Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kress performed my husband's mitral valve repair and aortic valve replacement. He used a valve for the replacement meant to be used on a younger patient...it shifted and leaked resulting in another open heart surgery by a different surgeon and 8 horrible weeks until my husband's demise. St Luke's is supposed to be the "heart hospital", but their level of care was substandard at best. They never even asked him what his final wishes would be. Go somewhere else and do your research before choosing a surgeon.

Awesome, I will continue with Dr. Kress if needed. He was thorough in first consultation . Explained things very well and left you with a feeling of total confidence in taking care of the procedure. He speaks so calmly and you cant help but feel the same. When left office that day I was certain I had the right Dr. I would and will recommend him to anyone. His support team also is very. Friendly and knowledgeable . Thanks to Dr. Kress and his team!
