Dr. Kriet has seen me through two bouts of facial cancer reconstructions and has done a wonderful job. He has wonderful patient repore and genuine concern for his patients.

I went to see Dr. Kriet for some breathing issues, and the visit was very informative. He gave me options to try before having any nasal surgery. I also asked him about Botox he answered all my questions. I look forward to my next visit, and the staff is great! Everyone had such happy smiles. Thank you Dr. Kriet!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kriet and his staff at KU Med West. After high school (many, many years ago!), I was in a bad car wreck. I had plastic surgery on my nose and lip in St. Joseph, MO shortly after the wreck. Years later, I had sinus surgery, then many years after that, while I was still having trouble breathing, I went to see another plastic surgeon in Topeka, KS, who said he can help with the breathing. I did get relief in breathing, BUT only for a... year or two. What I really ended up with was a crocked nose and a large bump on the right side of my nose. In the last few years, the nose seemed to become even more crooked (from the deviated septum). In March, I went to a new ENT doctor in Topeka who also does plastic surgery. I told him about my difficulty of breathing through my right side of the nose. He took CT scans of my head and said that all three procedures that were previously done on my nose (including the sinus surgery) where all done very poorly. He recommended sinus surgery again as my sinuses were extremely blocked, but he first wanted to consult with Dr. Kriet at KU Med. He felt that Dr. Kriet had the experience in dealing with the nose, and may want to address this himself right away. I trusted my ENT doctor and his recommendation, but with my past experience of bad doctors, I also read everything I could online about Dr. Kriet before my visit. Dr. Kriet reviewed my case, met with me, and in April, I had surgery. Needless to say, my nose was a very difficult case, but the outcome is amazing! I can breathe through my nose, which is huge, and I also sleep better than I ever have, the bump on my nose is hardly there, and my nose is straight! That has given me greater confidence in the way I look now. If you need/want to have reconstructive/plastic surgery and want it done correctly, Dr. Kriet is the doctor for you!

Dr. Kreit and his staff are AMAZING. I fractured my nose in of July 2015 and had a previous Septorhinoplasty that needed to be redone. I had my surgery in Sept of 2015. I could not be more pleased. I can breathe so much better and my nose looks great! Highly recommend Dr. Kreit.

13 years ago I had a major infection in my sinuses that destroyed the cartilage in my nose and forced me to breathe from my mouth for 12 years. I was referred to Dr. Kriet by an ENT in Wichita, KS and went to him for a consultation. Dr. Kriet and his staff were very straightforward with me about the options for my nose, the procedure needed for each option and the effects of each option long term and short term. My family decided to have Dr. Kriet perform surgery and went in to do so in November of 2014. The surgery included removing cartilage from in between my ribs to rebuild my nasal septum. Dr. Kriet and his staff were wonderful before, during and after surgery even going so far as asking us to call him at home that first night if there were any problems. We have been through a years worth of follow-ups and him and his staff have continued to be awesome and very professional. I can finally breathe through my nose after 12 years and my nose has probably never looked better. I would and have recommended Dr. Kriet to my family and friends if they are ever in need of any reconstruction. Thank you Dr. Kriet for getting me breathing again.

Dr. Kriet is truly an expert in his field. My particular operation posed a challenge with asymmetries I was born with. I can say with complete confidence that I trusted Dr. Kriet's abilities and guidance through the entire process. Even though my specific journey required revision rhinoplasty, I am very satisfied with the final results. Dr. Kriet has an empathetic way of speaking to you and will listen with thought to your needs and concerns. His staff is always accommodating and polite. His revision polices are responsible and fair. I feel like he values the patient/ Dr. relationship we have fostered.

He was great to work with during the consultation, really listened to my concerns and explained how we could get the desired result. Was so happy after my procedure, the results were natural and a great improvement. Truly a skilled professional.

I had a major facial injury one year ago. The injured part of my face is distorted. I visited Dr. Kriet to see what else could be done. Dr. Kriet's answer was that nothing surgically could be done. When I asked again, he answered that it is not unusual for patients of my age to have a distortion in only one area of their face. (But if it is just aging, why doesn't the uninjured side of my face look similar?) Then I asked if nothing surgically can be done, what can be done that isn't surgical. This time there was no answer. I would not recommend visiting Dr. Kriet if you are over age 40, have had a facial injury, want drive to the west edge of this metro, and pay $235 unless you want to be told that the injured area of your face commonly looks this way just because of your age and NOTHING CAN BE DONE to make it look any better. For me, this doctor visit was EXTREMELY disturbing. I really hope this never happens to anyone else. At least doctor Kriet should add some basic psychological training to his surgical training so that no other patient will have thoughts of suicide added to their facial injury.

As a former athlete I sustained a long term injury that was affecting my quality of life and well being. After doing extensive research I learned of Dr. Kriet's practice and scheduled an exam. During my exam; Dr. Kriet performed a thorough analysis and we discussed solutions. Surgery was scheduled which ultimately yielded outstanding results. I would highly recommend Dr. Kriet as he is a highly skilled professional.

Dr. Kriet is an exceptional physician, understanding and personal. He will make you feel at ease and under good care by his demeanor. I truly appreciate him and his staff in understanding of my condition.

Dr. Kriet is AMAZING!!! I have been a patient for 15 years and have been nothing but completely satisfied. He has done a septorhinoplasty, botox and other cosmetic procedures for me and I have been extremely happy. I have referred several friends to Dr. Kriet and their results have been incredible! He is patient and really listens to the patient. He is extremely knowledgable and talented! I will continue to see Dr. Kriet and continue to recommend him!
