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 Crisco has been great. The staff there, not so much. They will not answer the phones nor will they call you back after leaving many messages. My mother had a medical emergenncy on Friday. We called and two different pharmacies called, we all left messages. NO RETURN CALL!!!. I left a voice mail on the Manager's phone. NO RETURN CALL. This is not acceptable. Like I stated Dr Crisco has been great. He really needs to hire a staff that actually cares about HIS patients. New management would also be helpful.

Doctor Crisco is and has been my mothers Doctor. He has saved her life several times. He is kind and caring and works very hard to improve her quality of life. My whole family thinks he is awesome and we recommend him to people we know all the time. He has been known to call her the energizer bunny because she just keeps going and going

One of the Best
My First Encounter with Dr. Crisco was not the best-I was immediately "sent " to see him by another First Coast H & V Dr. after a routine test. he did not want to see me and I did not want to see him - He was Blunt, and I thought kind of rude. However - I have come to know and respect him as a tremendous caring intelligent physician- we get along great now - Yeah he is still blunt but what he says he means - One of the best

CSM
He doesn't listen; talked down to me, was very rude and seems to have an issue with "people of my size"! Assumes I am overweight because I want to be; at least that is the way he talks and treats me. I have been through five different medications for my blood pressure but none have worked and he responded at my last appointment as if that is my fault. I do not have faith in this doctor, feel comfortable with him, or trust him.

Better or the BEST?
For over 20 years we were satisfied with a couple of local cardiologists but then Dr. Crisco was called-in to save my husband’s leg when the attending surgeon couldn’t. After my husband recovered we switched to Dr. Crisco and have realized how inadequate my husband’s treatment has been for the past 20 years! Dr. Crisco has the knowledge, the bedside manner and determination to achieve the best health possible for my husband. He’s the BEST! Definitely 100%!

Poor attitude
Doesn’t listen, doesn’t answer questions and has a blatant uncaring attitude. I would recommend retirement or an attitude adjustment.

Dr. Crisco has performed 3 heart caths on me and always listened to me when I have a problem. If there is a solution, he will work hard to see if it is right for you. If you call and he is booked, he has trusted associates that will get with him on your behalf.

Dr Crisco performed a Heart Cath at Flagler Hospital through my radial artery. Not only was he gentle but I have very little bruising. Previously, another Dr could not go through my wrist. That Doctor turned my entire arm black and blue and went through my groin instead. I am extremely grateful that I am now a patient at First Coast with a group of professional and knowledgable doctors. The staff is kind and professional as well. Thank you to all of you for assisting me with my health and wellness. Renee’
