Exceptionally skilled surgeon.
After many years of lower back pain I found myself at a standstill. Dr. Kruger was recommended to me by 2 medical professionals. I scheduled an appointment. My MRI and X-rays pinpointed the problem. Dr. Kruger explained the required surgery noting that this condition would only get worse over time and the surgery was the only way to fix it. I had the operation,almost a month ago. Each day I feel stronger and walk a little farther. Not a small feat for someone hardly moving prior to the procedure. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon complete with a team of extremely knowledgable and dedicated staff both in his office and at the Spinal Institute at Saint Francis Hospital look no further. Would I recommend him? I already have and will continue to do so!

Dr Kruger and his staff were awesome. Had neck surgery almost a year ago and he kept me up to date on everything. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs his services very professional and understanding Jill M

I went to te Rocky Hill office. I loved it. It was snowing Dana and Jeremy helped me in and Dana and Hannah helped me out. Julie was very nice. I liked the Office staff. To me that's very important. the first time I met Dr. Kruger I told another medical professional, "You can tell he knows his stuff." On Friday, he said, "We are going to forego surgery for now." I can't tell you how happy I was to hear that, but also because surgery isn't his first option. He answered all my questions and then listened to my cannibal joke. Q. What did the cannibal's wife do when he came home late for dinner? A. She gave him the cold shoulder!!! He laughed whether out of politeness or because he thought it was funny, he still laughed. He then told me his cannibal joke and then a play on words joke. Between he and his staff, I had a very good and fun visit.

This was my second back procedure performed by Dr Kruger ( both for different issues) . Dr Kruger and his staff are among some of the best. The office takes care of your needs in a timely fashion and are very professional. They really care about how you are doing after the procedure. HIGHLY recommend Dr Kruger and his team.

I was very happy the way everything was explained. Does not beat around the bush, tells it like it is. I will continue to see him for any problems

I am grateful for Dr Kruger and his PA Kelsey. They both took the time to teach me about my pain. They used my imaging to show me why I do not need surgery. The Dr suggests a non Surgical plan- core strengthening, PT and weight loss. I am not going to lie I am relieved I do not need surgery and fearful of the lifestyle changes I need to make to help my pain. I will start with a good physical therapist and core strenthening. I owe it to myself to try hard at this. The time and teaching I received from Dr Kruger made me believe this is my only option for pain relief.

It was a refreshing experience to meet Dr. Kruger. His honesty is refreshing and his approach to treatment is intelligent and concise. As I told him, "I love him!"
