Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr kriwinsky will go above and beyond for his patients

Wonderful
Dr. K loves his patients and will do everything he can to help them. We travel 4 hours for him to see our PANS kiddo. He doesnt sugar coat anything, and is very knowledgeable. He does it all! Jena and Brenda are wonderful as well, so sweet and helpful.

Would never recommend Dr. Kriwinsky - EVER
Jan was our Pediatrician for years. Condescending, would never listen to parents. We moved away and had to pay him close to $1,000 for our kid's medical records. That speaks volumes as to the "professional" that he is. That was during the 2008 market crash and we had lost everything (house, jobs, etc) and had to move out of state for new jobs. He did not care. Mind you, we were with him for 10+ years... that did not matter. You've been warned!

Horrible human being – May 19, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kriwinsky?
Been coming for years, but sad it has to end like
My children had been coming to this facility for years and in fact this dr. Actually found something that was life threatening for my 4 day old child. Thank goodness for that and to this day I’m grateful for it, however they are terrible at running this business. Rudest staff I have ver come across in the medical field. What’s worse is the Dr. Is extremely arrogant, talks about politics with me even when I ask not to, and had even told me in one of the last vista that I could go else where when I asked him if he thought his time was more valuable than mine. Mind you this was after 12 years of this doctor ALWAYS being late to the appointments I had set by at least 20 minutes every single time. I stayed with home since I did trust his medical expertise but now after the way I had been treated and my kids the last year, I’m done and it’s very sad.

Dr K treats our children as if they were his own Family. I have a 34 year old, 12 year old and an eleven year old. We have been in this practice since my eldest was 7 years old. Patients dont know Dr K has a heart of gold. When Marilyn his nurse was going threw chemo she shared with me Dr K met her in the mornings to start her IVs. Our Family is always grateful to him and his lovely staff

Forever grateful in OH – Jul 30, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kriwinsky?
Dr. Kriwinsky listened to us when no other dr would. He has the passion and patience to deal with hard to find illnesses in kids. We travel across the state to see him, our only complaint is we wished we lived closer. He is straight forward and honest and truly the best dr we have seen. He returns calls himself, often after hours. He is truly amazing. He makes us feel like we are his only patient and schedules plenty of time to see us. We never feel rushed, wait more than a few mins for our appt

Happy mom in Ohio – Jan 20, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kriwinsky?
Dr. Kriwinsky has been treating my children since 2004. Both since the day they were born. While on occasion his personality wavers on being slightly unpleasant, he is an excellent physician and that is what matters to me. His office staff has always been friendly. I'd recommend him to anyone that needs a pediatrician. Same day sick appointments are fantastic.
