    Dr Krienke has been my primary care since 1981. I would say he knows my medical hx quite well.

  • July 9, 2025

    I don't have to wait a long time to get an appointment. He is quick to get a diagnosis; because he asks a lot of questions , and because he has been my doctor for years!

  • July 9, 2025

    I really appreciate Dr. Krienke's bedside manner, desire to allow patients to express themselves without judgment and to really hear and understand what they are trying to explain. I hope he stays forever but would be willing to follow him wherever he chooses to practice!
