Patient Comments
The doctor and NP covered results and treatments very well
Dr. Criner reviewed all the information available to him. He scheduled me for more tests so he could recommend a course of treatment that would benefit me.
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.
