Dr. Kraekel is a hip and knee specialist. His goal is to help patients stay mobile, active and independent. When surgery is indicated, he uses minimally invasive techniques, cutting-edge technology, multimodal pain control, and enhanced recovery protocols to help his patients recover faster. In his free time, Dr. Kraekel enjoys spending time with his family and their dog Moneypenny. When not working, he enjoys being outdoors – either running, fishing, crabbing, hiking, snorkel/scuba diving or exploring a new travel destination.
