Sarah Krauss

Physician named Top Doctor

Dr. Sarah Krauss, an obstetrician/gynecologist practicing in Lehigh Acres, was recently named one of America’s “Top Doctors” by Castle Connolly Medical in New York.

She is among six physicians with Physicians’ Primary Care of Southwest Florida to receive the honor.

Selections were made through a national survey of physicians and hospital administrators conducted by Castle Connolly, an independent research and information company.

Castle Connolly ensures that the physicians meet the company’s criteria, which include board certification, years of experience in their specialties and a clean disciplinary record.

Krauss sees patients at the Lehigh office at 5700 Lee Blvd.
