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.

Always pleasant and readily available. Explains things in a manner that is easily understood. I trust him implicitly.

We brought our son into emergency the room which turned into an emergency surgery. Dr. Kraklau and his team were called in to perform surgery and he and the team were wonderful. They explained and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend the doctor and his team.

You Don't Need to go to Chicago!
Exceptional! Kind of doc you'd hope to see at U of Chicago, Northwestern or Rush. He's here! He was that good to me, a prostate cancer survivor, active 70 year old, with once a year symptom, and did a scope after CT, and diagnosed my situation perfectly with recommended next steps. Trust this doctor!! He is that good!

Dr. Kraklau is very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable in his field of Urology. I highly recommend him as a Urologist. I have been seeing him for about 10 years and have had 2 surgeries. He also was my mom's Dr.

BP – Apr 03, 2021

After peeing blood for almost a year I was Dr Kraklau was recommended by my primary doctor after several cat scans, ultrasounds, blood tests. Dr. Kraklua found a tumor in my bladder. Specimen was about 3cm. The pathology report left out a lot of detail. But I have requested my slides. During my post surgery follow up I had no idea what my pathology determined. The nurse made a hint while taking blood pressure. And then nurse practitioner was surprised I didn’t already know. Dr kraklua was not at this appointment and never spoke to me since my results showed high grade bladder cancer. NP said Lakeland has never seen 26 male with bladder cancer since average age is 73. I got a second opinion after I felt let down by lack of communication. I felt he did the surgery and he is my doctor. He should be the one to tell me I have cancer so bluntly. Now I am seeing a urology dr at Chicago university hospital.

I can't say how happy, enough I am about Dr Kraklau. I can be restless and hyper about situations when I visit him. He's always managed to treat me and explain things to where I really understand and get what he's saying. I want to always go to him and trust fully with out question when he says something what I have and how he wants to tackle the problem. Thank you a million Dr Kraklau this world needs more people like you.
