and knowledgeable with my treatment! The whole staff was very professional! I would highly recommend their practice!
Dr Kruse is always so attentive and compassionate. He fixed my problem without hesitation. Love walking out of a doctor’s office feeling heard, validated, and fixed!!

Dr. Kruse listens carefully and resolves my concerns. Definitely recommend Dr. Kruse.
good dr. gave several options top 10 in my book
Great evaluation, took everything into consideration, including my expenses. They are Actually trying to heal my issue, and not just telling me to take meds As a solution. Which seems to be the main solution I’ve run into with other doctors.
Dr Kruze is amazing, thank you!
