Patient Comments
Before Dr Criner there were many hispital stays. Over night sleeping was painfully horrendous. Now I breath well list 30 or 40 pounds and can run again.
The doctor was very straightforward and I really like that
All good!
Have already described to one person who is now a patient and on the list.
Great visitVery productive and solutions discussed for management of my pulmonary issues
