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.

Scary Incompetence
Dr Krengel diagnosed me with kidney cancer. (Later determined by multiple other providers to not have cancer/not even signs of it). He recommended he perform surgery immediately after he formed his opinion. Thank goodness I went for two more opinions. No cancer. None. Nothing to even lead to the diagnosis. Upon final review from my now provider I attempted to get my medical records from Dr Krengel and they were changed. I would not recommend nor would I ever return to this provider.

I was referred to Dr. Krengel by my Primary Care Physician when diagnosed with kidney stones 2 years ago. Dr. krengel provided excellent care, was very attentive to my needs and provided accurate counsel about treatment plans. In addition, Dr. Krengel is in my top 3 of all time favorite providers in my 70 years of life. His office staff is highly efficient and he has always been "on time" for each one of my appointments over the past two years!

My father Tom has been going to Dr. Krengel for many years. Dr. Krengel always takes plenty of time to understand his Prostate cancer and other urology issues. He is knowledgeable, patient and compassionate. Can't think of enough good things to say about Dr. Krengel!
