Dr. Rachel Criner Was very informative and took as much time as I Needed.

03/11/2024

If there were an outstanding that would be my answer. I have suffered with my illness for seven years, seeing a different Pulmonary group and never learned as much about my condition or felt as listened to as I did with Dr. Griner.I needed her to renew a prescription for me and was emotionally and mentally impressed that she insisted on my having a base line established by Temple before she would follow through with this need. The necessary test were done that afternoon and I received notice the prescription had been sent in the next morning.

Provider was very caring and knowledgeable. Did not feel rushed. Did not feel Doctor was in a hurry to get to next patient.

Dr. Criner reviewed various options with my wife and me. She took the time to explain upcoming tests and gave me strategies for improving my lung function.
