    Dr. Krug is an extremely intelligent, kind, informative, proactive, concerned caregiver. I found her to be extremely on top of my health situation, very knowledgeable about all the aspects of my health, very informative about anything that she was doing and that she wanted me to, felt it was important for me to know, and answered all my questions very clearly, concisely, and with much detail. And I would definitely highly recommend her to anybody, and I do recommend her to anybody who needs an endocrinologist. I did find it one thing difficult that was hard to get away.

    Dr. Krug is a very good physician. Her appts were running late on the day of my visit, but did not effect her time with me. Since my appointment is generally made a year in advance, it is not a problem, but I could not change the day of my current visit until about six months later, so I had to keep the one I had on September 16. Unfortunately, this is common in medicine today!

    The provider was excellent, but I felt that the clinic was understaffed and so the rooms were not prepared properly and the machines were not turned on before the appointments. There also was a problem with the system that it woudnt populate my dempographics, so my ultrasound couldnt be saved to the system. This was bevause no one was taking responsibility for the clinic running smoothly. My provider was patient and excellent but she also wishes things were different in the office. I had an overall positive experience, but the appointment took a long time because of the wait for the machines to start up.

    Ms. Krug was very, very nice. And she showed a lot of concern. And the only thing that she didn't ask me about, and I didn't think she was supposed to, was what medicines I was taking, since I'm only taking one. But she didn't ask, and I didn't volunteer. And the clerk who waited on me when I got the appointment and when I came back for the appointment, she was very, very nice, very pleasant. And she deserves an A+. Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you.
