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.

best ever physician
I am in my late 70s and have not been happy with many previous physicians in part, I believe, because they don't seem to care as much because of my age. Dr. Kraske has been my primary physician for approximately 5 years and I not only think he is highly competent but he always seems happy to see me (something I have never experienced before perhaps because I have so many medical issues that require over a dozen prescription meds). Unlike previous physicians he doesn't make me see specialists constantly--he is so competent and experienced he almost always is confident of a diagnosis and treatment, although he doesn't hesitate to refer me to a specialist when he thinks it is appropriate.. Furthermore, when I have requested appointments with specialists he immediately picks up the phone and makes an appointment. He is definitely the best internist I have had out of a dozen or more.

Outstanding Care
Dr. Kraske is a caring and compassionate physician. His strengths are his ability to listen and respond to any health questions, major or minor. I have found him to be my partner in healthcare as he anticipates both current and future care needs of acute and chronic conditions. He is personable as are the nurses and medical assistants on his staff. Medical laboratory and X-ray facilities are in his same office. I always leave appointments feeling my issues have been addressed completely as my doctor truly cares about me and my needs! I feel we are lucky to have a down to earth physician in our community!

I've seen Dr. Kraske for probably 8 years now. He's friendly, knowledgeable, quick with a referral when needed, and makes it easier to navigate the world of healthcare.

Possibly a good man but a horrible doctor. If leaving no stars was an option that would have been my choice.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Kraske. We've found him to be very professional but easy to talk to. I especially like the way he listens intently to your drescription of your problem.

About Me

care philosophy

I believe that effective health care comes down to the relationship between patient and physician, which must be built on trust. I don't rush my patients and I communicate respectfully and clearly with them. I often use analogies and diagrams to help patients relate complex health issues to real life.
