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.

Pain relief every time
I hear of my friends who get epidurals from other places with no relief. I have always gotten relief with Dr Kraus. His team is friendly and helpful. He has been my pain doctor for nearly 20 years. I highly recommend him and Tennessee valley pain clinic, but especially Dr Kraus.

Great Dr with a lot of knowledge and experience.
Dr Kraus seemed genuinely concerned about my back issues and responded quickly to get procedures started to relieve pain and discomfort to get me back on the road to recovery. It’s very comforting to know you have a doctor on your side that has the knowledge and experience that Dr. Kraus has earned. I feel very fortunate to have him as my Dr.

Medial Branch Nerve Block Lumbar Injection
Yesterday Dr. Kraus performed a Medial Spinal Block on my lower back in a very professional manner. The support staff were fantastic and Dr. Kraus was as well. It is too soon to know if the procedure will be effective but I am hopeful it will last. The Spine and Neuro Center and the TV Pain Management Center are excellent providers.

You can't be in safer hands!
I started to see Dr. Kraus after another pain clinic in TN nearly killed me in 2022! The first thing Dr, Kraus said to me after reviewing my medical history and background was 'Mike, you are safe now.' I never felt such relief in my life as when he said that to me and my wife. He started my treatment from the begining and didn't just pick up where other Doctor left off. It was starting all over again from the bottom up but that was safe! My pain is controlled now with a PAin pump installed in my side. I only go ever three months to get it refilled and adjusted if needed. Joint pain is worse in the winter than the summer so we adjust accordingly. Dr, Kraus's, Nurse Practicener, Barbara, is wonderful and I enjoy talking with her. She is a God send just like Dr. Kraus!

I always recommend Dr. Kraus
Dr. Kraus and my NP, Lori, go above and beyond expectations every time. They listen, I never feel rushed through appointments, they are compassionate and they are honest. I get significant pain relief from my procedures and the nurses, technicians and support staff on procedure days are so kind and respectful. I have been with Tennessee Valley Pain Consultants for over 10 years and because of the care I receive from Dr. Kraus and his staff I can enjoy my life.

Be with DR. Kraus for 2 years outstanding DR.
Telehealth
Dr. Kraus and his staff at Tennesse Valley Pain Clinic are highly trained and highly professional at all times. He and His Staff care deeply concerned about all patients and their quality of life. I would recommend Him and His Staff to anyone looking for medical professionals who work very hard to accommodate all patients and meet all of their pain management patients. I am extremely satisfied with all the help Him and His Staff have provided me in giving me a better daily quality of life.

No good doctor. He has lousy bedside manners. I am worse than when I went to see him. I went to see him for back pain and he kept doing more and more injections. They made me worse. Kept pushing narocotics at me even though I told him I did not want them.
