Dr Krueger is very informed regarding psorasis

April 16, 2013

Excellent!!

April 09, 2013

It went really well and spent more time with me than normal

March 19, 2013

Dr. Krueger is outstanding, and I consider him a friend from many years of service to me.

March 13, 2013

Dr.. Krueger is very condesending. Any question I would ask, he would respond in a way that seemed belittleing. He is more concerned with teaching and impressing the medical students he ALWAYS has with him, then he is in patient care. He constantly identifies things in latin or medical terms and unless the patient asks what he is talking about, he doesn't describe any information that the patient could understand. He also smirks and is condecending with questions that I would raise seeming to be very belittleing.

As before, dermatology rocks.

February 26, 2013

great and informative appointment

February 25, 2013

As usual, great experience

January 25, 2013

excellent care and experience

January 18, 2013

I came to Dr Krueger because my sister recommended him. I would do the same for others. I felt listened to and informed throughout the exam.

December 17, 2012

My provider looked so exhausted I don't know how he could be completely present.

December 12, 2012

I have been seeing Dr. Kruger for some time now. He spends the time with me that I feel is not rushed answering all my questions.

December 07, 2012

I had a really bad experience. I don't know why Dr. Krueger has a month wait list. It only took 20 minutes with me. He is really unfriendly and didn't explained things to me very well.

December 06, 2012

Dr. was very apologetic for extreme wait. Seemed confused, or uninformed about my waiting after ALL offices were closed, staff was gone. I caught him in the hall at 6:45 PM (my appt. was for 4:45 PM).

November 20, 2012

Dr. Krueger explained his opinion of my condition in a understandable, friendly manner. I feel confident that he knows how to treat my problem. In addition, the young doctor who interviewed me before I saw Dr. Krueger showed a real interest in noting my history and I was impressed with her intelligence and compassion. I would also like to thank Brook, Dr. Krueger's prescription assistant, for helping me obtain the two medications prescribed by Dr. Krueger in September. She communicated with my insurance provider several times and advised me of her progress, which required her to call me or return my calls. I appreciate her going out of her way to help.

November 12, 2012

I had additional questions about the medication prescribed at my visit and called. I left a message with the nurse who returned my call very quickly. When I had additional questions she follow up and calledme back and I spoke with Dr. Krueger for 10+ minutes. It was really great to be able to not only have an answer to my question so quickly, but to also be able to speak directly with him.

November 12, 2012

Dr. Krueger is the best

October 12, 2012

Dr. Kruegar is very knowledgable, and I believe in his expertise 100%. However, his "bedside" manner could use a lot of work. Perhaps it is the burden of trying to examine a patient while teaching a student (resident?) at the same time, but he always seems distracted. When I have spoken to him, he never seems like he is really paying attention, like his mind is always elsewhere. And when he speaks, I'm never sure if he is thinking aloud, talking to me, talking to the nurse, or talking to the students. I know he is a brilliant doctor, and highly respected in his field, but he could do a much better job of connecting with and engaging his patients. After all, he may see the same medical issues many times each day, but it should be remembered that these things are personal and unfamiliar to each individual patient.

October 05, 2012

excellent

September 24, 2012

I appreciate the amount of time that Dr. Kreuger spent with me.

September 18, 2012

Always a good experience

September 03, 2012

excellent appointment and care.

August 29, 2012

Dr. Krueger is very thorough and careful to go over every part of the skin that could be an issue. He is sensitive and gives helpful comments and recommendations.

August 06, 2012

I especially liked the way Dr. Kreuger and staff LISTENED to me.

July 30, 2012

I'm really happy with my care provider, Dr. Krueger. He is caring, and very candid, which I like - I think I almost have his dry wit figured out, too :)

July 17, 2012

Love, Love, Love Dr Krueger. He's just wonderful, full of info and easy to talk with.

July 16, 2012

I tell everyone I know about how great my dr. and his staff are!

July 07, 2012

Agreed with Dr. Krueger that we should be more agressive with the scalp treatments and hopefully get the upper hand on the problem. Should see the difference in a couple of months hopefully.

June 21, 2012

Love a doctor with a sense of humor.

June 19, 2012

I appreciated the positive feedback given by the doctor regarding the efficacy of the treatment.

June 18, 2012

Dr. Kruger was simply great and I will refer all my friends to him - He is a really good doctor

April 10, 2012

Always an excellent experience,never feel intimidated about asking questions,never have the feeling you are on an assembly line,especially appreciated because I have a chronic problem

March 27, 2012

When I meet the Dr. he seemed to be professional in appearance, calm and confident which are all great attributes but I also got the impression that he was not having a very good day. I felt like I greeting him with a smile and a positive attitude, he did not seem to give back much of the same response. I also got the feeling that he thought of me as being an uneducated young man. I feel his social skills were not very good and that he could have explained things in a more respectful way. I don???t feel like it was worth the time and money I spent to see this Dr.

March 23, 2012

Have been seeing Dr. Krueger for years. Always pleasant as well as the resident and/or student.

March 20, 2012

I had an IV medication infusion. I did not see a doctor, just the RNs in the Infusion Center.

February 21, 2012

Dr. Krueger is a great physician, and obviously extremely knowledgeable in his field. He's always cheerful and professional. However, he often seems to only be 50% engaged in any conversation. His mind/attention always seems to be at least partially elsewhere. And it's often hard to tell if he is talking to you, or the nurse/assistant, or himself. Perhaps it's just the inevitable reaction to the daily grind, to having done the same thing and dealt with the same problems day-in and day-out for so long... the way most of us tend to sleepwalk through the familiar parts of our jobs. However, it should be noted that, no matter how familiar any given problem is to him, it is often brand new-- and intensely personal-- to his patients. He should strive to focus on his patients the way he would want to be focused on if the situation were reversed.

January 26, 2012

I felt the provider was rude from the moment he walked into the room. T When I questioned the recommended therapy, I was told he was an expert in psoriasis. I'm not certain if that type of posturing works with the typical patient, but I did not respond well to it. I asked how the recommended therapy would provide benefit over my current therapy and received no substantive response.
