Patient Comments
My husband and I are both doing this survery bc 'two heads are better than one.' We are in total agreement. Temple Lung has deservedly earned an OUTSTANDING RATING from us. I got back in the car on the way home and said to my hubby. "I'm so glad we just saw a Real Doctor." (I can't breathe.)
My care provider was concerned about my problem and was helping getting it fixed as soon as possible so I could be listed for Lung Transplant.
Very attentive, responsive to questions.
I liked Dr. Criner very much, listened, knowledgeable, caring. Professional.
I haven't any complaints!
