    Dr Krienke has been an excellent doctor for all the many years I have had him as my primary doctor. His professional manners, great medical knowledge, listens and answers any question I have about my medical health issues. He is nice and personable about my wellness care. It’s gonna be difficult to find a primary doctor when he decides to retire.
