Very nice Very patient Very knowledgeable
Just had my one year check up on my total knee replacement and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dr. Crain for a second chance at life.
He truly listens to his patients. He is interested in you as a person and not just as a patient.
He's the best
Very professional and excellent bedside manner, and he takes his time and explains what’s good for me and what steps should be taken. I was very pleased with my first visit, I will be following up
Dr. Crain was a pleasure to deal with! He is up front, honest and unlike most doctors these days he listens and go over the entire situation completely including feedback to the Dr. that sent me to him for consultation. I would trust Dr. Crain completely, he does GREAT work!!!
The ex best ! Dr Crain always runs his office hours really well. A great surgeon I’ll always recommend!

Dr. Crain is an excellent doctor. He explains everything so that you can understand. I’m happy that he’s my doctor!!
