Dr Kiss is a wonderful physician. Very knowledgeable about my husbands kidney disease. He always takes his time talking with us and answering all of our questions. He really cares about his patients and it shows. Very pleasant and mannerly. So "down to earth. " We feel very comfortable with Dr Kiss and we are not afraid to discuss any of our concerns with him. His staff is always polite and professional as well. So glad we found this wonderful team of professionals.

This Dr. has it all together. Has been a Godsend for my wife, who has IGA Nephropathy. Very good bedside manner and is willing to explain or spend as much time as needed to help one understand all that is needed. Very, very good Dr.!

Dr.Kiss is one of those rare doctors that really cares.My husband was diagnosed with Hardening of the Kidney's and if it wasn't for Dr. Kiss Paul would be on dialysis or dead.When my husband had his heart attack Dr.Kiss came to the hospital to make sure he was going to be o.k. I was setting alone and scared Paul was going to die when all of a sudden there's Dr. Kiss assuring me Paul would be alright. Dr. Kiss was there until late into the night then back again the next morning. He talked to the Heart doctor and was involved in his recovery.We saw Dr. Kiss more then we saw the Heart doctor because that's how much he does care about his patients.Dr. Kiss doesn't care if you're a millionaire or a farmer you get the same treatment. If you're looking for a doctor that explains everything in terms anyonecan understand and really cares about his patients Dr. Kiss is the best there is.
