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.

Caratid Artery Echo and CT Scan review
Dr. Kret was an informative physician who took the time to present the results of the tests I underwent. He elucidated the distinction between the Echo results and the CT scan results. Additionally, he elucidated the reasons why the CT scan provided a more comprehensive visualization of my carotid arteries. I would highly recommend seeking his services for future vascular concerns.

Great Surgen
Dr. Kret did a great job on my surgery he was part of the surgery team that preformed L5S1 on me. He explained every detail from start to finish regarding my surgery. I recommend Dr. Kret to anyone needing surgery that he specializes in.

No concern for patient
My Dad had a stroke and is confused as to what happened to him, he is a stroke patient. He has gotten his doctors appointments mixed up. I have called multiple times and talked to multiple nurses and front receptionists and tried explaining the situation and asked if Dr Kret will have a phone conversation or zoom with him because my dad lives 4 hours away. He had an appointment he was planning on coming to talk with Dr Kret in person, a receptionist called and moved his appointment up without knowledge, or asking if he could make it. I went in to talk to her and she made it out like he mixed up times, which was not true at all. He showed up for his appointment time and was sent away. This place has zero empathy for stroke patients and I would not recommend to anyone.

Completely apathetic, both times I saw him he seemed to want to make things as short as possible and by short I mean he would have been happy if he was gone after a minute or two. He told me that I definitely did not have thoracic outlet syndrome. I asked a series of questions basically asking what my options were in terms of imaging or diagnosis if there is anything I could do at all and his response with always the same, which was that there is nothing that I could do. Obviously there is always something that can be done and this just shows how little he cared. Lo and behold, a couple of months later I decided to give it another shot with a different doctor who ordered a couple of tests to diagnose my condition because she actually cared. The CT scan just came back and confirmed that I had thoractic outlet syndrome. This issue is one of the biggest problems in my life. It affects me every day. If I had taken this doctor at his word I would have been handicapped for the rest of my life. My advice to him is if you don't care about your patients than you should not be medicine.

Horrified
While I was not treated by Dr Kret he was the on call surgeon for my hospital visit. He was rude, unprofessional and down right scary to speak to on the phone. I highly recommend avoiding his services.
