only good, great
I always have a very nice visit
This was my first visit to Temple Lung Center at Oaks. i was extremely pleased and will continue to see Dr Criner. Initially, I came in for a second opinion. i was so pleased with the service, that I intend to have the tests done thats Dr. Criner requested and I will be following up with him in early June 2019.
Dr. Gerard Criner knows what he is doing . [...] his nurse Practitioner is very cooperative. We are very impressed by their behavior and diagnosis . Very helpful !
[...] Dr Criner's professionalism and expertise are outstanding.
Well satisfied with Dr. Criner his staff & nurses definitely recommend him & Temple.
Very good experience with Dr. Criner. He and his staff are very thorough and know your case. They speak together and it's great to know they are providing a multi-disciplinary approach to my ongoing care. Can't say enough good things about the Temple Lung Center and both Dr. Criner and his medical staff. The front desk staff are always willing and able to help me with appointments etc. Very good department.

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.
