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 would not recommend anyone sending a family member or friend to this office . My brother is a patient of Dr. Kraus'. He has been his doctor for at least 4 years. He has not seen him in person in the last 2 years. He just keeps refilling his prescriptions. Which include Opiods without any regular blood test. Also he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism over 2 years ago. He is still on the initial .25 mcg starter dose. And again no blood test to check his thyroid levels. He is morbidly obese and was put on oxygen. They only gave him a portable oxygen machine that only holds a 30 minute charge and has to be plugged into a wall plug. He has called the office several times and just gets the run around. He is an insulin dependant diabetic and has had a double bypass. With his low oxygen levels and unchecked Opiod meds he has no clue ¾ of the time what day it is or if it is day or night. He had an appointment a few weeks ago. and was only seen by a NP. who didn't even listen to his heart.
