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 have had Dr. Kramer do one surgery and will have him do another one soon. He is very thorough and explains things well to patients and I personally like his personality. He does not come across as arrogant and seems to go with the minimum and least invasive techniques rather than a bunch of things you don't need. I can't think of a reason to seek another general surgeon and think if you go with him you will glad you did.

I went into the emergency room on 5/23/2017 with a ruptured appendix. Dr. Kramer did a great job keeping me alive. He was very nice after wards and I felt very comfortable with him. He listened to be during follow up appointments.

He is very considerate, nice, and a very good surgeon. The staff where he works is also very wonderful. I would use him for any surgery I had and have also recommended another person who was very pleased with his talent.
