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.

Great service by Dr. Krug. Very attentive to my issue! Also, staff was very professional, timely, and friendly. Would go back again!

I liked everything about Dr. Krug. He is an excellent communicator and listener, quite open to a collaborative relationship with me as his patient, very respectful, and followed up on questions and issues promptly. While I hope to never need surgery again, I would certainly consider him my first choice for future surgeries.

I had the most horrifying experience of my life here in November of 2016. The fentanyl and Versed didn't work on me but the nurse Kim just giving me more. I ended up with a stress reaction and panic attacks afterward which she then prescribed me a high dose of lorazepam (which I felt was wreckless after the fact) I had varicose vein surgery, which left my lower leg numb, swollen, tender and Suddenly I have more varicose veins than I ever had before- all this 8 months still after surgery.
