    He took my issue seriously, examined my eye thoroughly, and explained clearly what was happening to cause my symptoms. I was very grateful for his knowledgable care. The only thing I could suggest is that he explain a little more what he is doing at each stage of the exam. For me, it would put me more at ease.

    The wait time in the exam room was extremely long - 45 mins.--- he did not explain the results of my eye exam in terms of whether there were any changes since my last exam as it related to my diabetes, he said I needed cataract surgery but did not explain what that would involve or what I would need to do to prepare for this surgery.......other than to tell me I had to get measured....whatever that meant was not explained. Dr. Kruger had me waiting in his exam room for 45 mins. and spent less than 10 mins. with me and barely explained anything to me.

    I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. I was a little anxious about the procedure. Dr. Kruger explained in detail what to expect. He made me feel at ease. The surgery went well. Dr. Kruger is a great doctor.
