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.

Thorough and thoughtful
I feel that patients aren't often thinking of reviews to offer and where to do it, so here I'd like to thank Dr Krusch for exceptional service, great bedside manner, and for his skill in great care! My surgery was swift, and the recovery quick. The team at RGH was great.

Glad I went to see him. I was seen by another surgeon and was not happy with the process. I went to see Dr. Krusch and he was thoughtful, explain everything in a way that I could fully understand and use for decision making, and the outcome was superb

Dr. Kursch did a very poor job on my husband. Said there would be 3 incisions for his laparoscopic belly button surgery. We ended up with 7, yes 7. What a terrible job...still not healed, now we have another hernia from the incision site. Do not go to this Dr. seek other surgeons. You can do better in the local area. I am pretty savvy about procedures, he was condescending with his tone when I asked questions.

While I hate to give a bad review of Dr. Krusch, I feel other patients should be wary of his skills. History: Went to a physician who diagnosed me with an obvious hernia. His approach to surgery is traditional and I wanted options for laparoscopy. Saw Krusch. During the exam he said, I've seen thousands of hernia's and you don't have one. I could see the bulging myself! After our pressing he said he'd authorize a scan. Used first doctor to repair the obvious hernia.
