My only gripe was punctuality....we were on time but still had to wait. Dr. Kriger is not my son's PCP, however I did leave impressed for the first time since my son was born. I have been through 3 PCP's trying to find a pediatrician that can actually put a baby at ease during the office visit. Babies are naturally fearful and nervous around people that aren't their parents and my son was no different. When babies get scared elevated levels of cortisol are released and this has an impact on how they view doctors visits growing up. Dr. Kriger seems to be the first doctor that realizes this because he carries a toy mickey mouse and a toy winnie the pooh attached to his steathoscope. I was trying to distract my son during the examination and to my surprise he placed his hand up asking me to step aside. I did and he gave the ear device to my son to allow him to play with it a little. He then showed it to him by examining the ears of the toys he had attached to the steathoscope. My son was immediately put at ease and began to relax. This is the first time that this has occurred in my son's life during a doctor's visit. This is what I have been looking for in a pediatrician for almost two years now. I could care less about whatever his mannerisms are towards me as long as he is presenting me with factual information which he was. Dr. Kriger has thus far beaten the pants off of every pediatrician I have seen since my son was born in the hospital. He reflects great credit upon himself and the pediatric associates whom he represents. Thanks Doc....we will switching PCP to you. Keep up the good work and keep the kids relaxed during their visit.

As a patient, I've been seeing Dr. Kriger since I was two days old. I am currently 19 years old and he has become my inspiration into becoming a Pediatrician himself. One of his featuring attributes is his bluntness when telling parents how it is but he does it only because of his experience. My parents and I have put all of our trust in him only specifically because he is a doctor and loves what he does not for the money which is something you will notice right away. My parents didn't know a word in English so his bilingualism was a plus and the staff was always helpful in making sure your child's health and happiness is made. He loves his patients and makes sure there's a consistency with keeping his patients because long-term relationships allow for a clearer and better diagnosis which he can capture quickly. He now has a scribe and his MA which allow him to now be able to communicate fluidly with his patients and parents and know whats going without needing to chart and login information while in the patient room. As for his punctuality, he has a HUGE demand which is why its hard to catch him, but every visit and waiting time is always worth it. He tries to refrain from medications unless necessary but from infancy to adolescence his experience in developmental psychology is absolutely a gift. As well he is aware of the pediatricians and specialists around the area and south Florida to see and he'll give his honest input. Honesty sometimes hurts but it is what builds us. Greatest doctor and pediatrician I have ever met!

Dr. Kriger have seen my child for almost 12 years always with the right diagnosis he is being always willing to help and support since my son had an ADHD diagnosis. He is not rude is just his personality. My step son had a severe case of low platelets as soon as he saw him immediately prepared everything for us to get to the hospital without any waiting his experience determined something wrong was going on, run tests at the office and sent us to the right place. Thank you for your support dr. Kriger.

I will never bring my son to be seen by Dr. Kriger again. I waited two hours for an appl when he walked in, he didn't say hello, or greet either myself or my son, nor did he make eye contact. went straight to the chart. He was rude, didn't let me speak, cut me off when I was explaining my son's symptoms, then diagnosed my son w a nervous tick, without even runnning any preliminary examinations. I let him know my son has been clearing his throat alot, and without even checking his throat for something as simple as a post nasal drip, he has labled him as having a psychological damage. really? unprofessional. rude.

This doctor is very rude and inconsiderate towards the staff; at one visit he would yell at the nurse i guess its to build he's ego. Arrogant yes... As for patients he doesn't even remember the kids name!!! He just sees everyone as a paycheck ....

It was painful to see my daughter in such discomfort and the doctor running from one room to the other. He would be always too quick and would not take time to talk to the parents. Never seemed to prescribe the adequate medication since the child would feel slightly better but would not recover fully.
