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.

My visit with Dr Kruse was the best ever. He spent time with me and explaied how he was going to take care of me with my post Covid issues. I really liked his respect for me. Therefore, I am switching doctors to be under his care. My son and his family are also under his care. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Kruse has been my primary care physician for about 8 years. I am a somewhat fat old man with some arthritis and pre-diabetic. He has helped me manage my arthritis and pre-diabetes while encouraging me to get more exercise. (which I have done) I have found him very competent for my conditions. He listens well, does not over-prescribe meds, will consult with other doctors as required without sending me to a specialist all the time. He speaks in plain English and explain things well. His staff in Waukee and Pleasant Hill are compitent, polite and helpful. They can even find veins to draw blood from a fat man without excess pain. I've seen no reason to change doctors.

Dr. Kruse helped my son when he had to get shots. He was fun and cheerful and energetic and completely distracted my son from the fear of the shots. He's a fun and warm person, making it easy to interact...and very approachable. Going to the doctor is never fun, but he made the experience seem like it was!

I followed Dr. Kruse from Mercy Urbandale. He is a wonderful, compassionate doctor and I've always been very impressed with his treatment. I have recommended him to several family members and friends and they've all thanked me because they all love him. He is also great with my kids. Highly recommend for any of your health care needs!

Proclaims to manage medicine with his patients, but listens and makes decisions not regarding side effects of the medicine told to him on a regular basis. This is dangerous with any kind of prescription medicine and it is why I would not recommend Dr. Adam Kruse to anyone.

I asked Dr Kruse about a medication he had me on being on a list of 50 worst medication to take. His response he never heard of it. I even gave him the website it was on. All he did was ask me what I wanted him to do.
