Dr. Kreulen is very knowledgeable and thorough. He explained my condition in terms I could understand and answered all of my questions. Best of all, he walks into the room with a genuine smile and warm attitude.   I have worked with Dr. Kruelen alot. He is very helpful in terms of providing solid info on available treatment interventions and potential outcomes good and bad. Exactly what a good doctor should do. Also performed a very nice repair on my torn shoulder/bicep.
