Aaron Kriegel was a doctor at Sunnydale Memorial who treated Joyce Summers's brain tumor in 2000.[1]

Biography[]

Kriegel treated Joyce while she was in the hospital because of a brain tumor. He reluctantly allowed her to briefly return to her home and gave her daughter Buffy the medication to look after her.[1] Returning to the hospital, Joyce underwent surgery to have her tumor removed; it ended successfully, making Buffy hug Kreigel so tight it hurt him after he delivered the good news.[2]

Joyce eventually died from hemorrhaging caused by a ruptured artery. Kreigel performed the autopsy and explained to Buffy that Joyce's death would not have had much pain and even if someone was present with her, there still would not have been enough time for it to be dealt with. Buffy though, seemed to doubt this.[3]
