Very thankful for Dr. Crispens care. Despite not being able to get the biopsy completed, she was careful and attentive to my needs. Instead of pushing through when I was in pain, she showed concern and ended the procedure (unlike others I've had in the past). She explained options to move forward and asked for my preference. I appreciate her effort to provide the best care possible.

Marta Crispens showed professional and caring characteristics. She delivered personal patient care with a profound bedside manner, or with a consoling, understanding of patient needs and fears shown just through her mannerism. And of course, I praise her surgical knowledge and skills. I must give a hands up to everyone on her team during my surgery. I am so thankful to have been in the care of such a wonderful team. God Bless you and thank you all. Thank you, Dr. Crispens.
