From the first visit with Dr. Dugdale to the very last visit I had great service. He also uses a program FORCE which guides patients with exercises and information for before surgery on what to expect & post-surgery information. This was extremely beneficial. If I need to another surgery on my other knee I will definitely go back to Dr. Dugdale.

Through physical therapy and massage, the pain is now managed. I'm back to tennis, which is my passion. Now he's helping me with my lower back pain - a 12 year issue of degenerative disc disease and mild scoliosis that's been bothering me more since I took up pickleball recently. Life is better when you keep moving and with guidance, that's what I am continuing to do, for as long as possible!!

I was suffering from shooting pain through my butt and down my left leg -- sciatic nerve pain. I…read morehad tried chiropractic relief, rehab therapy, and received two cortisone injections to my lower spine. The pain got so bad I couldn't bend to put on socks or lift the mattress to make the bed. I had reviewed many local surgeons on line and settled on Dr. David Kruger in Bloomfield, Ct. Others have stated.he is a surgeon who will not jump at a chance to use his surgical skills and in my case, while he was reserved and serius about the possible outcomes of surgery, he was also quite confident he could help address my problem only after thorough review of my MRI. I too was not hoping for surgery but I had exhausted all other options and when Dr. Kruger showed me the arthritis affected bone pinching my nerve we agreed to surgery. Surgery went well, and Dr. Kruger performed an L3 and L4 laminotomy and foraminotomy. I had been worried about the recovery period, but all went much better than I could have imagined. I was home the same day of surgery and took one of the painkillers before bed. As the anesthetics wore off it was immediately apparent my pain was gone. I never needed additional pain killers and went to work the next day (I work at home so did not need to drive). Recovery was painless aside from some stiffness where the muscles were cut. Although I felt fine and thought I could return to playing tennis after a couple of weeks, the Dr. recommended I wait at least 6 weeks. I tried, but in the fifth week I played tennis on Friday, golf and tennis on Sunday. No pain, nor stiffness. Honestly, it hurt more to remove one of the staples than it did for the surgery, and this was an anomaly. I highly recommend Dr. Kruger as an honest surgeon whose main concern is working with the patient to find the best solution for their problem -- even if this does not include surgery. In retrospect, I am disappointed with the Dr. that had advised I get the cortisone shots (not Dr. Kruger, but the folks at Hartford Hospital) as it seemed the MRI presented ample evidence the shots would have no affect. Is is great to be pain free just in time for golf season and I am enjoying playing tennis multiple times per week. Thank you Dr. Kruger.

I admit that I have never been a fan of formalized physical therapy. To me it seemed like a waste of time and money. As a runner I knew what i needed to do to rehab myself and did not know what else formalized PT could do for me. Recently though I developed a nasty case of right hip tendonitis that refused to go away and so after much consideration I decided to bite the bullet and see if maybe formalized PT could "cure" me. It also helped that my running czar (Mark C) said "what do you have to lose". I have to say after going here for about a month I am happy to report that I am much better and although not "cured" I am on the road to recovery. All of the therapist's, especially Helen who has been working with me, have been extremely helpful and always have a positive attitude. After an initial assessment during my first appointment I was prescribed exercises do during my appointments and on my own. Whst has been even more more therapeutic has been the assisted stretching and massage that has helped immensely by really getting down to the trouble spots. I was concerned that I would be given the same exercises and left to my own devices BUT every time I have gone to an appointment and something changes for the better or worse my therapy program has also been modified. I feel that they treat me as a runner and are working not only to get me better but to run pain free It sucks getting hurt but I am glad that I went. I have learned some new things to add to my routine.
