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.

After several decades, I had to have my reconstructive cancer surgery done again. My breast was ruptured. Dr. Kol Kryger did the surgery. He made me feel so comfortable and he was so confident.. His staff was unbelievable. Freddie, Meghan (hope I spelled that right), Brittany, the doctor's PA, and Sunshine. I was quite nervous about the drain. Brit, the doctor's medical assistant gave me all kinds of instruction before the surgery. She even gave me something of her own to help with showering. Freddie was my first contact. She put my mind at ease and called me as soon as there was a cancellation. Meghan answered all of my many questions. Sunshine, what an appropriate name for their receptionist. And Brittany, the PA helped me to process the information the day after surgery. My surgery was on a Friday. I had a bunch of questions and Dr. Kryger was right there to answer every single one and with such care in his voice. I never felt like I was bothering him. Thank you so much. xo Rhory

This guy works magic!!! My 5 year old son got a bad cut over his eye that needed to be stitched up. This happened on a Saturday and waiting till Monday would have made the wound heal badly. Dr Zol was happy to come in on a SUNDAY morning!!!! to stitch up the wound, that is unbelievable. I was really nervous because my son does not handle pain very well and I couldn't imagine how he would handle getting a needle poked in his eyebrow and a doctor sewing him up. Dr Zol was so smooth and so calming and he did it in a way that my son didn't (and still doesn't) know that he had a needle in his eye!!! Zol was so gentle and entertaining that my son was perfectly calm the entire time!! This guy is a magician!! I can't thank Dr Zol enough and recommend him enough!!

I had a dog bite that resulted in my finger coming almost all the way off. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital. They called Dr Kryger in to reattach my finger. He showed up to the hospital within a half hour. He was very nice when i met him. He really did a great job saving my finger. If it was not for Dr Kryger that day i would not have my finger anymore. He was honest with me about how it could turn out. He took his time to clean the wound. He did an amazing job reattaching my finger!

FTM Top Surgery Review - Overall I am really satisfied with the results. I had had a breast reduction previously and so Dr. Zol Kryger re-used all my previous incisions and removed the nasty dog ears from my prior surgery. He was really aware of scarring possibilities and took whatever means possible, including special stitches to ensure minimal scarring. He had to re-attach my nipples and I have to say they look natural, even though it will take a little bit of time for their natural color to c
