Dr. Kristin spent plenty of time with me going over my MRI and x-rays. Her explanations of my issues were easily understood. She answered all my questions and concerns adequately. She gave me options to consider. She examined me well. I was very impressed with her care and concern for me as her patient.
She is wonderful!! Very caring & sweet. Very friendly & listens to you. I will definitely recommend her to others!!
