[...] This doctor, and her staff, are always very responsive, whether in person, by phone, or communicating via the MyChart application. When Dr. Kringstein notices an issue that needs to be addressed she, herself, does not hestiate to call us by phone. My Dad's health is being monitored constantly, daily or almost daily vitals are recorded and transmitted, she will consult with any other care giver responsible for some other issue of his health care when she deems it necessary, taking special care to inform us, his family/care givers. This physician could or should be a case study in good-great medical care.

We then called Dr Kringstein's office, informing them of the emergency care visits and asked if her office could assist us in obtaining an earlier appointment. Dr Kringstein called me and made an appointment to see Dad to be tacked on the end of her previously scheduled appointment with my Mom, and after having reviewed the notes and x-rays prescribed a medicine to aid in Dad's treatment. She continues to be very involved in the health concerns of my parents. She does her best to insure that we (my family) understands the conditions and treatments. This is very important.
