“I have been a patient of Dr Krause for 44 years and the only complaint I have is that I was told I had to become a "NEW" patient again because I did not see him since 2023. My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2022 and although I did not personally have a medical appointment, I did accompany my husband to his appointment with Dr. Krause. I was more concerned of my husband's health than mine. Perhaps St. Luke's could send a reminder to a patient before taking them off the books as a patient, especially someone who has been with the same doctor for over 4 decades.”

The doctor who will be filling his spot at the practice will have some big shoes to fill. I can't even imagine going to a PCP that isn't Dr Krause. That being said I do wish him well in his retirement. I Think the whole town of Tamaqua will be a little sad to see him go. He is so iconic in the healthcare there.”

“Dr. Krause has been our family doctor for over 30 years. He has always shown compassion and attentiveness to all of our needs. With my terminal diagnosis he has been extremely supportive in any "crazy" ideas I have of treating it with changing my diet and using a vibration plate and tapping and meditating and just knowing there is nothing medical out there for me. His staff has also always been respectful and really great at calling with test results and showing their concern for my overall health.It was so great to have a one-stop shop on my last visit; seeing Dr. Krause, going for bloodwork, coming back to the office for a Vitamin B shot, then getting an x-ray all within an hour of just walking back and forth in a parking lot! He is gonna be hard to replace:(”

(He was not St. Luke's.) If I had waited, like that gastroenterologist told me to my stomach would have died from lack of blood flow. Dr. Krause is excellent.
