Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kruger has performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes and both of my wife's eyes. No trouble in any surgery. His approach is conservative and seems to shy away from risky treatments that can have negative results even if the patient wants it. He is a safe bet for necessary care. While no doctor is absolutely perfect, Dr. Kruger has never disappointed me in the many years I've been his patient.
