Dr. Contino is the epitome of an outstanding medical professional. She is not only highly educated and intelligent, she has the rare ability to fully explain every test that she is ordering and the reasoning behind it. She asks about you in such a manner that you can tell she is truly vested in you as a person and not just your malady. I literally cannot say enough positive things about her. She is fabulous in everyway!

Dr. Contino is by far my favorite specialist. She is 100% compassionate about what she does and in caring for her patients. She's involved in my treatment plans with my other specialist as well. She's always aware of what is going on with my health in a whole, not just gastronomy. I wish all of my specialists were more like her.

Contino and her medical assistant Heather are honestly the most thoughtful humans in the medical field (with the exception of Dr Tubb at Inspira hematology).

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.

I was definitely nervous about this appointment since I am now a new patient at this facility. I was a patient at CHOP but bc of my age I had to look for another doctor.
