“Yes I would recommend. Wasn't able to see the doctor I was scheduled for. Super friendly staff great beside manners. Doctor was very empathetic to my special situation. Going back next week. Like how he didn't jump right to surgery since I've already had 4. Like how we are trying other opinions first.”

The staff was very nice and professional. Dr Kruse was extremely polite and answered all my questions. He did the procedure very quickly and without any pain. I have been suffering with this for 10 years and he jokingly said that I will regret not doing this sooner. I can truly say that I do regret not doing it sooner. I work in an ER and know the situations the Dr.'s see and do. This was nothing like that and I would go back in a heart beat to see him without concern. Thank you to all of the staff from the moment that I walked into the office to leaving.
