Dr Krech is very caring and helpful. She listens to my issues about eye dryness and dermatitis around the skin of my eyes. She was able to get me a new drug with costs zillions of dollars for a mere $89. She listens carefully and we discuss many different ways to help me feel more comfortable with my itchy dry eyes.

She is very attentive and thorough. For most of my life my eye doctor was always an ophthalmologist so I was a bit hesitant when I moved here and was assigned to Dr. Krech but I have discovered that the care she has provided me is far superior to any I received in the past. [...]

Good listener. Explained exam processes and significance or non-significance of observations and asked questions about any symptoms experienced. Friendly but remained focused on proceeding through the exam. I like to chat w/my providers, having spent 44 yrs before retirement working in university/medical care environments in progressively senior roles. :)
