“For 10 years I suffered from ulcerative colitis. At one point I was seeing three different specialists for not only my condition, but also the side effects from treating my condition. At the age of 29 I was in a dark place, spending most of my days sick and in pain. Dr. Kraft saved my life. He was aggressive with my treatment and let me know that he was going to do everything he could to make me well. Where others treated symptoms he went after the cause of my sickness. Through his care and guidance I went through a life altering surgery to remove my small intestine. This the choice to have this aggressive surgery saved my life. That was seven years ago and my life has changed in so many ways. I am now a father of three, I am the head men's soccer coach at West Hills College, and last year became the Director of Athletics at West Hills College. Whenever I have a doctors appointment I feel like I am going to see a friend who has my best interest in mind and cares about not only me, but also my family. I go with confidence to Sierra Pacific Orthopedics knowing that I am apart of the family not just a patient. All the best.”

“After seeking a recommendation from my OB/GYN of which general practitioner he'd recommend for my active lifestyle, he mentioned only one name. "Dr. Rod Kraft. He understands active freaks like you." I was delighted to hear that he was still caring for families and athletes throughout the valley, as I had not forgotten him (nor his name) since my high school days. I'll admit, I do qualify as an active freak/woman/mother/massage therapist. Never before have I had a doctor giggle with honesty (after seeing plantar fasciitis introducing itself to my foot) and say, "Well, I know you're going to run whether I tell you to or not. So, I'll just tell you that it will likely hurt. Have fun at Two Cities Marathon this weekend and come back next week if you need to!" Brutal honesty at it's finest. And for the record, he was right! It did hurt, but after taking his side-note (something about 'resting/going easy' for a few months) I'm back at it, pain-free! He's a father figure to people of all ages. Never before have I heard directly from a doctor after business hours reviewing normal test results. He definitely knows how to put peoples' minds at ease. The only way he could be a better doctor would be to prescribe a dose of patience to me...and that's one thing I never expect to happen.”

“We, ( my spouse and I), have been patients of Dr. Kraft for over 30 years. We never plan to leave his care. In all our 30+ years we have only received the highest professional and courteous rate of service, from diagnosis to treatment of whatever our medical issues are at the time. We would rate Dr. Kraft @ a 10 star, but on this survey a five star is the highest available.”

“Dr. Kraft has gone above and beyond to help me with my injury. Not only has he called me twice on his own time, but even went in on his day off to look at my MRI results. I am beyond impressed. As a nurse, I work with doctors ALL the time. His knowledge and understanding, which are incredible, have actually been overshadowed by his caring! I don't see that often! Thank you, Dr. Kraft.”
