Dr. Kripp is an "American-friendly" doctor specializing in pediatrics. I was referred to him by an…read moreAmerican contractor who has resided in the KL for well over a decade--in other words, he's run into enough doctors to know who is good and who is not. His office accepts private insurance coverage, provides commonly required child inoculations/immunizations, and is staffed by personnel who speak enough English to schedule and complete appointments. And, most importantly: Dr. Kripp is excellent with children, has wonderful bed-side manners, and exhibits a calm demeanor that eases both children and parents alike--espeically helpful when administering shots. I hope you'll find, as I and my did, that he is not rushed, methodicl, yet relaxed in his work. His practice is worth the travel into what can be a busy area with street-side parking in Kaiserslautern. Please keep in mind: 1) Appointment guarantees service. IDK about walk-ins, call ahead. 2) It often gets crowded; he's that good, and is worth the wait. 3) Even if it is crowded, Dr. Kripp tends to move efficiently through his appointments. I've rarely waited beyond 20 min past my scheduled appointment time.
