Tim Kruth, Nurse Practitioner, exemplifies integrity by communicating more clearly than most doctors I know. He listens attentively to patients' issues and integrates their suggestions into their care. By every account and encounter with Tim, he supports the VA’s mission & statements. Women who deal with sexual abuse can rest assured that Tim treats everyone with the utmost respect. His approach is fantastic, always aiming for optimum health. He is a Nurse who deserves to remain on the VA payroll. I trust Tim’s education and training, and I respect his commitment to continually updating his knowledge. Even though I have dozens of prescriptions, Tim ensures that my most pressing issues never fall through the cracks. He communicates in a way that is easy to understand, and I would grade him an A+ on the old-school grading scale. When I have misunderstood a healthcare issue, I never feel belittled; instead, Tim explains things with kindness and respect, which is important as I grow older and more sensitive to such matters.

Tim Kruth is a Godsend. Although, I initially considered choosing a woman Doctor over a male, I’m glad I didn’t stick with that preference.
