Dr. Kragen delivered my twins in 1974. He was so wonderful, kind, open and considerate. I remember him to this day. My condolences.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DOCTOR. HE OPERATED ON ME WHEN I WAS 26 AND I AM NOW 75. I THOUGHT OF HIM OFTEN BUT NEVER CONTACTED HIM. I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF HIS DEATH. I AM ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF HIM. YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY.

Dr. Kragen was the best medicine I could have had during my first pregnancy. His bedside manner put me at ease. It was refreshing to have a young doctor with an engaging personality and a sense of humor! I actually enjoyed each and every appointment. After we moved away in 1955, I never forgot him. I mourn his loss. the former Mrs. Empringham

Dr. Kragen delivered our two children in the mid 1960's. He was a kind, caring and excellent ob/gyn specialist. Please accept my sympathy.
