Crista is just the best! I do appreciate her and her care and concern. Thank you for doing this virtually, it is such a great convenience!!!!
Crista is the best!! I would recommend her to anyone. Score would 11 out of 10.
Crista is an excellent provider and I appreciate her professionalism and thoroughness!
Crista is amazing. I can't say enough good things about her. She has taken care of me and my family the last nine years.
Crista Saunders is the absolute BEST! I could not recommend her enough! Her personality & knowledge is exceptional - I'm so grateful to have her as my provider -
First time I had this provider and it was excellent!! My PCP was busy so I saw the NP and she was exceptional...great listener, explainer extremely professional!!!Glad I got to meet her!!
I saw Crista Saunders as a same day virtual appt. I usually see Dr.Ambroz who handles my pain mgmt but she was unavailable. Crista was able to speak with Dr.Ambroz previous to my appt and discuss how Dr.Ambroz normally handles kidney stone pain/breakthrough pain and was able to follow the same treatment plan. Her communication was key to providing me pain relief and care that I needed in a quick and timely manner
Crista has been awesome. She takes the time to listen, goes above & beyond, very smart & actually cares about her patients.
I'm always happy with the care I receive here. Blood work was done quickly also.
