Dr. Bruce Krieger

Dr. Bruce Krieger has been serving the Jacksonville community for over 14 years.

Dr. Krieger says the most fulfilling part of medicine is seeing the change you make in a patient’s life, “Helping patients and families receive life-saving medical care with compassion is the most rewarding part of my career,” he says. 

Dr. Krieger started his journey in medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, where he attended medical school. From there, he completed his Pulmonary/Critical Care training at the University of California, San Diego.

In addition to patient care, Dr. Krieger has a huge heart for teaching. His passion for teaching has been recognized through many teaching awards including, the University of Miami Faculty Teaching Award, the AOA Faculty Award, and the George Paff Teaching Award on four occasions. Dr. Kreger calls these awards one of the highlights on his careers.

Outside of work, Dr. Krieger volunteers for the American Lung Association. He also enjoys golf, music, and spending time with his family.
