Unfortunately, my best doctor left and moved on from his practice, and when asked for his recommendation, he recommended others, but would not recommend doctor Colleen Kriss even though she was a DO. Unfortunately, we did not take warning not to see Kriss. I stayed with her for about 4 years until I found out that she was not open to new ideas or even old ideas. Kriss just wanted to treat my symptoms, and not find the cause. I have never had a doctor quit on me before as doctor Colleen Kriss. If you want a doctor who dictates her way only, then you may get along with doctor Kriss. If you are the type of person who seeks the root of your problem instead of just taking another prescription to fix the problem, then DO NOT see Kriss. This doctor just will not listen what I wanted to do, after all, it’s my body, doctors are here to help guide me down a healthy path, not dictate to me.

Love this doctor. She is caring and thorough and knows her stuff. I trust her, and rarely do I say that about doctors. Her front office staff are total harpies. They call and leave nasty messages over their own mistakes and are rude in general. Her P.A. is a nasty piece of work. Calling after hours is not worth it. I put up with all of this because she is a great doctor! The lady who does vitals is super sweet, too. Once I get past the front office hags everything is great.

Great doctor, and the nurse that does vitals and everything is great as well. The front office gals are snotty and unpleasant. I got a call because THEY messed up on the appointment and was threatened with no longer being a patient after two more offenses. She's such a great doc that I'll put up with it.

Excellent care, professional, empathetic, listens, and actually cares about your health and not just your money.

She truly listens to her patients instead of rushing you out and pushing treatment you don't want onto you.
