About the Provider

About Dr. Kraft
Michael Kraft, MD, is a primary care physician at Emory Decatur. He is a graduate of Ross University. Dr. Kraft took an internship and residency at Drexel University and a fellowship in Sports Medicine at Christiana Care Health System.  
Dr. Kraft is a Sports Medicine specialist. 

Letting patients talk
Dr. Kraft describes himself as “laid back” as he likes to let his patients talk. “I give patients the opportunity to tell me what’s going on in their own words, gently guiding them to get the information I need,” he says. “I want to let them explain it,” he explains, as his patients’ stories provide the essential clues he needs to treat them.

Collaborative spirit
Dr. Kraft provides all his patients with up-to-date evidenced-based medical information. In creating a treatment plan, he prefers a collaborative effort. “I believe in having a conversation and giving my patient all their options,” he says. “I want to empower patients so they will make the decisions they feel comfortable with regarding lifestyle changes or medical treatment,” says Dr. Kraft. ”Their decisions are important in a successful recovery.”

Air Force & sports experience
Patients often tell Dr. Kraft that he looks young, but he assures them of his medical accomplishments. He has served as a physician since 2009, including military experience (flight surgeon in the Air Force) since 2011 as part of the 920th combat rescue unit; he is now an Air Force Major out of Langley Air Force Base. 
In sports medicine, he has a “multitude of experiences as team physician for high school, college, national and professional level sports teams,” says Dr. Kraft. “I am well-versed non-surgical orthopedics, fitness and health, including metabolic testing for elite runners.”
Patients can trust that they are getting good care, Dr. Kraft says. “I will always listen to them and take their opinion into account in developing their medical plan.”

    Dr. Kraft is a knowledgeable doctor who shows concern for his patients. As a patient, I can say he has a comforting bedside manner. When I came in ill and felt miserable during the holiday, he listened to what my conerns were and I felt at ease. I have had many doctors. At my age (69), it is sad that I can actually count 4 doctors over the years who listens or listened. He does not start telling you how you feel before you can share your health concern. Dr. Kraft is at the top of my list who is an asset to the profession. If there were more doctors like him, I truly believe we would be healthier. No one wants to be sick or have to go to a doctor, but when you do he is the type of doctor that makes you feel seen and heard.
