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. While at the Buncke Medical Clinic, Dr. Krucoff learned cutting-edge techniques in lymphatic surgery and gender-affirming surgery.

My experience with Dr Krucoff and her staff was amazing. I was concerned about a surgery but she put my fears at ease. She's not only bright and skilled, but also very kind and caring.
