A portrait of Kristina Voss standing outside in a white coat.

Dr. Voss is an ophthalmologist with Keck Medicine of USC. 

Here’s what you won’t find on her resume. 

She’s focused on family time outside of work. 

“When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with my family, playing with my golden retriever, hitting the gym or catching up on some much-needed rest.”

Ask her about her floor exercise routine.  

“People may be surprised to learn that I was a highly competitive gymnast in my youth. I was an Elite Qualifier, Junior Olympic National champion on the floor exercise and Junior Olympic National team member. I earned an athletic scholarship to Auburn University, a Division I NCAA team. I became an Academic All-American and was named as the Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year.”

She looks up to her parents. 

“My parents have always been my biggest role models. They are charming, charismatic, hardworking, loving and intelligent.” 

The mantra she lives by: 

“The best advice I’ve ever received can be summed up by the saying, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’ With enough passion and hard work, there’s a solution to most any challenge.” 

Science class inspired her medical career. 

“I have always loved science. I realized that one of the best ways to use this passion to benefit humanity is through patient care, which led me to pursue a career in medicine.” 

Helping patients regain vision is deeply satisfying.

“Performing cataract surgery is the most rewarding part of my job. It allows us to permanently restore vision with excellent outcomes and safety standards. I love seeing the joy on my patients’ faces when they realize how well they can see.”

Her patients inspire her daily. 

“Being the best physician I can be every day is nonnegotiable. I am ethically and morally committed to providing the highest level of care to my patients each and every day.” 

She’s all about honest communication with a dash of humor. 

“I do my best to create a warm and welcoming environment where patients feel at ease. I try to lighten the mood with a touch of fun and humor to make the experience more enjoyable. When it comes to serious conversations, I am as direct, honest and caring as possible to ensure patients fully understand their health and treatment options.” 

Teaching is one of her passions. 

“I chose to practice at an academic medical center because I find it incredibly rewarding to help train the next generation of doctors.” 

What sets Keck Medicine apart?

“I appreciate that I can deliver the highest level of care possible here at Keck Medicine. I have access to all the resources I need to provide quality care, both within our ophthalmology department and throughout the entire health care organization.”
