Timothy Kruse, DPM, is a highly skilled podiatrist serving patients at Northside Foot & Ankle PC in River North, Chicago, and Evanston, Illinois. A podiatrist for over a decade, he provides a one-on-one, open, and communicative experience for every patient at his practice.
Dr. Kruse was born with clubbed feet and had to undergo numerous surgeries as a child. Because he spent so much time surrounded by healthcare providers, he had a unique window into podiatric medicine from a young age. Those experiences sparked his interest in medicine.
In 2001, Dr. Kruse earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. He then began a competitive three-year surgical residency. During his training, Dr. Kruse consulted nervous parents worried about the surgeries their children needed. Easing their fears and assuring them that their children could lead full lives after surgery for clubbed feet, like he did, was an incredible experience.
Dr. Kruse emphasizes education. He takes the time to explain the treatment process to his patients so they have the tools and knowledge to take charge of their own health moving forward.
Dr. Kruse believes in efficient appointments with no wait time. As the owner of Northside Foot & Ankle PC, he's thrilled to have complete autonomy regarding how patients are cared for.
When not in the office, Dr. Kruse frequents the theater and enjoys going to movies and seeing friends. As a part of his commitment to health, he hits the gym often and takes spin classes. Summer in Chicago is his favorite time of year; he loves art, the live music scene, and the plentiful street festivals.

Always a good dialogue with Dr. Kruse.
Prompt, thorough.
Everyone there is so simply happ. And I enjoy seeing Dr. Kruse's tiny models!
excellent service staff is very professional. Office is very professional.
Dr kruse examined my feet and gave me several helpful non invasive suggestions to manage and reduce toe and ankle pain. I appreciated his holistic approach. I will follow thru with his advice, avoiding surgery and medications, at least for now.

Efficient
Dr. Kruse was caring, knowledgeable, clear, and responsive.
Dr.Kruse is great and so is his staff. Everyone is very competent and pleasant. Dr.Kruse is very knowledgeable and solved my foot problem. He also was willing to see my Father who was visiting from out of town and having a problem with his toe. We followed his recommendations and it got better. I strongly recommend his excellent care.
Dr. Kruse knows Shoes! (And, of course, feet!), He knew just what I needed to do for my current condition and even fashioned a prototype for me. And, it does the trick! Not only that, but there’s an added artistic component to visiting his office: rooms filled with amazing Lego creations he has made!
Most welcoming and professional care!
Very friendly staff and knowledgable doctor. Easy to get appointments. Clean office. Punctual start. Highly recommend!
Great service
Dr. Kruse is very knowledgeable and friendly. He approaches his patients with empathy and compassion. I always leave his office feeling better than when I walked in. I have been going to see him for about 8 years and highly recommend him as a foot doctor.
Dr. Kruse is great. He is very good at explaining what is going on and is very caring. His assistant is wonderful as well.
The best. All around
Very knowledgeable and provided excellent solutions for treating athletes foot. My only complaint was the follow up appointment which lasted no longer than 60 seconds. I took a day off work and feel like it could have been covered via email or zoom meeting. Covering the co-pay should come with more than just a minute long visit
Dr. Timothy Kruse is very kind and knowledgeable! He answered my questions and made me feel more at ease.
Clean and decorative facility. Staff is helpful and quick to get you situated comfortably for Dr. Kruze. Dr. Kruze is careful with his instruments - to prevent pain or blood. Ingrowns are my reasons to leave the nails to a professional rather than my nail salon staff. He is efficient and the staff can get you in and out to your car within 45 min or less.
He is very good with everyone, including people who are disabled
I have been a client for years. Perfect, timely. Only problem, the Dr. should have a before and after. Ugly feet made whole. I love my Dr. and his staff.
Dr. Kruse was wonderful. He listened and provided great care.
