Patient Comments
I had a 6 minute walk test at 4pm and an appointment with Dr. Gerard Criner at 5:40pm. I finished my walk test around 4:20 and was immediately taken back to see Dr. Criner. I was very pleased that I did not have to wait an extra 1 hour and 20 minutes in the waiting room.
Very pleased with the appointment and the care I received from Doctor Criner and his staff. All my questions were answered and help given. Never felt rushed. Explanations were clear and easy to understand.
