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.

He is as knowledgable as they come.
I have been a patient of his for 22 years and I was told by the referring surgeon that Dr. Kross was the guru on matters of the heart. I am 84 and my he keeps close watch on my irregular heartbeat He is always well prepared and asks many questions at every appointment. His knowledge on medicine generally is extraordinary.

My case was very complicated. Excellent judgment and care strategies for maximizing benefit and minimizing risk. Excellent staff. Very attentive and kind. Spends time with me and does not bury his face in a computer screen as do most doctors nowadays.
