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.

Met with Dr. Kriska multiple times regarding sleep problems and a post-sleep study evaluation. I really like his style. He was extremely informative, used enough humor to keep me comfortable, and made sure I understood what he was saying. I would absolutely recommend him to friends or family. Like someone else mentioned on here, I'm confused by the poor reviews. Dr. Kriska has an accent, but I had no problems understanding what he was saying. He kept things very simple for me so as to not make me feel dumb (which clearly he could do if he wanted).

Great! Dr Kriska is on time, communicates well (listening AND explaining), is very knowledgeable and very considerate. I really don’t understand the negative reviews unless the individuals are biased because his accent is not Western NC. Dr Kriska’s English is perfect and he speaks very, very clearly.

Dr. Kriska has been great with my husband. My husband is a veteran and he has helped us by being a great doctor who writes his notes plainly and states the facts. He isn't a doctor that will "molly coddle" you or tell you what you WANT to hear. He tells you what you NEED to hear. The truth. Even if it hurts. He cares about his patients and wants the best. He takes plenty of time to talk with us, so if he is a little late to our appointment, we understand. Because he is taking the same time with others. I highly recommend him!

Dr Kriska was inconsiderate of my time, is always in a hurry and doesn't speak English well. Don't waste your time.

Dr. Kriska (a Doctor by title only, he is by far the most incompetent so-called "professional" I have ever encountered) has a very tenuous grasp on the English language. He is shockingly inconsiderate, shows clear malicious disdain for patients, cannot remember seemingly anything anyone tells him, and upon forgetting the info accuses patients of lying. After visiting his office multiple times and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, his behavior and unprofessional conduct only worsened with every subsequent visit. During every visit he puts off airs and talks down to patients, it is clear he wants every appt through ASAP and gives flippant, almost sarcastic responses to sincere inquiries and important questions. This "doctor" has what is called a "God-complex," in that he considers himself infallible and incapable of anything but perfection. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Look at ALL the reviews! Not an isolated incident. Please stay away, he is maleficent.

Dr. Kriska did a great job of listening to me and my concerns and helping me find a solution to my problem. He was very willing to try many different options to find what worked best for me..
