Wonderful!
Kristin is a great doctor and surgeon. She listens well, explains everything, and answers all your questions.
Doctor and staff go out of their way to make you comfortable and are excellent with their services
Dr was very thorough liked her very much. Only issue- she was running very late. Appt was for 10:00. We were seen around11:10. Five stars for knowledge. Thoroughness, professionalism and personality!!!
She listens to her patients and is very informative. also, her bedside manner is excellent!
Could not have asked for better care!!!
Very impressed with her, her staff and the office itself. However, I did think the wait was a bit long. We waited a little over 30 minutes prior to being called for X-Rays, then another 20 minutes waiting for her in the office. Once she came in, I found her very receptive and comprehensive with her diagnosis. She is very likable and pleased to be a patient for my condition. I believe the staff should increase the time booked between patients to enable her to stay on schedule and take the appropriate time necessary with each patient.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
Thorough with explanations and punctual for appointments!
Very kind, fun to talk to during surgery.
