Dr. Kreso is absolutely amazing! She explains everything in detail and taught me about everything the CT scan I had of my heart and arteries etc. using the scan itself on the computer.

Yes, my experience and my wife's experience with Dr. Kreso during the cardiac surgery consultation was far better than I could have hoped. Dr. Kreso came in with the knowledge of my case, but started by asking me to tell my story, and I felt heard. She responded accordingly to the different facets of my particular journey. and provided very clear visuals and explanations as to the course of action that she recommended and didn't leave it at that. She went on to then refer me to another colleague who might be able to provide some additional clarity, insight or next steps as to what I should do. So I was very grateful for that. She even called, Dr. Kreso called personally today just to follow up

I was very impressed by Dr. Kreso. She explained the procedure in detail, encouraged questions and was very easy to talk to. My friend who accompanied me felt the same as I did. She spent a great deal of time with me and was never rushed. I felt very comfortable with her and she allayed any fears I might have had regarding surgery. We even bonded over a mutual obsession with the British royal family! Dr. Kreso was personable and just delightful. I feel very confident about her expertise and happy that she will be my surgeon.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meeting with Dr. Kreso to discuss my diagnosis and impending surgery. She had clearly prepared for our meeting carefully. She listened to my concerns, answered my question clearly. Dr. Kreso had already lined up a cardiologist for me to see. Finally, he sent thorough and clear follow-up notes within 24 hours. Because my partner was on the road and could not attend our meeting, she emailed Dr. Kreso and received a response that day. I trust I will be an excellent hands for my thoracic graft.
