Dr. Chris has been my husbands and my (as well as my mom many moons ago) Dr. he is one of most caring people in the profession. His time with you is to understand how you are doing and fix what's ailing you. My husband credits him with saving his life by hearing something off! I can not say enough about this man.

One person said they would travel a great distance to keep Dr. C. as their doctor. In fact, I do travel from the Cape to Arlington to continue being seen by him. He's been my doctor for over 30 years. He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and attentive. He listens and acts upon what he is told. There could not be a better doctor all around.

I have been a pt. of Dr. C for many years and find him very caring, professional and knowledgeable. It's unfortunate it takes quite a long time to get an appointment with him. I am also always amazed how many patients dr.'s try to fit in in their day. They seem to have pt's every 15 mins all day long. I'm thankful I didn't go into medicine like my mother wanted me to!

Dr.Criscitiello has been my doctor for many years, I have nothing but the highest regard and respect for him and his staff. He treats me and my family and friends and we all agree that we have the very best care. He takes his time and is interested in every step of my care. I read the negative comments above and don't believe for a second that these people are speaking of the right doctor. It's a shame to see negative remarks about a doctor that I know would never give less than 100% everytime. I am happy he is my doctor.

Dr. Criscitiello is an excellent primary care physician. He has cared for my family for 22 years. He's a great listener and he comes up with the most accurate treatments every time. He's quick to respond to your calls, and pays attention to details. He's one of the best doctors that I know and I would travel a great distance to keep him as my doctor.
