Dr. Kruse, whom we selected to replace our recently retired primary care physician, was one of our parents' primary doctor years ago. Our experiences with him have been just as excellent as those we recalled when acting as advocates many years ago.
Providence Patient
This was the first time that I met Dr. Kruse. I was so impressed with him as a person and as a doctor. He was very kind, took time to talk with me about a cut on my leg, and reassured me that it was good that I came in to have it checked out. He also listened to another concern that I had with some pain that I've had in my right leg. He recommended an x-ray and gave me the paperwork to get that done. I was very happy that I made an appointment to see Dr. Kruse. I'm happy that he was assigned as my primary doctor.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Torsten Kruse is an excellent provider. I'm pretty sure that he could be even better if there were less constraints from the organization that he works for - I come from a time when the primary care physician handled most of my needs and specialists were required less. This seems to be a curse of the times that we live in. I'd like to see a time where 80%-90% of my needs could be handled by one doctor and with much less expense.
Providence Patient
Dr. Kruse is a very good doctor that treats his patients with professionalism, respect and care.
