More About Dr. Krumme

Following medical school Dr. Krumme began his residency at the University of Missouri.

He noticed during residency that several patients required specialized procedures that were not offered at several hospitals during his training.

This inspired him to seek expertise in musculoskeletal oncology and complex joint reconstruction in Washington D.C. and Virginia. While in Washington and Virginia, Dr. Krumme learned and collaborated with multiple world experts in sarcoma care and musculoskeletal radiology and pathology. He now has the opportunity to provide specialized procedures at multiple hospitals in the Kansas City area.

Dr. Krumme is also dedicated to providing service to the underserved and has gone on multiple medical missions to Guatemala and India.

Dr. Krumme is also excited about continuing his medical teaching career at UMKC, where he received some of his education.
