About
Philosophy of care
I think medicine always needs to be practiced within the context of what is right for each patient. Two patients may desire to handle the identical situation differently, and as long as their choices are safe and suit their goals, I am comfortable being flexible with how I manage their care. I feel strongly that common sense and a humanistic approach should always guide us.
Why I entered medicine
I find pregnancy fascinating, and working with pregnant women is incredibly rewarding. I love to learn and teach, and I find medicine a perfect career for this endeavor. We are always learning more in medicine and passing on that knowledge to our patients, our students and our young doctors.
Personal interests
I enjoy outdoor activities, including running and swimming.

Comments
"When I left there I felt a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I've been so scared from what I had to face in the past with other doctors telling me have ms and being pregnant, really isn't recommended but after being seen here they assure they will be with me the whole journey."
"Staff were all incredibly friendly and proactive in addressing any questions or needs I might have. There was a potential complication during an ultrasound that could have been a very potentially scary situation. However, the ultrasound technologist stayed calm and supportive. Dr. Kraus did an exceptional job of explaining what they saw on the ultrasound and why they are potentially concerned about it, as well as what my potential options were, offering me reassurance that no matter what the outcome was, that me and the baby were safe and healthy and in the best, most capable hands!"
"Everytime I visit this office I have a great experience"
