  • As an MA at Bronson South Haven Family Medicine, Kris always has a positive attitude, just happy go lucky. You can count on him to help, even if it’s not a patient that he’s working with. He is knowledgeable and knows the processes of what needs to be done. When we let the medical assistants know a patient is ready, Kris is one of the first to jump in and help the patient. He is compassionate and kind to patients and goes above and beyond to make the patients feel comfortable and at ease. He treats everyone with dignity and respect. When you ask him to do a task, you  always know that it will be taken care of and followed through on. He’s an exceptional medical assistant. Kris is the epitome of what Bronson stands for.
  • Kris is so great on so many levels. He is ALWAYS willing to help anyone who needs it. While his “home” is internal medicine, he often helps out in the peds office. His patients love him, and the peds families do too! He is great at training new staff, and when we have students, everyone always seems to be looking for him (for help, or for a laugh, or whatever). He is always in a great mood – always smiling (you can tell under his mask!) and singing.
  • Kris is a go to person. He has a great attitude. He is rarely ever without a smile. Kris often goes above and beyond for patients and his fellow co-workers. He helps out without hesitation, even when it is not his patient or provider that is asking for help. Kris boosts everyone’s moods in the office. He will make the corniest jokes that can turn around even the toughest of shifts.
  • Kris is always going above and beyond to help assist his coworkers. Kris will assist in helping patients understand their healthcare needs when patients call or come into the office. Kris will help when there is a difficult patient. Kris has a positive attitude and caring personality. Kris never turns down a patient when they come in with questions about their medications or appointments.
  • Kris always is willing to help anyone. It does not matter if it is his provider’s patient or not. He always has a smile on his face and will lend an ear to vent too. If you ask him a question, he will find the answer. If you have a problem, he will help solve it. Kris is a great person to have represent Bronson!
  • I appreciate all of Kris' hard work and dedication. He is always willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. No matter what’s asked of him, Kris is always right there helping out. To Kris - keep helping, treating, healing, aiding, and caring for those that need and rely on you. Kris is so very much appreciated.
  • Kris has too many great qualities to list! He is a ray of sunshine, always making people laugh and smile. He is more than willing to go the extra mile. He grabs the majority of our nurse visits with a smile on his face. He will deal with any pharmacy issue at any time. He will explain any question a patient has in depth so they understand fully. Kris is an amazing co-worker and an even better friend! He is there when you need to vent, a shoulder to cry on and a great listener. He gives the best advice and will always cheer me up! He is an absolute joy!
  • Kris is a pleasure to work with. He is happy all the time. He goes above and beyond to help with a smile on his face. He does an excellent job. I enjoy working with him and couldn’t ask for a better MA. Keep rocking nurse visits, Kris! The patients love him!
