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.

Dr Krauss was rude and unprofessional. I requested the notes from my visit for over a month because I wanted to send them to the insurance. He ignored three emails in just over four weeks back at that time. He only bothered to respond when I gave him a negative review. He also took down my review from that visit in March of 2022 which tells you all you need to know about this guy. I waited patiently for over a month to no avail. Also, Additionally, his assistant SUPPOSEDLY ran my medical insurance information and said I was IN NETWORK. Cut to nearly two years later and got yet another bill as out of network. I am not paying for a rude doctor that did not even offer any correction for my medical issue (was a referral from another doctor in his 'network.' I am very dilligent about checking PRIOR to any new doctor visit. Awful from the minute you get there until years later with billing nonsense.

You are in the BEST hands with Dr. Krauss!
Dr. Krauss is a fabulous eye doctor! I had some complications due to a cataract surgery gone wrong from another eye doctor. Dr. Krauss able to diagnosis the problem for me, after a year of going from eye doctor to eye doctor, optic nerve damage, from the cataract surgeon. Although it is a permanent problem, he did do my other cataract eye surgery with absolutely no problems. Dr. Krauss was very kind, thorough, & helped make my "good" eye see 20/20. He's just the best at what he does!!!

It is difficult for me to find words to describe the gratitude I feel towards God for leading me to this wonderful Dr. Howard Krauss. I truly believe he must be one of the finest neurological ophthalmologists in the world. For over a year I had a very severe and complicated condition of double vision. It affected every aspect of my life. I could not work, read, drive, watch television, or participate in most any type of everyday activity without this problem affecting me. After seeing numerous doctors I was directed to Dr. Krauss, who remarkably diagnosed two root causes for my condition, each totally independent of the other. He then performed two separate surgeries, one on each eye, and totally fixed my problem. The double vision is gone, and I now see everything clearly again. By God’s grace, Dr. Krauss has given my normal quality of life back to me. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness, willingness to help, patience, expertise, and skill. He is a true medical hero.

I honestly can not say enough kind words about Dr. Krauss !!! He is a Very Thoughtful, Kind, and Genius Neuro Eye Surgeon. I came to him with facial palsy caused by an emergency surgery that saved my life. I spent 20 days in ICU with my eye on high-beam - I wasn't even offered a roll of tape to close it. I came home a dizzy mess. I wore an external eyelid weight up until my eye surgery with Dr. Krauss. Any other Doctor would have just installed a weight into my eyelid. Not Dr. Krauss !!! He anchored my eyeball back into my head with his magical expert ways and now 21 days later I am not dizzy anymore! I thought that the dizziness was because the surgery I had caused loss of hearing in my right ear but as it turns out it was coming from my eyeball. I am feeling so good now !!! Dr. Krauss fixed my eye beautifully !!! I can close it naturally and it is looking normal again. I don't feel like I have to hide behind sunglasses anymore. I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL TO HIM FOREVER!

I am a recently retired nurse of 35 years. I saw 5 outstanding specialists locally. I was referred to THE BRAIN TUMOR CENTER, St John’s Santa Monica; seeing Dr Kelly 1st, who arranged an immediate Consult with DR KRAUSS. Bottom line, I DO have a problem with my optic nerve. I’ll communicate with Dr Krauss via email & I’ll see him regularly; to be sure the vision loss is stable. Having dealt with debilitating headaches & vision loss for OVER 6 months & FINALLY getting answers & a plan-PRICELESS

Dr. Krauss was not worth my time. He thinks a lot of himself and tells you. He did not diagnose me properly and I will not be back.

It's a month after my visit and I am still waiting for my report from Dr. Krauss. I was told his reports typically take 2-3 days. My neurologist usually takes 1-2 weeks, so I was patient for the first few weeks, but now it's a month late, my disability insurance company has stopped my payments because my neurologist was waiting for the report before submitting my forms. This is unacceptable. I've had to ask 4 times and still don't have it.
