Great doctor. Excellent rapport with patients.
Very kind and caring doctor. He explained everything in detail to me. I left very confident that I knew how to take care of my arm while it was healing. Thank you Dr. Crain!
The staff is fabulous. Dr. Crain clearly explained my situation and a plan to move forward.
Nothing but the finest praise for the treatment and results, the knee never better now i need to build up muscle around the joint to anticipate a knee replacement in the future due to arthritis and bone on bone for now i’m in remission thanks to first states caring staff and Doctors.
Very knowledgeable, professional and personable.
Great service 👏
Dr. Crain is a terrific doctor. He's very thorough and you don't feel rushed. He has an incredible reputation.
Always provides full information on any injury I have had. Enjoyable to work with. Good results.
It was Excellent
My second upper extremity surgery with this doctor and he is truly one of the best doctors in Delaware. Maybe I'm unusual, but I had a surgery on my shoulder when I was 56 and hand surgery at 63 , and both surgerical recoveries were far better than expected and fast recoveries. Now maybe that's just how my body heals but I don't think so. I think it is testament to the abilities of Dr Crain. I couldn't be more delighted with both surgical procedures long-term outcome, and am equally delighted to highly recommend him.
