Reviews for Dr. Kraig Alan Kristof
I highly recommend Dr. Kristof. Excellent surgeon & man. His staff are all so very kind & helpful. Thank you for giving me my life back!
sciatic never work. had surgery done, to relieve pain. Dr Kristof did great work. Just follow the after surgery recommendation, everything will be good. He also has good staff working for him. Good manners, ever any question, they get back to you asap!!! I don't understand when people say their doctor did not fix their back. Give Dr Kristof a try you'll be more than happy with his results, HE"S GOOD
The best board certified fellowship trained spinal orthopedic surgeon I have ever met. Dr. Kristof is the spine whisperer you are looking for. He has integrity, heart and soul for his patients. In a nut shell he used his magic to fix my lumbar spine after over 10 years of intractable pain. It’s been three months since my surgery and I am living my life without the pain. I’ve been able to do things I never thought I would again. Imagine waking up each day knowing it’s only going to get better! My sincerest thank you, Susan Wolfe
Excellent. He performed heavy-duty back surgery on me. He thought of everything and informed me before surgery. He wanted to prescribe a strong pain medication but I took one that was less strong. I wish I had listened to him. He was right.
Dr. Kristof's manner is kind and compassionate. He explains things well and answers all questions in plain English. My fault that I didn't take his advice on what pain medication to use after my 3-level laminectomy and discectomy. When he tells you the recovery will be painful and rough, believe him. Take the pain med he suggests.

His guy is a wizard. Did surgery on me Wednesday and fixed me up so far Can't say anything but great success. Very easy going and knows his business I'd send anyone to him. Thank up Doc your amazing
He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. I had 2 fractured vertebrae and he used cement to raise them back up with the others. He did an excellent job andxI have had no pain since. Thank you Dr. Kristof
Dr. Kristof is one Great Surgeon. I'm 70 years old and I can't say enough about him.
I have struggled with back pain/problems for 20 years. I am only 37 and Two years ago a surgeon told me I HAD to have surgery. I have degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and my nerves at L5/S1 were severely pinched. My feet were numb and I felt unstable every time I walked. I wasn’t ready so I had numerous blocks, ablations, injections and nothing worked. It progressed and I had some atrophy and nerve damage from waiting. I started vetting surgeons (3 to be exact) and was scared. Once I met Dr. Kristof I was immediately at ease. He has an amazing bedside manner and finally explained what was wrong more than any Dr. I have been to. I decided to have the surgery and am so glad I did. I wish I did it two years prior. I was walking the evening of surgery and didn’t need my walker after 5 days. I no longer have any nerve pain! He has changed my life. I can now be active with my 5 year old. He is AMAZING! I highly recommend him. You won’t regret it!
Dr Kristof has performed surgery on my lumbar spine 5 years ago(2015) at Flower Hospital and a cervical spine fusion in September 2020. I am very happy with both surgeries, although I have had a longer recovery with my cervical spinal surgery as Dr. Kristof accessed the site through the front of my neck. Dr. Kristof told me what to expect and has a very kind , gentle, yet straight forward way to explain surgeries and the aftermath. Since it is has been 5 years since my lumbar surgery, I claim it as a great success. I even had to be more mobile sooner than recommended due to a family tragedy and still healed well. Dr. Kristof was very compassionate and understanding of my special needs during this difficult time. I highly recommend Dr. Kristof as very skilled surgeon who also had wonderful bedside manners.
GREAT PEOPLE
Let me start by saying Dr. Kristof and his staff are extraordinary. I was experiencing pain in both legs associated with a lower back issue. I first went to Dr. Kristof after researching other doctors and consultations. After a visit they recommended trying less evasive treatments to surgery. Unfortunately that did not work for me. Surgery was then scheduled and COVID hit. The response form his office explaining that the surgery would have to be delayed was more than I would have expected. Michelle was fabulous. I finally had surgery June 29 at St Anne’s and it went so well I was released the next day. It’s been almost three month since surgery and Im well on the way to an improved lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr Kristof.
I was referred to Dr. Kristof by my family physician back in April of this year after having terrible back pain on and off my entire life but chronic over the prior year. I was diagnosed with advanced degenitive disc disease, Spondylosis and severe canal stenosis. Dr. Kristof recommended a minimally invasive disc lamectomy and lumbar fusion. I told him he had me sold until the part where he said he would be putting screws and rods into my spine. Honestly I was in so much pain at that point I knew I had to do something so I trusted him. I am so glad that I did. It is six months later. I have been in the gym 5 days a week and am in better shape then when I was in college. I am absolutely amazed at what he has done for me. I cannot thank him enough! I was referred to Dr. Kristof by my family physician back in April of this year after having terrible back pain on and off my entire life but chronic over the prior year.

Dr. Kristof has a very engaging personality which makes me feel at ease asking questions. He explains the problem and the best way to solve it very clear. He will give you as much time as you need to feel confident about your path forward before you leave. I had back surgery in February and I have had 2 more appointments with him that went very well. I am recovering well.
Dr. Kristof made me feel relaxed right from the beginning, and answered every question I had. He did a great job and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr Kristof did spinal surgery on me in October. It was surprisingly easy and I've recovered and am back to work. Thank you Dr and staff
I recommend Dr. Kristof for Back issues to all my friends and family members. Dr. Kristof reviewed my case and scheduled my surgery quickly to repair my back problems. I was almost unable to walk upon my first visit and after surgery was able to walk without pain within 6 hours after surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Kristof for back problems.
Dr Kristof performed an excellent spinal surgery on me... He was able to diagnose my spinal issue quickly and help me heal. He is very kind and professional... I am recommending him without hesitation to anyone who is in need of treatment for their spine. He is very wise and yet he remains Humble. Thank you Dr Kristof for giving me my life back without pain in it.
Wonderful experience with him & his office, they take care of all my questions & help you through the process & with all of the years of chronic pain & over a dozen rounds of physical therapy, finally, I see a light at the end of the tunnel & excited to get my life back!! Nobody in their early 40s should feel 90 & stiff, thank you for everything!!
Today's visit was for a post op check of left SI joint. Dr Kristof recommended this surgery as an permanent alternative to help with pain from my Si joint. In past I have had my nerves burnt to stop the pain coming from this area. Unfortunately , the nerve burning was only a temporary fix. Dr Kristof's surgery has helped tremendously and I would encourage anyone with this problem to discuss this with him. Dr Kristof and his staff are kind and understanding. I couldn't recommend a better spine doctor!
Dr Kristof has been the answer to our prayers. Dr Kristof was the only Spine Surgeon to discover the cause of my wife’s back pain. She has been in pain for 4 years and we have seen multiple back surgeons. They kept referring us to therapy or pain management. That crap gets old very fast. Dr Kristof examined her this summer and she is on the road to recovery. 3 back injections and 2 minor outpatient procedures, she is walking and standing better than ever. She has a few months of healing yet, but I can see improvement everyday. I recommend Dr Kristof to anyone who is struggling with failed back surgeries or nagging back problems. He has a great demeanor with people and he actually listens to you. I will recommend him to anyone that struggles with back issues of any kind. We are thrilled to have found this awesome Doc.
Dr Kristoff and his staff are all very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone with SI joint pain that does not respond to any treatment. He preformed surgery on me and so far I am so pleased with the results! Thank you, Thank you!!
Very very very disgusted with this doctor and his staff. After going to his pre consult nurse to get approval for the MRI we had to go back to out Primary care doctor to get an approval that my husband was fit enough for surgery. We got that. Then got the MRI, then had a consult with the doctor to get the surgery date. At that time he told us he does not operate on anyone over 90 years old. REALLY???? Did no one notice his DOB on the referral, on the intake info, or anytime before we made 4 trips over 35 miles each to doctors and MRI? Not to mention it cost us $150.00 for MRI plus 2 specialist appointments at $40.00 each plus gasoline and not to mention getting our hopes up and dashing therm??? Totally incompetent staff all the way around. I complained to my PCP and the insurance company asked me to file a claim. Will do. Then doctor Kristof says we can get a second opinion. Wow, does no one care that senior citizens are on a FIXED income?

I finally am almost 100% pain free after having L5 S1 microdiscectomy surgery from Dr. Kristoff! He did a great job and i have my life back to normal.
Dr. Kristof has performed two surgeries on me Lumber and he also did my second Cervical Surgery. He is an amazing surgeon, whom I respect and strongly recommend. His work speaks for itself so pleased with both of my surgeries and had no complications. His staff is just as amazing as he is, they go over and above providing the best care anyone could ask for. My recovery had no complications. Truly Blessed to have Dr. Kristof as my Orthopedic Surgeon. Thank you Dr. Kristof and your staff for an amazing experience.
Dr. Kristof is the total package.....intelligent, personable and caring. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon or a more favorable outcome.
Dr. Kristof is the best orthopedic doctor in Toledo Clinic.
I had a lumbar fusion (L4-L5) on January 25, 2019. The relief from radiating pain and numbness in my low back, hip and foot was immediate. I spent one night in the hospital, walked the halls the night off surgery, and was off pain meds by day 5! Dr. Kristof was very thorough in explaining my injury, options, and prognosis. He was sensitive to my fear of having back surgery; and, exhausted all non-invasive treatments before we started to discuss surgery as an option. Three months out from surgery, I feel as if I never had an injury! I would recommend Dr. Kristof to anyone with back pain – I cannot thank him enough.
My first visit was a pleasant one,he listen explain my X Ray showed me were my problem, what needed to be done.
Surgery went very well. Recovery was by the book and am very pleased. However...the night immediately following surgery was extremely painful. Nurses ignored me. When reviewing the painful night with Dr, he replies that he had forewarned me of me of expected pain. I believe that there is pain control for nearly any pain with all that is avlble to the medical profession in 2019.
I had spinal fusion of L3 -L5 to relieve pain and numbness in my lower back, feet and hips. This was done in October 2018. Now 6 months later I am 99% relieved. Dr. Kristof is great at explaining the procedure, the execution of the surgery and tremendous at follow-up as well. Highly recommended!!!
I had a lumbar fusion (L4-L5) January 16th 2019. Immediately my sciatic pain was gone and my recovery was textbook. Now after 3 months I am back to regular activity including working out at the gym. The minimally invasive approach is definitely the way to go. Dr Kristof is a great guy, he will take his time and answer any and all questions. His staff is also excellent, always friendly, polite and eager to promptly answer your questions or ask the doctor.
During my first visit to Dr. Kristof's office I explained my symptoms and the discomfort I was experiencing. He said he could fix it and fix it he did! Dr. Kristof explained the procedure in detail so that I could understand. I'm three months out from my Lumbar Fusion Surgery and I'm doing really good! I've been recommending Dr. Kristof to people who are considering Lumbar Surgery and will continue to do so . He is compassionate and an excellent surgeon. Thanks so much again. Aaron S. Bivins
Dr. Kristof was very patient with Ann & I explaining the procedure and what to expect afterwards. His staff is friendly and professional. I only had to take 10 of 50 pain pills and 10 of 40 muscle relaxor pills when I came home. I am pain free. He insisted on two follow up visits six weeks apart. I did not think I needed follow up visits but he is the expert. I would reccomend him and his staff without hesitation.
Dr Kristof was very knowledable and professional. He answered all the question I had, took time to check in and follow up. Great surgeon and would highly recommend!
Dr Kristof did lumbar surgery on me 2 yrs ago and cervical surgery in February. I have had excellent care from the doctor and everyone in his office. I am thrilled with the outcome from both surgeries. Dr. Kristof has always spent whatever time I’ve needed explaining things to me and making me comfortable. Also the same thing at the hospital. He made me very aware of what would go on during and after surgery before I went into the surgical room. Dr Kristof has always been very thorugh.
Great guy, worked well with me before and after surgery. Great staff as well
Dr Kristof literally gave me my life back!...after 8 years of horrific nerve pain....he performed carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and immediately the pain is gone!....hardly any scarring and quick recovery.....I would recommend him to any and all who needs help!...great bedside manner as well!...Thank you so much Doc!
Dr. Kristof advised and performed successful back surgery for me. My back is great and no problems.
Thanks so much for stepping in and helping me with my back issues I was in trouble. I knew it was going to take time to heal I'm just worried about my job I have short and long term coverage. It's just what can I do to pay my bills. I called social security and disability offices to see if could I could go on disability. It's hard to heal when you have nothing but worries. I was thinking that I may have to contact a lawyer about what my job is doing to me. So when you see my sad face at my appointments it's not from the help or services you've done for me it's from how 33+ years of service has now turned their backs on worker. Now what do I do....Who knows Thanks so much for stepping in and helping me with my back issues I was in trouble. I knew it was going to take time to heal I'm just worried about my job I have short and long term coverage. It's just what can I do to pay my bills. I … More
Dr. Kristof is the absolute best. He has listened to all my questions and problems without hesitation. I'm now three weeks post op from minimally invasive fusion and feel better than I have in months. The only problem I have is remembering to not over do it. I also want to mention his staff. Each and every problem or question I have had they were completely on top of it and I always had an answer the same day. I feel completely blessed to have been referred to this wonderful and caring group of people. Dr. Kristof is the absolute best. He has listened to all my questions and problems without hesitation.

Dr.Kristof performed ACDF surgery for me 1/3/18. He listened to all of my concerns and thoroughly explained surgery and recovery. I was very hesitant due to a prior surgery but he's very calming and professional. My results are wonderful and I would go through it again.
Dr. Kristof:I Vicki Ketchum want to "Thank You" your partners, an staff so much for all they've done for me and my family. When all of this {my back issues} came to a head. All I knew was that I was in a bad way. The only thing I could do was to pray to God{YAHSHUA} and I did. I prayed that HE would guide you and whom ever helped through my surgery with no complications. It's going to take some time I know this. I have started walking around with a cane and short distances without. I'm Grateful.
I went to see Dr. Kristof for a second opinion. I knew he'd be my choice within the first 10 minutes. Dr. Kristof has a great bedside manor. He's very down to earth yet very through and speaks in laymen's language. His staff is very friendly and warm. Most helpful and very professional. I couldn't be happier with the out come of my surgery! I am forever grateful to you Dr. Kristof for restoring me to pain free life ... all this after just two days after my surgery! A very grateful patient!

Six months after my spine surgery, I say he can operate on me anytime. That's the highest recommendation I know to give. He has my back, and that's no joke. He's one of those rare individuals that are hard to find nowadays. I trust him.
Highly recommend kraig Kristof, I had a lumbar fusion in march of 2016, I had suffered a injury when I was 22 and had chronic pain for over 10 years. I had done physical therapy saw a chiropractor had steroid shots etc. I finally decided to see a surgeon, lucky for me I was reffered to kristof now I have had little to no pain and am back to living my life!

My husband had a staph imfection in his spinal cord that almost crippled him dr kristof was such a good dr im in his office right now with my dad who needs back surgery when you find a dr this good you always come back to the dr who treated you so good he deserves ten stars
My husband has bone cancer and went to Dr. Kristof for tumors on his spine. Dr. Kristof and his staff were great. I am one of those wives that ask a ton of questions and did so on numerous occasions, He and his staff patiently answered all of my questions and took very good care of my husbands needs. I hope we don't have to go back - but if we do- I know he will be in good hands with Dr. Kristof.

From my first encounter with Dr Kristof, I knew I was in excellent hands. He actually listens to what his patients are telling him! I had back surgery in June and could not have asked for a better outcome. I truly believe that if more Doctors were like Dr Kristof and listened to their patients, we would all be better off....thank you Dr Kristof for your superior knowledge and your "bedside manner".
Absolutely recommend Dr. Kristof,very knowledgeable and professional. I had a lumbar fusion in march of 2016 and have little to no pain! Before the surgery I had chronic pain for over 10 years. I tried therapy, pain management,chiropractor ect. Lucky for me I was refferd to Dr. Kristof and now I am back to living my life.

In to see him for degenerative disk disease and spinal Spurs I've had since a teenager. He rushed me didn't answer my questions saying I needed an MRI but the office has yet to schedule it (3weeks later!) he pushed 3 different pain meds on me even though I said I didn't want them. And said surgery would be 50/50. And sent me out the door I spoke with him for MAYBE 5 min before he left and they wanted me to come back. Rude. Short. And rushed. Don't recommend!!!
Unlike most doctors, Dr. Kristof took the time to answer all of my questions prior to the fusion surgery that was recommended. He did not make us feel rushed. Also, Peter, his P.A. was very patient and informative as well. Staff in his office is always friendly and helpful. Cannot find many medical offices like this anymore, keep up the great work.
Dr. Kristof provided excellent care and I would highly recommend him to anymore considering back surgery. He performed a laminectomy and discectomy at L4-S1 on me. He has an excellent bedside manner. He takes the time to explain what he is going to do and answer any questions. My procedure and recovery went as he described with no complications. I was fully recovered and released from his care in only 3 months. After my post-op pain went away I have minimal residual nerve pain.
