Patient Comments
Overall very compassionate and knowledgeable
I was seen by Dr. Criner and several of his team. All are always kind, professional, knowledgeable and caring. They take time to answer any questions I may have and do their best to make things easier on me. I highly respect and love them all. I feel very blessed to have them directing my transplant journey.
The PA did a great job. He too knew my history and we reviewed all concerns
Spoke with me as a person and didn't talk down to me
Very professional and respectful making sure I understood my condition.
