Yeah, I love Dr. Kruger, but I don't like the virtual visit. I'd rather see him in person. Okay. Thank you.

My experience with the office staff and Dr. Kruger was awesome. Dr. Kruger specially. Dr. Kruger is awesome at what he does. I had a Lap band done and a tummy tuck and of course the tube that the saline goes into was moved a little so it's a little tilted and Dr. Kruger always gets it on the first try to add or take out saline. I had some bad experience with other doctors and Mid levels trying to find the tube to stick the needle and one time I had 3 people trying to find the position for the needle to go in and all three did not succeed and that was the worse day of my life. I was poked and poked so many times.Every time I have a problem I ask for Dr. Kruger because he gets it on his first try. He is just amazing doctor. Will give him 5 stars all the way around with no hesitations.

I appreciated the opportunity to employ the face to face video consultation with Dr. Kruger.I hope this service can be used in future to discuss concerns and answer questions, or make plans for future care. It was a very effective physician visit from my point of view.

Dr. Kruger broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand and follow. He also drew a diagram on the white board that was very helpful.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings. Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office. The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
