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.

I received an anterior hip replacement from Dr Kreuzer 4 years ago. Amazing results and best possible experience. This method of hip replacement is much better than the traditional approach, and it was pioneered by Dr. Kreuzer. It enables a much quicker recovery because no muscles are cut. There is almost complete freedom of movement quickly and now 4 years later. Exceptional results!!! And Dr Kreuzer’s stalk and PAs are top notch!

Skeptical
I have been going to Dr. Kreuzer’s office for about 3 years and had knee surgery in January. I have seen him maybe 5 minutes that entire time. Kevin has done a wonderful job helping me. Dr. Kreuzer never sees me or talks to me. After surgery he called my husband and all he said is, It’s all done.” Never talked talked to me before or after. After 9 weeks the knee still hurts a lot and it’s very difficult to walk.

Steroid Shot DID NOT HURT
I've had issues with my right knee for quite a while, finally decided to do something about it. Was recommended to Dr. Kruezer by my Heart Dr. I went in with the intention of finding out what was going on with my right knee not wanting to bend but not to get a shot. When it was at last time to meet Dr. Kruezer, he told me a shot would alleviate the inflammation which was what was keeping me in pain and from bending my knee. Inflammation cream was a maybe and pain medication I was already doing on and off and didn't want to leave with nothing. He assured me the steroid shot wouldn't hurt....and he looked trustworthy. It didn't hurt I am so happy I got that shot. I've been able to get back to my walking exercises!!!! He said you never know how long it will hold. if it hold for 6 months to a year....wouldn't mind having it again. Thank you Dr. Kruezer.

One of the only doctors who was willing to replace my hip (which was collapsing and could not be saved). When he walked in, he remarked “oh you are young!” I momentarily thought “oh no, here we go again” and I replied, “please don’t hold that against me” and he said “I never would.” Right then, I knew things would be different and he would see me as a 37 year old who needed help regaining her active life rather than a liability, as most of the other doctors saw me. I am now almost 2 weeks post replacement (mini hip, ceramic on ceramic) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I am walking normally, without pain and getting stronger each day. He is a caring doctor, even in the middle of this Pandemic. His team is wonderful (really like his PA Kevin) and I enjoy their recovery app, very streamlined and effective post operative approach. I am so thankful for Dr Kreuzer—he gave me a new lease on life and my family is grateful as well (we have 2 young children, 4.5 and 2). Look no further.

Love this Dr. He knew right away that I needed a repair of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles which prevented me from walking for 7 seven months. So glad I left the Katy Dr that wanted to do a replacement. This man is truly an expert. So happy I have my life back. PA Kevin very good and oversaw my rehab. Great team.

beyond terrific. he took as much time as i needed to ask questions about the procedure and the recovery. The results have been better than I could have imagined. Both times, I was walking without a walker in about 7 days. It's been about about 8-9 years after I had both hips replaced. I have no pain and don't realize I have anything in my hips.

I had my hip replaced by Dr Kreuzer 5 weeks ago and I'm back at work with little to no pain. Fantastic! The anterior method is the only way to go and Dr Kreuzer is the best in the field.

My dad had his hip replaced by Dr Kreutzer. Surgery went well, he was sent home with exercises, but NO post op physical therapy was ordered. We had concerns about his leg strength and I spoke with a nurse to have a Physical therapy order written and was told Dr Kreutzer does not recommend it. My dad has no hip pain but he almost cannot get out of a chair without help. I have spoken to many people who have had hips replaced and ALL have done PT post op. Borders on negligence in my opinion.

Dr. Kreuzer is one of the best Orthopedic surgeons. He has performed both hip replacements, a knee replacement, and also a revision to another knee that my wife had problems with from a different surgeon. Whether you are having replacement the first time or need a revision Dr. Kreuzer is the one to see. We are very pleased. Rick & Betty Willis

Would not go to anyone else even in Houston with its large availability of medical professionals and facilities. He treats you with respect, listens and is at the top of the game as far as orthopedic surgery is concerned. Have had two hip surgeries over the course of ten years and they could not have gone smoother especially the second hip. His PA Kevin Lancaster is also top notch as well as the rest of his staff at Inov8 Orthopedics.

Excellent bedside manner. Thorough review of info I brought to him for second opinion. He gave me advice that was in keeping with what I thought might be best and now I am avoiding invasive surgery at least for the moment, allowing more time for my damage to heal on its own and with physical therapy Staff very respectful and pleasant and helpful
