My husband and I have been with her for well over 30years or more. We have had her listen and give good advise and treatment. Cannot thank her enough for her hard work and commitment to her patients.

Thorough, professional and caring. Make appropriate referrals. Takes the time needed when you are at your appointment. Will call with follow up late into the evening if necessary. Just what I needed as a transfer to the practice. Thank you for being a "Partner" in my care

Dr Kross is an excellent Dr. Even when I can't get an emergency walk appointment with her, and take an appointment with a physician who's available, I still never seem to be satisfied. I've been with Dr Kross for over 20 years and would't want to trade her for anything>
