Dear Dr. Terry,
Thank you for being you—one of the nicest people I have ever met. Your spirit is full of generosity, kindness, thoughtfulness and love that shows, because you care for others.
Thank you for the lovely dinner and funny family stories. You make people so comfortable, like I have known you all my life… like family. Thanks also for your explanations and helping us with closure in the death of my brother. You did put a smile on our faces and made us laugh, too! You were made in the image of Christ.
In His Love,

Dear Dr. Kraus—
How can we ever thank you for your excellent treatment? Your exceptional professional skills and compassionate care were truly God-sent. We truly appreciated the thorough and comprehensive answers to our myriad of questions. The mind-body-spirit connection is both real and vital. You affirmed its importance, and for this we are deeply appreciative.
No person chooses to walk the cancer journey, but we are fortunate to have you walk it with us. You truly are representative of the best the medical arts have to offer. We shall be forever grateful to you and your outstanding staff.

Suzette and I would like to thank you for the lovely dinner and closure that we needed. Your kindness showed through in your caring explanation of what really happened to Mike. It has been one year, and after being with you, we are finally at peace.
Thank you for taking the time to make us feel like family. Hopefully, we will meet again. Until then…
God Bless.

Dr. Terry Kraus,
When I came to your office, I was all over the place. My mind and my feelings was so messed up, till I couldn’t think straight. But when I spoke to you and you talked with me and let me open up my feelings to you, I felt so much better. You didn’t make the decision for me. You let me make it for myself. You treated me as a person first and then a patient second. You have a good bedside manner. Don’t ever lose it. I pray that God forever will be with you and bless you. I was very comfortable with you.
HELEN R.
Dear Dr. Kraus,
I heard you’re retiring. I’m sending a few lines of appreciation for your kindness, patience, and works of comfort during my illness. I will always remember how upon each visit you would say, “God bless you, honey.”
Your kindness will never be forgotten. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed retirement. You are so deserving of it. Thanks again for being so kind.
From your patient,
Helen
PATRICK D.
Dear Dr. Kraus,
On behalf of my wife and her family, I want to express our sincere appreciation for the time spent and the reassuring words provided during my father-in-law’s recent stay at Tulane Medical Center. When the family was faced with major medical decisions regarding their 98-year-old father, your advice greatly eased the process. As you know well, he was stabilized at Tulane Medical and returned home, where he is resting comfortably.
The family will remain forever grateful to you for the counsel and caring manner in which it was delivered. The answers you provided my brother-in-law, allowed him to explain his father’s medical circumstances to siblings with a confidence he did not have prior to meeting with you.
It is good to know there is a physician willing to extend courtesies and provide medical assistance outside his regularly scheduled duties.
Thank you again for your kindness.
S.J. & J.C.
Dear Dr. Kraus,
Thank you for taking care of my sister. You were gentle and patient when delivering the cancer prognosis and explaining options. I believe your quick diagnosis and immediate treatment helped improve the quality of my sister’s life during treatment. Once the scans were done, there was immediate action to save her life. You were available to all of us and answered all of our questions. We know your care helped our sister and gave her daughter some precious memories to carry forward.
JOSEPH S.
Dear Dr. Kraus,
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate meeting you during my time of grief after being told that cancer had returned to my prostate. I thought my world had come to an end.
In these 75 years on this Earth and meeting several doctors for other medical problems, I must say you are the first and only person to relieve any and all fears I had. You explained the radiation process so well, that at the end of our meeting, I left believing my radiation treatment would put my cancer in remission.
As long as I live, I will tell my experience to anyone who is willing to listen.
Once again, thank you very, very much.

PAT & CYNTHIA C.
Dear Terry,
It made me sad to hear you will be leaving our community soon. That meant I wouldn’t be able to see you around here anymore. I have very strong feelings of respect and admiration for you and I have always enjoyed our time together, even in the depths of my treatments. I have always trusted you. You even called me your “1996 Miracle Survivor.” You believed that I would pull through, and thanks to you, your associates and staff, I did get better. A lot better. You saved my life, and I thank you especially for that… along with hundreds of your patients who benefited from your care, skill, patience, prayers and love.
May God be with you always.
