Patient Comments
Dr. Rachel Criner was absolutely wonderful. She explained everything in detail and responded to every question I had. I felt very, very comfortable with her and was very impressed with her knowledge and compassion.
Dr. Rachel Criner is perfect in every way. She provided a detailed, easily understood plan of care and disease description. I felt so much better after leaving her office than I did before my appointment.Dr. Criner provided more information to me in two hours than my other physician did in six months. I am grateful.

All of my questions were answered with confidence and were thorough. She took time to explain everything in detail, ending the appointment fully informed. She was also very polite, caring, friendly and knowledgeable.
