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.

One of a kind
Juliet Kral is a treasure to the breast cancer community and the reason many of us are still alive today. She combines a wicked intelligence and extensive knowledge with a kind, down-to-earth, connecting approach with her patients. My fight with breast cancer had two episodes: a stage 1 (localized to the breast) diagnosis in 2003, and a stage 2 (armpit) recurrence in 2006. In both cases, Dr. Kral applied her vast experience to come up with the correct approach and shepherded me through difficult chemotherapy treatments. In the case of the recurrence, she openly addressed why the first treatment had failed and came up with a more aggressive therapy that succeeded and which I'm alive to tell about 15 years later.In addition, Dr. Kral is an excellent manager to her staff, making the entire treatment experience even pleasant (can you believe I'm saying this?!?) because her employees feel like her team. Juliet Kral is an exceptional physician and an example to her field.

Dr. Kral is smart, thorough, and caring. Not fuzzy/warm caring, but take action caring. She addresses all issues and side effects of treatments with your best interest in mind. She never dismisses any problems and investigates thoroughly. I've been really happy with the care that I've received over the last three years. Hopefully she will be my doctor for a very long time!

Dr. Kral always has your best interest at heart. She is highly intelligent and skilled. She basically saved my life... got me into a clinical trial at the last moment is just one example. I can't say enough good things about her. You can completely trust her. Linda Wright

I have been seeing Dr Kral for the past nine years. She is patient, thorough and always aware of the changing protocols for my genetic situation. Dr Kral has collaborated with 3 of my other doctors on my behalf, I highly recommend her.

Dr. Kral is a highly professional, intelligent, no-nonsense, skilled doctor. Shes been my oncologist for over 29yrs. I have absolute & complete? trust in her. She's not going to be a 'huggy' or warm & fuzzy type Dr but its her skills, competence & care of you that you need anyway. Over time as you get to know & understand her better shes less stern like. In my case, I adore her.

She's fully enlisted in your person and treatment plan. She's a true partner and advocate. She'll fight your cancer and she'll fight insurance companies to make sure you get the care you deserve. She'll text you and you're free to text her. Hence, you feel she's always available and connected. When it comes to patient care, she's simple the best.
