Dr. Alexander Krist listens carefully to all my concerns about treatment for my health problems, and together we find the best course for me to minimize my problems and alleviate pain and discomfort. I deeply appreciate that my concerns and suggestions are valued so that I am not coerced into a treatment plan that makes me ill. Dr. Krist is compassionate, simpatico and knowledgeable. He is a fine example of what a genuinely caring physician should be.

Been going to Dr Krist for years. One of the most pleasant and friendly bedside manners. Actually cares DEEPLY about you, listens to you. treats you like family, excellent medical skills and knowledge. Sometimes tough to get appointments with. Once again, one of the most caring doctors I've ever been to!!! His nursing assistant Patty is awesome too.

If you can get Alex Krist as your primary care physician, do so! He has one attribute that makes him shine far above most doctors. He listens! And then, based on a thorough knowledge of medicine, he'll present you with all the options and let YOU make the choice. Everything based on facts. A great personality. Get him!

Highly recommended by our former physician, who was retiring. Dr. Krist is very helpful and knowledgeable, patient and informative, talks with rather than to us. Usually able to schedule an appointment within a few weeks; for urgent matters always able to get a same-day appointment with another physician in this large group. Nurse/assistants are fine, though reception staff is brusque.
