very fortunate to have Dr. Criner and staff reviewing my progress and/or problems involving my lung transplant. [...]
good experiece
very professional throughout ,my many test for the valve procedure
Dr. Criner and his entire team were exceptional in every way. There was not any area that even had room for improvement. I wish I had seen them years ago. I have never had such attentive and supportive professionals ever engage with me like Dr Criner and every member of his team. Exceptional! You are very fortunate to have them on your staff!!!
I always get good care & respect from dr. & the staff.
One of the best visits I have had.
ALL GOOD !!
i have faith in criners abilities
Great doctor!
Dr. Criner, his staff, and department support are superior. I have no other physician more professional than the Dr.'s & personnel at Temple Lung Center.
Dr. Criner truly deserves his rating as one of the best COPD Pulmonologists in the country.
Dr. Criner is an amazing doctor! I always felt that he really cared! I love him!
Excellent doctor.
Care provider direct and to the point. Very caring manor.
I am happy with my dr.
Dr Criner is outstanding; my husband & I both had him for our lung problems. Unfortunately, my husband passed away, but Dr Criner was with him up to the last minute with such compassion.
Dr. Criner asked pointed questions and displayed an aura of self confidence which is reassuring
I think my doctor would be better for seriously ill patients.
"Great people"; even the guard at front door very helpful.
