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.

Model Doctor!
So sorry Dr. Kraft is retiring. My internist for years, always knowledgeable, caring, thorough, and free with his time. In others words, everything one would desire in a person overlooking your health.

patient and caring
Dr. Kraft is very conscientious; he was thorough in his examination, asked good questions and was clear with his explanations. His followup, after test results, was succinct and I appreciated his humane attention to detail.

He's been the best
I have been with this practice and this doctor since 1999 and have always had positive experiences. Dr. Kraft is retiring and I wish him well and am confident that the other doctors will continue to provide the same quality of care that he did

The best ever
Dr Kraft is one of the most insightful doctors you will ever meet. He always looks at all aspects of one’s health and how each medical procedure you undertake has an effect on the other steps you are taking. He has been my doctor for about 25 years and has always given me excellent advice and medical care. You could not find a better doctor.

Best Primary Care Physician Ever
Dr. Kraft is truly an outstanding physician: warm, caring, thorough, a careful listener, meticulous, and he has a sense of humor. He has generously gone the extra mile for us several times when we really needed help in medical crises. Sadly for his patients, but splendidly for him, he is retiring. We will miss him terribly but wish him the very best for a happy future! MMS & LPC

Dr. Kraft has taken care of my husband and me for more than 20 years. We could not ask for a better physician. He is compassionate and caring, extremely knowledgeable and experienced, refers us to equally terrific specialists, responsive to contacts -- in other words, just about perfect.

Annual physical for 2022. Dr. Kraft is a superb physician. He is very thorough, once having pursued many clues before the discovery of a tumor in my spinal column in 2003. I am here today because of his skill as a doctor.

I had an annual visit , probably the last before Dr Kraft retires. My husband and I have seen Dr Kraft for decades and will miss him terribly. He’s a wonderful, warm person and an outstanding diagnostician. I wish him well throughout his next adventures. He’s a dedicated physician and will be beloved wherever he goes.

Best Doctor Ever
Dr. Kraft is a very thorough, caring and knowledgeable doctor. He ask the right questions, listens well, gives you the time, has great follow up, and knows just how to get to the heart of the matter. He will be sorely missed, as he is retiring in June. No one could ever replace him adequately.

Careful, Attentive, Follows up
Dr. Kraft listened carefully to my symptoms, examined me, ordered tests. He called me with test results, and explained them. Then, when more results came via email, he emailed me to ask me how I felt, then advised me on how to handle my recovery. He could not have been nicer.

This was a 30 minute virtual visit, that did not require in-office attention. However, Dr. Kraft has been my primary doctor for over 20 years, and I have always gotten the finest attention and care from him and his office.
