Jimmr R. Noonan, MD, FACP, Medical Director and Physician Advisor/ Quality and Utilization |
“At our hospital I have always had an intimate relationship with the emergency department and the emergency physicians. Over a period of 41 years I have worked with many, many ED docs and have observed all types, good, bad, and otherwise. It has been my pleasure to work with Dr.Criner during the past 2+ years. Without hesitation I am happy to declare loudly that, since 1968, there has never been an emergency department physician team at our hospital as efficient as the one recruited by, organized by, trained by, and directed by Dr. Criner. I came to respect greatly his knowledge, judgment, and leadership abilities. He tries to do the right thing for both the patient and the hospital...."
