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. Kruse is the most amazing doctor I've ever had.

Dr. Kruse is my kind of Doctor. He's in no rush to get you out of his office. He will sit and listen to what you have to say and discuss what the issues and remedies are without acting like he's the Dr. and you are the lab rat so shut up and do this or that. I interviewed a number of Doctors before picking him as my primary care Dr. I highly recommend him to anyone.

The best doctor I've ever had the pleasure of being treated by. I have recommend Dr. Kruse to family & friends countless times and everyone loves him. He is kind, actually wants to figure out what is wrong, and makes you feel like your his only patient. I have never felt rushed or judged by Dr. Kruse and will continue going to him as long as possible.

A good listener who gives good advice and cares about his patients. Although it is not mentioned here I believe he also specializes in cardiology.

I recommend D. KRUSE to all my friends. There is no better doctor around. He cares about his patients and takes time to speak to his patients. This is a man who loves practicing medicine, come up with a perfect diagnosis and treatment plan. Not a money making machine. Go see for youself

Three of my closest friends are doctors, so I know a lot about medicine and how how widely doctors can vary in their capabilities, professionalism, competence, dedication and "bedside manner." Dr. Torsten Kruse was my primary Physician several years ago until he moved to Mission Heritage, which wasn't part of my medical plan. When I turned 65 and enrolled in Medicare, I was THRILLED to learn that Dr. Kruse was again available to me. He is the best out there!
