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.

I came to her a repeat lubricant shot for my left knee. I knew I would probably have to wait for the ok from the insurance company but I went in any way. Dr. Kruse always takes time with me and explains all of my options - I’m not just a piece of bones and muscles to him. He truly is an amazing professional. I know that he and/or his staff will follow up with me when they get the ok!

My husband had Dr. Kruse do his double knee replacement as well as his hip replacement and we were so impressed. It was a no-brainer that I use him as well when it was time for my knee replacement. He and his team are incredible - very caring and attentive. His appointments were always timely but he always spent as much time with you as needed. Any questions I had were answered immediately and completely and when I had issues, they took care of them immediately. We highly recommend them!

Was able to get an appointment with Dr. Kruse immediately. Took a few X-rays and told me my problem was arthritis. Said he could fix it for the time being and gave me an epidural injection, said I should feel better in a few days, then sent me on my way. I could not ask more.

If this were a 10-point scale, I'd give ten points. I feel like one of the luckiest people that would have the misfortune of having orthopedic issues to be able to have Dr. Kruse and his team as my surgical group. I just returned to work after my second total knee replacement surgery. I had my first one with Dr. Kruse three years ago. Every single thing about my experiences except the general pain of such an awful surgery was amazing. If you know anyone who needs this type of surgery, you should do everything in your power to get to TCO, and if you're lucky enough to be able to see Dr. Kruse, you will be thrilled! His team is friendly, professional, and experts in their field. And the best part of the whole experience was TCO's Excel program which made this whole process seamless for me. I'm hoping I never have to have another orthopedic surgery in my life, but if I do, I will definitely be back and begging Dr. Kruse along with his team of staff to take great care of me again!

Dr Kruse is a wonderful person and surgeon. He really cares for his patients and also makes you feel comfortable when it comes to having injections, hip surgery or what ever you see him for. I have had both services and have recommended him to friends and others if his services are needed. There should be more Drs out there like him Dawn Reynolds

At first I discovered Dr. Kruse through an online search, of course, I was somewhat skeptical. I shouldn't have been. I met him a couple of times and he seemed very knowledgable and personable with plenty of experience doing total knee replacements. As a result, I decided to have him do my press-fit knee placement. Dr. Kruse did an EXCELLENT job. My new knee is aligned perfectly, the scar is the best my physical therapist and massage therapist has seen. I've had minimal pain after surgery and

Dr. Kruse is a hack. He wants to get in as many replacements possible for the money. He messed up three total knee replacements forcing me to retain a specialist at the Mayo clinic to repair his mess. This took years of healing and thousands of dollars. I still will need a fifth replacement of my other knee Kruse put in off angle and continues to give me pain every day.

Dr. Kruse did partial robotic surgery on both of my knees and I am so very happy with the results! I no longer feel like I am going to fall. I stepped in a hole in my yard & was able to keep from falling (this would not have happened before the surgery)! I knew three weeks into the first surgery that I had made the right decision! His staff at the front desk does such a nice job and the physical therapists Brian & Jason are just excellent! Thanks for giving me my life back Dr. Kruse & staff!
