Dr. Kramer is a superb Pulmonologist. PERIOD. My brother, who is also her patient, and has had more interaction than I, considers her as more than an excellent clinician... a kind, considerate healer. Last year, I posted a review complementary of Dr Kramer's reputation, but critical of the unnecessarily and surprisingly rude treatment I received from one of her staff members in the process of obtaining my initial consultation with the doctor. Now, seven months later, I have received a reprimand from Yelp stating that "We ask that reviewers avoid commentary that reinforces stereotypes, makes light of physical or sexual violence, or otherwise includes unnecessarily graphic or offensive descriptions. In this case, we felt that your content crossed that line, even if you didn't intend it to." Of course, NONE OF THAT IS REMOTELY TRUE!! NONE! I have no qualms about my original post being deleted by Yelp. But I do object to untrue allegations towards me or anyone else. To be clear in the distinction here, Dr. Kramer is excellent, my experience with her has been excellent and I unhesitantly recommend her. In the course of ordinary living, I experience rudeness frequently but that would not ordinarily cause me to write a negative review about it. The rudeness of this one individual was unnecessary and memorable, so I did post a review about it. Moving to the present and to the credit of Dr. Kramer's office and staff, I could not have been treated more kindly during my actual office visit interactions. So kudos to all in that regard. read more

I have personally seen and experienced how great of a physician she is! Not only is she very knowledgeable and skilled, but she possesses deep and genuine empathy for her patients and their families. She is very approachable and honest and handles very stressful situations well. I highly recommend her for her remarkable intellect that is backed up by years of experience, but more for her caring heart. read more

Dr. Kramer is amazing! Her bedside manner is excellent and she always makes me feel like she cares. I've been her patient for several years and I feel like I hit the jackpot with having her as my physician. Her staff is awesome too! I highly recommend her and her expertise! read more

I have first hand knowledge of this physician. Dr. Kramer is one of the best and brightest pulmonologists I have ever met. Her competence, passion for excellence, and heartfelt care for patients is at the core of her practice. Her bedside manner is truly compassionate, and down to earth. She is truly a phenomenal critical care physician. I genuinely recommend her without hesitation! Thank you Dr. Kramer for your care! read more

Dr. Kramer is amazing..I appreciate doctors who give heart and soul and are committed to excellence.

Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to see this physician, I ended up making an appointment with another pulmonologist. The management of her office scheduling protocol is extremely poor. The front desk personnel are almost 'frantic' on the phone, and lack professionalism. As a new patient, I waited 4 months for an appointment, only to be told my appointment needed to be rescheduled out another 3 months. Clearly she needs to implement a practice management system to better accommodate patients. read more

Dr Kramer is smart, honest, and hard working. I trust her with my lungs and to take care of me.

Dr. Kramer is a fantastic female pulmonary specialist. She's part of my army of women Doctors that have given me excellent care. She is young, knowledgeable and has a good deal of current information within her field. She is part of a larger Pulmonary group, which seems to be staffed with some older Doctors. I will generally wait to see her, as I feel she's more in touch with my needs. She always runs very close to on-time, and her office assistant Jennifer is very good about returning calls. Always a plus to have a good staff when you have a very busy doc. She works part time, which also makes scheduling a challenge, but she's worth the wait. It is sometimes difficult to get in to see her, and she seems to have a fair amount of cancellations due to on-site hospital care.... which is understandable. An office visit doesn't hold the same weight as a patient's needs while in the hospital. read more

Dr. Kramer is absolutely the best as is her assistant, Tina. They are a great team. [She moved offices a while ago-- but her new office on Lennon Lane off of Ygnacio is just down a ways from the old one. In fact, I like this office better than the old one.] Dr. Kramer is thoughtful, listens well and has excellent training. I think it is good that she has dual specialties in both pulmonary medicine and critical care. That means she spends some of her time over at John Muir in the ICU. To me that means if I ever had need to go to the ICU [which I hope I won't] she would be present if it was her week to be on-call there. I actually found Dr. Kramer upon the recommendation of a Stanford trained cardiologist-- he said she was "the best in the area" ! So if you have need for a pulmonologist, I would highly recommend Dr. Kramer. read more

Dr. Kramer has been a fine doctor to support my Sleep Apnea treatment, but I have had incredible difficulties scheduling appointments. Her office staff rarely answers the phone and takes a long time to return calls, if they ever do. The last time, I went into the office to schedule an appointment because I was unsuccessful doing so over the phone. read more

I saw Dr. Kristina Kramer's from 2013 through 2015 for 1-2 visits per year, and had my yearly appointment scheduled with her on 9/22/16. When I last saw her in Sept. of 2015, she ordered an imaging scan of my chest area, which I completed at John Muir Health/Neuroscan Dept. on 10/14/15. At Dr. K.'s request, I contacted her office, talked with Tina, her pleasant office assistant there, and told her that I had taken the test. I asked that Dr. Kramer contact me if there were any serious findings and that I would come in to talk. I did not hear from her office and assumed that everything was fine. I went for my appt. at her La Casa Via office on 9/22/16. Her office was no longer there. I found her new address on Lennon Lane from another office in the building. I called 2 times that day and 2times the next day, explaining my situation and requested a call from her office each time. I received none. Then decided to contact John Muir for the imaging result. It was not good. Dr. Kramer had received the test almost a year before; and had not contacted me. The last recommendation on the test result stated that I should consider surgical consultation. I do not consider Dr. Kramer to be a woman/physician of integrity. I have not had a doctor act this irresponsibly before and would never recommend her to anyone that is considering becoming her "patient". I have spoken to my family regarding this situation and am still considering contacting the state medical board in order to file a complaint. I have not done anything like this before; but if she continues to be careless with others as she has with me, it could be unsafe for them. read more

Excellent doctor! Found her about a year ago after going through a string of mediocre doctors and will never give her up. I feel like she actually listens to me and takes the time to provide top notch care. Five stars! read more

I have seen Dr Kramer once and although the visit with her went OK, there are other serious concerns. So far, have been alarmed at the inability to get through to reach her office via phone or electronic communication. Vast majority of time, you do not get through to a live person and are left with leaving a message and recording says only to leave a message for non-urgent matters. There is NO WAY TO REACH HER OR HER ASSISTANT if there is an urgent matter other than phoning repeatedly and praying that someone answers the phone. I phoned 50 times yesterday and was unable to get through. I have sent electronic messages and can see that three of those messages have not been viewed and one is over 48 hours old. The first message I sent took 5 or 6 days for assistant to view. I imagine that Dr Kramer believes everything is fine, but there is a very serious communication problem. Dr Kramer ordered tests and I have a follow up appointment to review the results of the tests, but there was a problem with how the tests were ordered and I cannot schedule the tests until issues are addressed by Dr Kramer's office. I even contacted my internist's office and they tried to address the problem and were told that only Dr Kramer's office (the ordering physician) can fix the problem. Even my internist's office could not get through and ended up leaving a message on the same system as a patient uses. They had no other menu options. Very concerned that tests are being delayed as a result. Also, her assistant, Tina, had me leave the office and did not give me the paper work for one of the tests. I received the order (which still is not usable) in the mail several days later on a Saturday. No sense of urgency. This is very concerning. No matter Dr Kramer's skill as a physician, if the office/practice is poorly managed, it negatively impacts patient care. read more

Dr. Kramer is the best. She has taken care of my entire family including my mother in law and Dr Kramer went so far above and beyond for my mother in law. and always does a great job. I am so lucky to have her as my pulmonologist. I couldn't ask for a better one. Oh yes and her receptionist [Tina] is wonderful also. she always works with my crazy schedule and is always pleasant. and very very good at her job. read more

Dr. Kramer comes from exemplary training and has amazing depth and breadth of knowledge. Her procedural skills and composure under pressure truly makes her a boss! read more

I am a retired NYC Firefighter and September 11 Survivor, I spent 17 hours in the dust and smoke that day and could not see my hand in front of my face and I had Zero respiratory protection, my lungs filtered everything, the dust cloud has been described as the greatest toxic cocktail of poison in history, I was told I would not last 10 years, In 2011 the Zadroga Act was past to help the many sick and dying and thats how I became so lucky to have met Dr Kramer,my life was so out of control,I was a danger to myself, sick and just waiting for the end. Dr Kramer saved my life and she also found me the orthopedic and psychological help I So desperately needed. I'm sure I was a difficult patient- full of anger and fear which is not easy to work with ( I can provide a list of Doctors who will agree). I see Dr Kramer 2+ times a year for my pulmonary needs. I look forward to our visits and her Smile and knowledge that puts me at ease. I know 9/11 will catch up to me someday but until then I am relieved in knowing I have a Doctor who has been there for me since the beginning when everyone else gave up or were to afraid to work with me. As far as office visits and call backs I give the office and Tina an A Plus. I could sit here and tell you all day how far and above my care has been with Dr Kramer but I think I made my point. To any and all FIREFIGHTERS, if you ever feel something wrong in your lungs please call Dr. Kramer. She is exceptional. read more
