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. Krims is very kind, thorough and attentive to my needs. I would highly recommend him.

My visit today was exceptional. The staff is so friendly and organized. The entire process put me at ease. The doctor followed up with my results and is extremely professional. I will certainly recommend Middlesex Endoscopy and Doctor Krims to my family and friends.

I’ve had 3 procedures with Dr. Krims. They were all painless and comfortable. His nurses are very attentive and the anesthesiologist was personable and trustworthy. Dr. Krims explains what he found after the procedures in a private room. He’s obviously experienced and skilled. The practice is very busy but he spends as much time as you need for questions. The nursing staff calls the next day to see how you’re feeling.

Dr Krims may have 40 years of experience but if he had 40 seconds of bedside manner he would be more successful than he is. He and his staff are condescending and unprofessional and discuss patient concerns out in the open in a dramatic way. After not getting instructions for a procedure I was treated as a liar. There was never a humble moment when they realized their staff may have accidentally forgotten to give the patient instructions but instead took a defensive tone

Dr. Krims was caring, professional, and knowledgeable about a procedure I had in his office today. He made a very uncomfortable situation very comfortable, not an easy task. I highly recommend him! Female/age 59
