Dr. Krafczyk has been helping me with my hip pain...very caring and knowledgeable.
He is the best!
He gave me knee injections using using an ultrasound machine to get the percise injection spot. That was the first time I have every had them done that way. No pain it was very nice.
He is a people person, takes the time to explain what is wrong, and talks to you, not at you.
Dr Krafczyk was thorough, efficient and professional, as always. He was careful to listen to and address my concerns.
Professional, understands my priorities -and met my expectations.
He was able to help me make some decisions concerning my sciatica and he rechecked my right knee which was injected with stem cells and plasma

Listened to my concerns did a thorough exam and gave me options
Excellent doctor
