Patient Comments
Again, my condition his long standing and the treatment offered has always been enough to maintain my status quo. No new treatments had been suggested. I had to ask for a referral. Dr. Criner and his treatment team welcomed me into an experimental option. You have no idea how grateful I am for the opportunity.
Everyone has always been very courteous and well informed!!
I really liked the doctor answered my question
Listening is a skill. They've mastered that art, which in turn enables them to create a better treatment plan. They keep us well informed of new practices that are relevant to patients.
Good experience
