Dr. Crutcher was very professional, knowledgable, and helpful regarding my knee evaluation. Office staff was exceptionally pleasant and made one feel at ease.

Dr. Crutcher is a great caring doctor. Highly recommend him for hip replacement.
Dr Crutcher and his staff are fantastic! Best experience ever. And I’m thankful I can do my outdoor activities with two new hips
I felt comfortable there, and well taken care of. The Dr. was very nice. The O. Center was very clean and I was impressed with the techs' that did the x-rays of my knee. The Dr. explained the procedure and told me they would call and schedule my surgery. Everything went easy. Since I am 75 I appreciated that.
Trustworthy and personable. An outstanding and through surgeon.
THE BEST! Gives me a lot of confidence facing down surgery!
