Had great experience with Dr. Krill and staff. They took time to explain and help me understand what the procedure was going to be. Had to say this was one of the best service and treatment I’ve had that’s been done correctly.
I recently had my first colonoscopy with Dr. Krill, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr. Krill is a very kind and compassionate doctor who made me feel completely at ease. His team was equally amazing—professional, attentive, and efficient. Everything went smoothly, and I felt well cared for throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Krill and his team.
Very friendly and efficient. He knows what he is doing and very comfortable with him handling patients.
Just adding to the five star reviews.
Extremely friendly staff and Doctor (Krill).
He did not keep me waiting at our initial consult, took his time to explain everything, and answered my questions without judgement.

Dr. Krill was so helpful and caring.
First time having a colonoscopy, so I was pretty reluctant to go through with it. But the experience was easy and without discomfort. I’m now telling all my friends my age not to put this off, and use my doctor. Only complaint is that the office took over a month to schedule the procedure, and I was about to give up and seek out a different doctor. But I’m really glad they eventually contacted me, because I now have no complaints. I would definitely use Dr. Krill again.
Very caring and wonderful medical staff.
