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 Krisiloff preformed surgery on my left kidney due to a blockage on my Urethra. I was misdiagnosed 14 years as a hypochondriac til I was referred to Dr Krisiloff in 1978. I was 28 years old then. I’m now 73 and never had any problems. I’m still very grateful that I have been pain free. I suffered for 14 years of serve pain til he found the problem. I am still forever grateful. Thank you and God Bless you for all you do for people like me. Mylena N. Reyna ????????????????

Dr. Krisiloff saved my life in Feb. of 1981 to Jan 1982. I suffered Kidney Failure at the birth of my son. Not a day goes by that I don't thank Dr. Krisiloff and he is included in my prayers on a daily basis. Not any kidney involvement whatsoever since you released me from care. I am 66 now, still do roofing, paver/ masonary work and use every day to its fullest. Thank You for giving me my life back. Love you forever, Theresa Caparco.

I was referred to Dr. Krisiloff due to a high PSA number. A biopsy revealed prostate cancer. Gleason of 7. Post surgical biopsy revealed the cancer to have been type 3N. A close call. Dr. Krisiloff performed the surgery, a radical. There were no long-term complications. Full urinary continence returned within six months. The nerves were not damaged and a return to full sexual function occurred. I was 55 years of age at the time of the surgery. That was 20 years ago. I am now 75. I have exceeded the post-surgical median average survival lifespan by a factor of 3. I cannot recommend Dr. Krisiloff too highly. He is somewhat taciturn in manner, but do not be put off by that. He is a first class urologist and surgeon. There is no one better.

This man was suppose to insert a catheter in my husband but instead sent him into a Code Blue condition , which then sent him to the ICU. The ICU is hard on a person physically and mentally during which my husband’s condition deteriorated. Now after 6 months of rehab, my husband is better but not back to his previous health before he encountered Dr. Kristoloff.

Shockingly rude and unprofessional. I made an appointment with this man for a routine prostate exam. He first tried selling me his book. . I then requested a blood test for a psa exam. He told me that he does not have an in-house lab tech. I then asked him for an ultrasound exam of the prostate. He told me the exam is "worthless". I then told him that I did not wish to continue the exam. He then unleashed a stunning, loud and rude verbal tirade? He is an angry man. Buyer beware!
