Dr. Kevin Kruse Named One of “America’s Leading Doctors 2025” by Newsweek
Dallas & Plano, TX – In a significant recognition of clinical excellence and patient outcomes, Dr. Kevin Kruse has been named to the prestigious Newsweek list of “America’s Leading Doctors 2025” for Shoulder Surgery.
This distinction places Dr. Kruse among an elite group of fewer than 200 orthopedic surgeons nationwide to receive this honor, solidifying his reputation as a top shoulder doctor in the Dallas and Plano communities.
A Ranking Based on Merit
Unlike many industry awards that can be influenced by subscription fees or advertising, the America’s Leading Doctors list is purely merit-based. Doctors cannot pay to be included. The selection process, conducted in partnership with global data research firm Statista, is rigorous and objective.
To be selected, Dr. Kruse was evaluated on a comprehensive set of criteria:
- Peer Recommendations: Nominations from thousands of medical experts, identifying surgeons they would recommend to their own family.
- Clinical Performance Metrics: An analysis of procedure volumes and quality of care data.
- Patient Satisfaction: High marks in patient experience and outcomes.
This data-driven approach ensures that the ranking reflects true excellence in the field of orthopedic shoulder surgery.
World-Class Shoulder Care in North Texas
Dr. Kruse’s inclusion in this ranking highlights his unique qualifications as a specialist serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. He is one of the few surgeons in the region with fellowship training in shoulder, elbow, and hand surgery, including advanced training in Lyon, France, under world-renowned shoulder surgeons.
Whether treating rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthritis, or complex fractures, Dr. Kruse combines this global expertise with a patient-centered approach. His background—including his history as a Big Ten linebacker—gives him a personal understanding of the athlete’s mindset and the importance of returning to peak physical function.
