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.

Known him for 45 years. The very best. He is family to us .

Best.PCP.Ever! After 30-40+ years of medicine he is still kind, compassionate, and thorough! I never feel rushed or insignificant. And I am registered nurse practicing over 20 years. I have seen and worked with many physicians. I had an injection in my shoulder this morning. He came in early to accommodate my insane schedule. He held my wimpy-pitiful, hand (figuratively speaking) through the whole thing. If you can get into his practice, I highly recommend this awesome doc

When you think of Dr’s from the past that’s what you’ll get with Dr. Kraft. He is truly one of a kind, caring, listens to you and doesn’t come to conclusions before you’ve even finished explain your problem. We’ve been patients Since the 1980s I dread the day that he retires.
