To give you some context: In my experience, I needed approval from another specialist to get a colonoscopy. This other specialist had a horrible front desk assistant who lost my approval form, claimed the doctor doesn't complete such forms (after I had just left his office, and he had agreed), and she ignored the doctor's follow-up orders and instead chatted with the nurse for 10 minutes about nothing. Then she left me in an empty office when she took off to NOT do her job. It was dark and almost 7 pm by then. Because I felt something was weird about her, I took a picture of the doctor's follow up orders and approval notes. It served me well.
Now, for Dr. Krill's staff. Yes, one of the front desk ladies is impersonal. I noticed that on my first visit.
After I finally went to the other specialist in my attempt to get an approval letter, I did run into difficulties trying to explain the events that happened with Dr. Krill's staff. His staff did hear my messages, but it was confusing. I explained the situation and it was hit or miss on whoever I managed to get on the phone or whoever tried to get back to me with a voicemail. I didn't get anywhere.
So, this is the impressive difference. During my first meeting with Dr. Krill, he gave me a method of contacting him directly if I ever needed to. How many doctors do that? It's rare. I kept the information and months went by.
Once I had the referral issue with the specialist's staff refusing to write my approved referral, after struggling for about 2 weeks, I directly contacted Dr. Krill. I'm shy and really had been hesitant but by this time desperation triumphed over timidity. I reached out to Dr. Krill. The very next day I was scheduled.
I don't know him very well, but I could tell he was special during my first visit, and he seems amazing. I haven't undergone the procedure just yet, but I'll think about providing an update.
(Note: Please don't use this story as a license to spam and message the doctor repeatedly. The man has a job to do. It is important to practice the heavenly virtue of self-restraint :)...)
I had a stomach issue for about 1 year after I had my ruptured appendix surgery. Since then, I kept having stomach pain, vomiting and dizziness. I was in and out of Emergency Rooms numerous times. They did several tests on me but other Doctors could not really pin point what was wrong with me and could not treat me completely. I was referred to Dr. Cristian Dominguez from my girlfriend, Celine, and my surgent, Dr. Wheeler. Dr. Dominguez diagnosed me with H. Pylori Infection. I took antibiotic he prescribed for 2 weeks. Did a blood work again and the bacteria was gone. Since then, I felt much healthier.
Dr. Dominguez also called me personally to check up on me. None of my Doctors have ever done that. That means a lot and very touching because he cares.
Dr. Dominguez is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.
Thank you so much Dr. Dominguez.
