Dr. Criner is an exceptionally busy doctor, I don't feel that I have sufficient time to speak with him. [...] my visit with Criner is often rushed and I sometimes forget what I wanted to say or ask of him. [...]
Dr Criner and his staff are by far the best I have ever had as they are very professional, reliable and caring. I'm so thankful to have Dr Criner/staff as my doctor. [...]
