February 19, 2026 - "Dr. Crissman was a great listener and asked a lot of questions. [...] she took care to listen to the problems I had [...] She also drew a diagram to help me understand. I appreciated the time she took to explain things to me and to get clarity on what I wanted and did not want."
December 18, 2025 - "Dr Crissman is wonderful! I'm normally a very anxious person, she not only helps thoroughly answer all my questions so I leave feeling informed, I feel very safe and well cared for with her"
November 23, 2025 - "If the rest of my care providers were even half as compassionate and attentive as Dr. Crissman, I would be far less frustrated with the medical system. She is the absolute best and I genuinely believe she wants me to be as healthy as I can be."
October 21, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman is wonderful. She always takes the time to make sure that I'm as comfortable as possible. She explains everything well and makes sure I'm okay with things before she does anything. I can tell she genuinely cares about what she does and everyone she helps. I'm very thankful to have her as my doctor and for the positive impact she has made in my life."
September 9, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman is as compassionate and easy to talk to as possible. She explains things in a way that's easy to understand and is good at leading a conversation about what I want treatment to look like and how we can achieve it."
August 8, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman is one of the few pieces of the medical industry that gives me hope people are still going into this to care for people rather than steady careers. In our conversations about [...], I truly believed her frustration on my behalf and her promises to make sure I get what I need to be healthy. I cannot praise her highly enough."
July 22, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman was absolutely the most caring and respectful person and gyno I've met. They did their absolute best to ensure I was as comfortable as possible, especially regarding using any terminology I would prefer during the visit. They were very informed and knowledgeable about my situation and ensured that I could understand what that meant. They also weren't shy about helping aid me in informing me of [...] and in starting that process. I couldn't say anything bad about my experience with Dr, Crissman and absolutely recommend them to anyone with a uterus who needs help."
May 22, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman has always treated me with respect and care. [...] she makes it easy on me both physically and mentally, asks for consent at each step, and always reminds me I can withdraw that consent at any moment and she'll stop."
May 22, 2025 - "Dr. Crissman was absolutely amazing. After the appointment, I was in shock by how informative, affirming, and caring she was for me and my boyfriend. I seldom have experiences that are above and beyond care, especially regarding being transgender. Not only did she affirm me, but she also listened to my past experiences and moved forward with those experiences at hand. Her mindfulness in her practice made my visit so extremely comfortable and we were able to cover a wide range of topics without feeling judged. She also acknowledged that transgender patients likely do not seek medical checkups due to the exclusive environments, and she did everything in her power to make sure I didn't feel that way. I am so appreciative of her. I wish every health care provider could embody her care and knowledge. Thank you Dr. Crissman!"
April 22, 2025 - "I'd like to extend a huge thanks to Dr. Crissman and [...] who worked with me that day for going out of their way to ensure I was able to get the care I needed while keeping me safe. Your efforts made a huge difference!"
