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.

None Equal
Dr Krauss has been wonderful to me and is the very best in his profession. I had an awful compound fracture that other physicians in his field could not do anything with. Dr. Krauss performed the surgeries needed and the follow up care it took to get me back on my feet. He listens to what I have to say and is never in a rush. 13 years later I am still in that foot, I see him once a year, and I am never disappointed with my visits or his staff. I highly recommend Dr Krauss , there is none better!

Dr. Kraus has reinstated my faith in doctors.
After months of seeing doctors that are dismissive and lazy, never looking deep enough to help my son and find the cause of his condition; Dr. Krauss reinstates my faith in the medical community. Not only did he find the cause but he was professional and caring. Thank you Dr. Krauss.

Follow up appt.
I returned to your facility for a 3 week follow up after seeing Iris on my first visit. Waited 40 minutes in waiting room for my appt. Dr. Krauss came in asked how I was, told him still a bit of pain, he told me wear boots 3 more weeks then we’d discuss PT and left. Did not even look at my ankles to check for progress, pain, or swelling. Will not be returning for my next follow up.
