Dr. Crain was excellant as every encounter with him is. He has a professional and warm bedside manner that every doctor should envy! He is professional and shoots from the hip when talking to me and it is wxtrem appreciated. Honesty and being upfront in a doctor patient conversation is paramount! I have always trusted him from the first encounter and would highly recommend him to anyone lookinmg for a surgeon for anything even a second opinion as he is honest and tells it like it is!!!
Always very Friendly, thorough and records all info from the visit!
He listens to you, friendly. Excellent Dr.
Everything went pretty smooth
Awesome Dr!! Very thorough!!
Always explains everything really well. Made me feel better about what I have been feeling
Very helpful in guidance and treatment offerings. Really grateful to have had that appt with Dr Crain. Provided more peace with understanding of how to best proceed forward. Very grateful for the brace provided, been a strong support for my knee.
Had a flawless total knee replacement procedure, the team, especially my post-op nurse, Sue, did a great job all the way through the process.
Nursing staff was very professional, and Dr. Crane did an excellent job
Dr. Crane is friendly and kind and most of all he doesn’t waste your time he gets to the point and gives you the answers to your questions.
