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.

Awful and totally uncaring doctor, Lord have mercy if you are stuck with this doctor

Dr. Kruger is great. His demeanor is calm, positive, attentive, flexible, and personal. His staff is also friendly and professional. My wait time in both the waiting room and the exam room was very short. I was treated for plantar fasciitis. I was in severe pain. His recommended treatment was a cortisone shot in the affected foot. He did warn me the injection would be painful and he was right! But within a couple days I was completely pain free. I can now enjoy my upcoming vacation.

4/2018: Dr. Frederick Kruger, podiatrist. This guy is a total arrogant narcissist. After waiting for an hour, Dr. Kruger walked into the room & asked me why l was seeing him. I told him that l had 2 rigid big toes, to which he cut me off & said nothing could be done, because at 52, l was too young for anything other than meds which he stated wouldn't really help. He then flippantly stated "what else?" I told him l was experiencing intense pain in both heels. He said hmo doesn't cover orthotics!

I had a good experience with doctor. I liked how he tells things the way they are. NO sugar coating. He spent time with me and answered my questions. He even suggested that if I wanted a second opinion he was open to it, he even suggested that I do it. He was very specific about what he wanted me to do after surgery to help with the healing. But if you dont want the truth or can’t handle it then this doctor isn’t for you. I have referred many of my friends. He is very good at his profession

I had an ingrown toenail treated, and it was so painful!! He numbed the toe, but there was an area that was still sensitive, which I didn't know until he started cutting into it. I told him that it was painful, and he proceeded to ask me to describe the pain. Apparently, I didn't describe it to his satisfaction, so he insisted that I wasn't really in pain at all, that it was only in my head. It was some of the worst pain I've ever felt, and it was awful to be unheard and devalued in addition.
