I saw Dr. Megan KRUSE for a second opinion. She was not my first second opinion, but she was the first medical oncologist who allowed me to be honest with her about all the alternative things I was doing to help combat recurrence of my cancer. And she was aware of them and their clinical significance and how they might interact with my standard of care treatment, she was the first medical oncologist I have encountered that was open to hearing this information and was nonjudgmental and actually supportive of me being my own advocate on this terrible journey with cancer.

I and my husband have been recovering my care from Dr Kruse for over 7 .Years. She has always given her best advice on treatment and explained everything in terms we could understand. She has always treated like friends. She also works with the oncologist at the Parkview Bryan team where I get my treatment so we don't have to make the 3 hour (1 way ) trip to Cleveland. I always recommend Dr Kruse and the Cleveland Clinic to anyone who needs a second opinion. For me and my husband we feel fortunate to have Dr Kruse watching over my care. She is not only a caring doctor but has become a friend we trust.

I have been seeing doctor kruse for 6 years now and she is the only doctor I have ever been to that actually listened and came up with a plan to help whatever situation was happening. She has such an easy going personality that makes you feel comfortable to talk to her about very private things. I have never left her office feeling lost or frustrated. I tell her all the time I wish she was my doctor for everything.
