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 saw Dr. Kram for my knee. He was thorough and listened to me before explaining my options and his recommendation for treatment. 4 weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus, my pain is almost completely gone.

Dr. Kram has seen me for several broken bones over the years. He always fit's me into his schedule the same day. He is always thorough, asks questions that matter, and truly listens. I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Kram was kind and considerate. He explained the degeneration in my spine in terms I could easily understand. His treatment plan got me back on my feet quickly. Thank you Dr. Kram.

After a bad fall, Dr. Kram was able to see me early the next day. He was sympathetic and caring. He checked in on me regularly throughout my rehab and recovery. I’ve recommended him to family members and friends, who have all experienced the same attentive care.

I would definitely recommend and use him again for any further orthopedic procedures. He fixed my two torn meniscus and I was up and around in 4 days. Other friends have had the same thing done by others and they were out of commission for 7. The pain is bearable and the incisions are minimal with just 3 stitches.

Totally missed the boat here. Exam seemed thorough but communication was horrible. Scared the crap out of me and my husband by referring me to another specialist without any indication of why or what he was thinking. I have no time for doctors who cannot communicate or spell out reasons behind why they are making recommendations. Who knows maybe it was a bad day or something but that gruff, monosyllabic manner is not for me.

I had a knee ACL reconstruction procedure done by Dr. Kram. Initially, he was not the kindest or most compassionate doctor, however, during my follow up appointments I came to appreciate his strong character. From the beginning he has be professional and answered my questions as frankly as possible so that I am fully aware of my condition.
