Providence Patient
Dr. Cristante has always answered all of our questions. She's very polite and very concerning. I've had no problems with my stoma.

Everyone in the office is genuine, friendly, respectful! Dr Christante particularly was amazing. She was in touch with me when she was off and explained! She knew I was scared! She didn't want me to wait a week before I saw her! I knew she truly cared! When I saw her she was very straight forward, but optimistic! She answered all our questions and was not in a hurry to push us out the door! We had a plan of attack when we walked out the door! I felt more at ease and it didn't feel so big!!
