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. Kittleson has always our visits enjoyable. Her pleasant manner and soothing demeanor encourage both me and my wife to look forward for the next visit. Although she expresses herself in a positive and professional manner, she makes it very clear and easy for me to understand. Her attitude and ability during visits gives her office a family atmosphere and it's the same as talking to one of my family members. As your appointment comes to an end you wish that it'll continue. My wife and I always look forward to the next visit. I think that she's a great asset to her profession and to your organization.

Dr. Kittleson always takes the time to explain in plain language the situation, or lack of one. She gives recommendations for lifestyle adjustments like exercise and listens to any concerns or questions.

Dr. Kittleson is in my opinion one of if not the best cardiologist I have seen, my only regret is, I did not start seeing her much earlier, she is absolutely fantastic as well as hands on, knowledgeable, and easy to speak with as she explains everything.The main thing that separates her from other Dr's is, she is not so quick to have you tested unless needed.
