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.

Best doctor
You go for the doctor, not his staff. Dr. Kramer is the best. He listens and is thorough. Have seen posts about his staff being rude. Never had an issue with his staff, but then , I've never been rude to them. Been a patient for over 25 years and will remain one as long as he's in practice. Worth the occasional long wait.

.I have been going to Dr. Kramer for years and he is an excellent Doctor but his staff is rude. I needed a reauthorization for eye medicine and My Insurance goes through CVS Caremark(mail away). Every time I needed a reauthorization I have to jump through hoops but I was willing to overlook it because I like my Dr. but this time was the last straw. They said don’t go through CVS they use Melody Pharmacy. Why they couldn’t go through CVS they wouldn’t give an explanation. So they use Melody and Blue Cross turned them down. I called back and explained it to them they have to go through CVS. They wouldn’t do it so I told them I can no longer have Dr. Kramer as my Physician anymore. They said ok. This went back and forth for about a week waiting on hold for 10 minutes till they pick up and got disconnected twice.. What I do not understand stand if you take my health insurance why won’t you use my mail order pharmacy that my insurance company has authorized?

I have found Dr. Kramer to be exceptional in his professionalism, knowledge, and overall care. He is patient and takes the time to assure that you understand all aspects of your care and treatment. Having had an emergent situation with one of my eyes, Dr. Kramer was able to fit me in on the same day for evaluation and treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Kramer.

Dr Kramer saved my eyesore when I had a detached retina. He took me right away and the laser surgery was done immediately. Although the office wait is always very long (hours) Dr Kramer is wonderful!
