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 Seth Krum Top Knotch Doctor
This review is a long time coming. My viewing hasn't changed. Top notch Doctor. What stood out for me was his down to earth mannerism. Excellent bedside manner. Caring and understanding. Thorough. The nicest doctor I ever met in my life. He performed bilateral knee surgery several years ago on me and I have never had a problem since. I highly recommend him. Mary Monahan

Not a Chance
Doctor Krum performed a double knee replacement on me 5 years ago, and I had trouble with one knee from Day One. Visiting him repeatedly, he told me there were no issues and at one point told me I "exercise too much". The pain was unbearable and worse than before the replacement. Finally, I sought other opinions and wound up with a highly respected surgeon who looked at my X-Rays and CT Scan and, in 2 minutes, told me the replacement was rotated and loose. This earned me a second knee replacement and 6 months of Rehab with a different doctor that finally put me back on track. There is simply no way I can recommend Doctor Krum.

I have treated with Dr. Krum for over 12 years having 2 rotator cuff repairs and 2 total knee replacements. I consider myself very fortunate to have a kind, compassionate, caring doctor. He and Dolores have treated me like family from day one and I cannot express how grateful I am.

Very respectful and took the time to answer all my questions. Thought I’d need surgery but he took a conservative approach. Gave me a pain free injection.

I had DR. Krum do two knee replacements, and never had a problem again. My wife had him do two knee replacements and one hip. Again she hasn't had any problems. He also did a carpal on one of mine hands and one on my wife's hand. No problems at all. We think he is excellent and he also has a very good nurse. We wish he was our family doctor. He is very concerned about every patient.

Dr. Krum performed my total right knee replacement March 2016. Unfortunately I fell on the knee & never experienced the benefits of the knee replacement. July 2017, I had knee revision surgery due to the fall, which resulted in knee instability. Surgery involved replacing the lower implant, replacing the spacer & tightening the lateral ligament. 7 weeks later, no problems. 5 years ago, Dr. Krum performed bi-lateral total knee replacement for my husband. No issues whatsoever. Highly recommend

He is the best Orthopedic Dr I have ever dealt with. He is compassionate, listens and really know his stuff. I would recommend him to anyone. From the time you walk in the door and are greeted at the reception until the time you leave it is an awesome experience Judi Harris.
