Growing up in a family of nurses, I learned early-on the importance of good bedside manner and clear communication. Each patient is unique, and the most successful physicians are those that listen first and talk second. I start each day remembering that it is a privilege to take care of people in their most vulnerable moments.

About

Dr. Krucoff is a Wisconsin-native, having grown up in a small farm town before completing her undergraduate degree at UW-Madison. Dr. Krucoff then earned her medical degree from Johns Hopkins University where she finished at the top of her class, leading to her induction into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. After this, she completed her plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Duke University during which time she earned several research and teaching awards. She then moved to San Francisco and completed the hand and microsurgery fellowship at the Buncke Medical Clinic, considered by many to be the birthplace of microsurgery.

Everything was great!
Everyone I in countered at Froedtert has always been very professional and courteous. I feel I have received excellent care every time I have an appointment.Dr Krucoff is an exceptional physician and her staff OT, receptionist, medical assistant etc are all just phenomenal. Thank you
Doctor was very through with explanation of procedures, very supportive and caring
Dr. "K," of the hand clinic, is an amazing practitioner. She was very warm upon entering the exam room. She very quickly assessed the situation and came up with a definitive diagnosis. The treatment she provided today might only yield temporary relief. However, I feel completely comfortable that, at my follow-up appointment in six weeks, her assessment at that time will be medically sound. Her entire staff worked well together and were respectful in every way.
Dr. Krucoff was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, compassionate, and answered all of my questions.
As always Dr. Krucoff and her staff are top notch! I'll absolutely recommend it to my family and friends, excellent care for me as a patient but better as a person!
Excellent service
Very caring physician
It was my first time meeting with this Dr. She was friendly from the moment she walked in, explained my test results, what to expect before, during and after surgery thoroughly.
Dr. Krucoff and her team are the best, hands down. They always make me feel very comfortable and have a great, fun bedside manner!
She really eased my mind, I felt so much better after I left, I was so worried when I got there.
Dr. Krucoff had a great bedside manner and fully addressed my specific concerns. She was able to take care of my issue right away, which is something that rarely happens in my experience. I greatly appreciated her ability to spend time with me, answer my questions, and complete an unscheduled in-office procedure. Thank you!
My visit was a very good light, bright and uplifting experience
Dr Krukoff was amazing! I am very excited to be working with her
I loved meeting with her and feel very safe in her care. She showed concern and sympathy for why I wanted a breast reduction and worked to get me the best chance at insurance coverage.
Everyone at Dr Krucoff office was wonderful, I am very grateful I went to see Dr Krucoff and feel confident that she will be doing surgery on my hand.
Great personality, explained at a level that could be understood. Explained treatment in detail and best path to start based on observations.
Excellent physician. Knowledgeable, thorough, kind, thoughtful. She explained the options. Grateful for her treatment. Promote her to Professor!
Dr and student did very well. I like how the doctor explained things to the student and to myself. I liked that she sees there is a lot going on and told me the truth of the situation and isn't just in it for a paycheck. I was very nervous about this appointment and she made me at ease. She is a very good doctor and very good at connecting and explaining the best interest for the patient. Thank you for helping me get through my worries and agree that it doesn't make sense to make another wound when I'm already dealing with multiple infections and sepsis.
She had amazing energy. Was personable and actively listened to my concerns.
Dr. Kate krucoff and the entire staff that is helping me is great. As you can see - only can type with one hand riight, but hope in time my fractues heals with all their continued help.
Dr Kate was great
Dr Krukoff was kind and empathetic. Took the time to explain the emergency surgery performed and anticipated outcome. Reviewed most recent X-rays and treatment plan. I feel very fortunate that she performed my surgery!
Dr Krucoff is very personable and has a way of making everyone comfortable and including them in ideas and decisions.
Dr. Krucoff is amazing in every aspect of care, before and after surgery.
A true professional and wonderful personality
Dr. Krucoff was very respectful of my identity and was good to listen to everything I had to say and ask.
Dr Krukoff and staff are amazing
