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.

Great experience!

Very professional
1st time visiting this Dr. Was very pleased with his thoroughness and how he went through his explanation of the issue. He reviewed the x-rays with me and gave me his diagnosis. Then proceeded to give me my options. Dr. Krummenacher was very open with his recommendations. He asked, what I felt, the important questions. Will definitely be following up with him.

Dr.Krummenacher is the best. He looks you in the eyes and gives you his attention when speaking with you. He tells you what is wrong, what needs to be done to fix it, and what to expect after treatment/surgery as well as what to expect going forward. I wish I would have found him before my first surgery. He and his office are 5 stars.

Saved my life
This man went to bat for me when the workers comp Dr said there wasn't that much wrong with me. Without his professionalism and him doing the right thing I wouldn't been able to work or function as a complete person. I am now 4 months removed from the surgery and better then 100 thanks to him and his staff. If you're looking for a hand surgeon then this doctor is the best in the business. Without him I would have ended my life because I was that lost. But when he went to bat for me against the insurance company and proved to them that I was truly injured then that is when my life turned for the better. Through hard work on my own and the support of him and his office I am a new man and back at work with a smile. A new chance to support my family and live my life. Thank you Dr kummenacher you r a saint. Sincerely Shannon Marshall

First and last choice for an arm surgeon
This was my second surgery ever, and with little knowledge how it all works, my experience with Dr. Krummenacher could not have been better. He met me within hours of the incident, and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I could tell he genuinely cared and answered all my questions. He ordered a MRI, and called me back 30 minutes later informing me that I needed surgery and that he had an opening the following day. So within 30hrs after getting hurt i was already in Recovery from surgery. And the team that assisted where excellent, had me laughing 5 minutes before I went under. It's been almost 4 months and with a few minor aches which I completely expected with the way I use my arm, I couldn't be happier with Dr. K. It wouldn't take anyone more than 5 minutes sitting down with him, to know this guy really care about your health and well-being.

AMAZING!!!
Dr. K did my elbow surgery and he did an amazing job. I wish I would have gotten my brace ordered a little sooner but other than that, it has been a great experience. I would highly recommend. The whole staff is amazing. I was incredibly nervous and they made me so comfortable.

Hand Surgery
Approximately five years ago, while trimming the yard with a weed eater, (to which I had attached a saw blade), I accidentally cut my wife's arm. She wanted a wild Japaneses Honeysuckle cut out of a bush, and had pointed to the portion she wanted removed. Not knowing, when I proceed to cut, her arm was still in the bush, and as a result, the blade cut the back of her arm approximately 6 " long. The blade severed the mussel body, and the tendons that provide movement to the two middle fingers of the hand, We went to several doctors, and they all said, they could not reattach the tendons to the mussel body, and thus restore the original figure movement. That is not until we went to Dr. Krummenacher. Although a month had passed, and the tendons had shrunken, Dr. K. was able to estimate where to reattach them, and thus allow her to have full function of her hand. She now has full movement, and can type on the computer. A remarkable surgery. A truly remarkable doctor. Thank you, Dr. Kru.

I BROKE MY DOMINANT WRIST LAST YEAR IN THE FALL...SURGERY AND HARDWARE INSTALLED. MID FEBRUARY THE TENDON TO MY THUMB SEVERED BECAUSE OF A LONG SCREW INSTALLED. PANIC SET IN BECAUSE MY THUMB QUIT WORKING... EVERYONE NEEDS A THUMB. I FOUND MOTION ORTHOPEDIC, DR. K HANDLED MY CASE. HE IS A HEARTFELT DR. WITH EXPLANATION TO ALL PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED, REALLY SET MY MIND AT EASE FOR RECOVERY. EVERYONE IN HIS STAFF WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. HERE IT IS 10 MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL WRIST BREAK AND ALL I CAN SAY IS A BIG THANK YOU TO DR. K AND HIS STAFF FOR PUTTING MY WRIST/THUMB BACK TOGETHER. I WAS VERY SCARED AND ANXIOUS TO HAVE ANOTHER SURGERY, ESPECIALLY WITH RE-ROUTING TENDONS. YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED MY INJURIES. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DR. THERE WERE MANY OBSTACLES I OVERCAME WITH HIS HELP. LOSING MY THUMB USE WAS NOT AN OPTION! THANKS AGAIN DR. KRUMMENACHER AND STAFF, I'M FOREVER GREATFUL. I WILL BE BACK IF I NEED HAND OR WRIST TREATMENT IN THE FUTURE.

Dr. Krummenacher operated on my wrist after a bicycle accident. I have had no complications from the surgery almost four months later and my recovery has been fairly quick given the nature of the injury. In addition to Dr. Krummenacher himself, the medical and office staff at his office are very pleasant and professional. I hope I never need an orthopedic surgeon again, but if I do I would not hesitate to return to Dr. Krummenacher or any of his associates.

My employer chose this doctor for me due to a workplace injury, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Dr Krummenacher has continued to impress me through these past few months of treatment. He immediately made me feel at ease during an otherwise stressful event. He explained the extent of my injury, what his plan was for surgery and how he would get me back to full function post op. He never rushed my visits and took time to discuss any issues that came up. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others and feel confident that they would receive the very best of care with him.
