"Dr. Kroshus did a fabulous job. All follow-up tests look good, although I did develop an atrial flutter one week after the surgery, which is a common occurrence. My incision is small even though it was a sternotomy and it looks pretty good. I would highly recommend Dr. Kroshus to anyone. He is a very compassionate surgeon/man."

"They day a cardiologist told me he thought I needed an aortic valve replacement, a handball friend asked me how I was. I told him about my heart; he strongly recommended Dr. Kroshus who repaired his wife's damaged mitral valve. I drove to his hospital, asked his nurse about him, just who Dr. K came up! He suggested I bring him my heart films; he said - don't wait on the aortic aneurism I also had. I didn't - the surgery went very well. Dr. Kroshus was very communicative, approachable, great bedside manner; great staff at Regions Hospital."

"This surgeon and the hospital (Regions) were wonderful. Surgery on Monday, home on Friday. No complications. Recovery went as expected. Returned to work at six weeks post-surgery. I am very pleased with the result."

"The combination of the surgeon, Dr. Kroshus, and my cardiologist, Dr. William Hession, was a wonderful pairing. The hospital, Abbott Northwestern, was top notch. I was very appreciative to Dr Tim Kroshus who has wonderful bedside manners and excellent staff members."
