This woman is absolutely terrible. She was disrespectful, condescending, and has horrible bed side manner. During an exam I asked her to briefly stop because I was hyperventilating and she refused. I would not recommend her to even my worst enemy.

Terrible appointment with this Gynecologist. If you need just the basic annual check up, can't find anyone else, or don't have a doctor, this may work for you. However if you have questions and or concerns, I would recommend to steer clear of this woman. She was over 30 minutes late for the appointment, didn't apologize or acknowledged the time difference, and didn't hesitate to rush the time left that was remaining. She doesn't listen whatsoever and treated the time I had as a number, not a patient with concerns, questions and potential health issues. I will not be going back to this doctor and suggest seeking out someone who has excellent bed side manners with compassion and is eager to treat the patient as such, not just another appointment time to mark off the books. I'm shocked she is continuing to practice medicine as many things she stated seemed outdated and inappropriate.

Agree with other posters that she lectures and does not have listening skills. All concerns addressed were not answered and unless you go strictly for your annual checkup with no other side issues/concerns, find someone who will help you achieve your best possible health. I found this Gynecologist lacking with bedside manner, compassion and overall qualities you seek; more specifically when searching for a specialty practice. People are not just numbers and want to be heard. She was over 30 + minutes late, no apologies or acknowledgement, and hurried the appointment along. I find this inexcusable given I booked well in advance and would have waited for a doctor that actually takes time with patients and wants to listen. Huge disappointment is an understatement. This was from an appointment a while ago.

If you need a quick year check up and that's it, Crim may be suitable. However anything beyond is not worth it. I'm reviewing from a while ago and want to suggest to anyone that may have concerns, this Gynecologist isn't the best at listening or even attempting to work with the patient. She was quite tardy for the appointment, didn't apologize or acknowledge the 30+ time difference, then proceeded to explain that there was little time to discuss matters that were brought up on my behalf, essentially felt as though I was just being put through the conveyer belt, a number if you will. Not a patient or person who is looking for information and answers. I didn't think she was rude as much as she was lacking in a personable manner given her job, showed no compassion or warmth. The appointment was rushed and off I went. Nothing that was of concern was answered and it's apparent Crim has been doing this for a while; either just going through the motions, or truly has lost interest for the specialty. I won't be returning to this particular gynecologist again.

This lady is rude and spends her entire time lecturing you. Do not go to her. She also did not listen to my concern. She treats you like an idiot and makes you not want to answer questions. DO NOT GO TO HER!

Do not go to this doctor if you are over weight. Every problem will be because you are fat. You are not trying, or being realistic with yourself. You need to exercise and eat right. She spent the entire time lecturing, and not listening to my questions and concerns. I asked for her help, and got a lecture. It was a horrible appointment. Her nurse was great, really sweet.
