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 was diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer in 2019, Granulosa Cell Tumor. My gynecologist referred me to doctor Kramer. He staged me 1a at that time and acted as if it was no big deal. 2 years later I am now having a recurrence and again was sent to doctor Kramer. While there I asked him why he staged me 1a when my tumor was not encapsulated, it had ruptured in my abdomen. He said “it’s just a letter”, it wouldn’t have made a difference. He actually put in the report summary that “She remains extremely anxious and has clearly spent an inappropriate amount of time “researching” all of this”. He was obviously angry that I questioned his staging because he was WRONG! Ladies please do not go to him, he does not care! We have a RIGHT to research and advocate for ourselves and to receive the best care that we can. His remark was very inappropriate and condescending. Research ladies, ask questions and get second opinions. Some doctors don’t have your best interests at heart! He’s one of them.

2017 I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer .After radiation and chemotherapy I was cancer free. 5 Years later 2023 I developed cancer of the lymph nodes.Finished chemotherapy in June and seen Dr Kramer in July with a good report I'm cancer free again.I can't say enough about Dr Kramer .He is a kind and caring Dr. if you need hug and reassurance he is right there for you to ease your worries. he is a very skilled and professional Dr that is up front with you and let's you know what your treatment will be. His staff Miranda and office workers reflect his professional talents. What a blessing it is to have such peace of mind when I arrive for my appointment. I can say that Dr Kramers talents are not his alone ,only God hands out Gifts like that . God loves you Dr Kramer for all the good you do.??

This man missed a cancer diagnosis from my CT scan from February 2020, and messed up my hysterectomy from January 2020 requiring me to have more surgery in March 2020….Dr. Kramer would not give me a referral for treatment at MD Anderson, I had to get my family Dr to send referral…. I have had 10 chemo treatments and pray I survive this horrible disease. I wouldn’t let Dr. Kramer touch my dog!

Absolutely, Dr Paul Kramer is my hero. He is kind, patient and a super physician. I trust him with my life. His staff are a great reflection on his professionalism. I am thankful to have such a great cancer team. I want to point out Miranda Thomas. I see Miranda every three weeks, she treats me with respect and love and takes care of my upcoming problems quickly and efficiently. A heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Was referred to Dr. Kramer by my gyne after a hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Dr. Kramer read my pathology report and advised radiation and chemo. I chose to get a second opinion at Vanderbilt in Nashville. The oncologist gyne there had a PET scan done and lymph node removal. No cancer was found. There was no need for radiation or chemo as advised by Dr. Kramer.

Dr. Kramer was wonderful! His sense of humor puts you at ease and his explanations and expertise gave me confidence that I had chosen the right doctor for my surgery. Had no issues and the pre-op, procedure, and recovery time were exactly as he anticipated.
