A friendly and professional obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Krueger is in private practice in San Antonio, Texas. From the routine gynecologic checkups to family planning, she provides OB/GYN care such as prenatal care and deliveries, annual wellness exams, contraceptive and menopause counseling, infertility evaluations and treatment, and more.

Helping patients and their families preserve a lifetime of good health, she and her staff are health professionals working together to provide quality individualized medical services. Pleased to be involved in obstetric/gynecologic healthcare, they share common goals, including: to provide the highest quality service to patients; to continuously evaluate the results of efforts by how effectively they meet the needs of patients; to promote the involvement of all levels of faculty and staff in the identification and solution of problems; and to be enthusiastic and to think positively.

At the start of her academic career, Dr. Krueger graduated magna cum laude with her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Psychology from Southern Methodist University, and received her medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine. She then completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. 

While serving as Chief of the OB/GYN Department at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Dr. Krueger was instrumental in establishing public cord blood donations for expectant mothers.

Promoting wellness and optimal care for women, she is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG).

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders that affect women, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, and menopause. Additionally, they work with expecting mothers throughout their pregnancies, during childbirth, and into postpartum.
