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.

VERY UPSET!! I called to reschedule my appointment and there was a message that said his office was PERMANENTLY closed!! Not seeing office patients anymore, only those in the hospital!! I never received a phone call or letter in the mail letting me know. Now I am trying to get my medical records from him so that I can see another ID Dr. because I need medicine refills! He has helped me a lot and hate that this happened but very unprofessional to leave us hanging like this!!

Thanks to Dr. Kussman and his awesome staff, I am healthy and alive today to write this review. From the first visit in the hospital, Dr. Kussman was compassionate, and genuinely cared for my well being. Always explaining what was happening and what I could expect. His office staff were simply exceptional. Friendly, caring, patient and always made my wife and I feel confident, comfortable and welcome. If I could give 10 stars I would give 15. Simply the VERY BEST!

When I made the appointment they couldn't tell me how much it was going to cost . Then he was an hour and a half late and spent only 10 minutes with me . Went to check out she said it was going to be $175 . I paid the $175 and then they turned around and charge my insurance company 300.00 dollars.

Dr. Kiss man saw my husband in The Hear Hospital Baylor - Plano following his admission after developing cellulitis in the leg where the surgeon got his vein for heart bypass surgery. He was attentive, patient, thorough and compassionate. He accurately diagnosed the problem and managed my husband's wound care after the surgeon took my husband back to surgery to debride the wound to promote healing. We were very pleased with Dr. Kussman's care.
