• Dr. Strniste was great. Very professional without being stiff or overly formal. She was the thorough and efficient in asking the necessary questions to ensure she had all the relevant information; she listened carefully to my answers and had great follow-up questions. She explained her thinking in a way that was understandable to me and that showed she had an excellent understanding of my situation and needs. She also did a great job of laying out options for next steps.

• I feel very confident in the high level of care that Dr. Strniste provides. She is an excellent listener and offers helpful guidance. Additionally, she has communicated closely with other specialists on my care team in managing a recent complicated condition.

• I asked for some advice on my medication and was told to ask a pharmacist. I asked for some advice for my foot and was told to see a specialist. Things like this were a little bit disheartening because my prior two primary care physicians would always give me some input.

• My experience with Kristen Rita Strniste was quite excellent. She very carefully evaluated my condition and took a number of tests. She advised me on how to handle my badly re-infected toe and other symptoms such as fever and congestion that may or may not have been related. I am exceedingly grateful for her advice on how to handle what had become a rather perplexing medical situation and her efforts to trouble shoot any complications. I am very impressed with her clarity and careful guidance.

• Dr. [redacted] had been my PCP for 15-20 years and over that time I had developed the sense of trust that would suggest. While I was nervous at first, Dr. Strniste did a great job of putting me at ease and helping make the transition a much easier experience than I expected it would be.

She prepared for our visit by reviewing my medical records, and the questions I had planned to ask were answered by her as she reviewed her medical plan for me.

• 1st visit with this provider and was very pleased with overall experience and timely letter regarding blood work and next steps. The nurse practioner I saw up until 2023, always did a manual breast exam and digital rectal exam in addition to my pap smear. Is this no longer part of the female annual physical?

• This was the first time that I met Dr. Strniste [redacted]. She was very thorough and she had read my records very carefully and I would recommend her highly to a friend or family member. She did a very nice job. We had never met and she made me very comfortable, particularly because she had read my file before I got there. So that is, I feel quite strongly she was very good. Thank you.

• Pleased with my first interaction with new Primary Care physician. She listened to me.

  2025-12-31

• I found her to be very thorough, very caring. I just think she's great. I hope she hangs around. There's been so much change for primary care physicians at MGH through no fault of anyone. I understand that. But I knew to walk into the last year and a half, I guess, because Women's Health Clinic is no longer with you guys. Well, it didn't make it, I guess, but nevertheless, I found her to be great, and I hope that she's a happy, healthy career there, because I really don't want a new provider. Thank you.
