I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr Contino by our primary. Both procedures went very well.

Dr. Contino is the very best! I wish her practice was closer and I wish she could be my primary doctor. I really felt heard and that made the process of giving me good care more efficient and effective. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. She is committed to giving good medical care. And the support staff who assisted with the video appointment were also excellent.

Dr. Krista Contino is an outstanding and truly compassionate physician who genuinely cares about her patients. Although I had to wait four months for my appointment, it was absolutely worth it. She took the time to thoroughly explain the results of my colonoscopy, provided clear, thoughtful recommendations for managing my Crohn's disease, and arranged a follow-up MRI enterography to monitor my condition. What impressed me even more was her attention to detail — after our visit, she personally followed up with a message containing instructions on how to treat a brush burn on my colon. Her expertise, kindness, and dedication to patient care are remarkable. Without a doubt, she is one of the best physicians I've ever encountered.
