Good Man
Friendly carring and involves you in your care
Excellent doctor very kind and caring
Respectful n professional
Dr. Provided excellent service by fixing my separated shoulder. Very efficient. Couldn’t ask for better service from any orthpedist.
Seemed hurried. Spoke using medical terms without fully explaining the medical condition found on the X-ray in lay terms. He did not seek to make sure of our understanding. It was like we didn’t deserve to know or he thought we were not capable of understanding. I was very offended by his service.
Dr. Crain is the best. Explains everything very well.
He’s the best!
Just an Incredibly accurate physician
