He is the best
Thank you
To the point- gave me all the information I needed w a pleasant demeanor
He is fine and helpful the wait wasn’t
He is the BEST , takes time with you , very personal, not like a doctor but a best friend
Un addition to being very knowledgeable, he is a very kind, caring doctor, and it shows.
An excellent doctor! After xrays, he took the time to answer my questions and concerns. He explained what was going on with me and made a recommendation for next steps.
Dr. Crutcher is a life saver. I mean I have zero pain like I had prior to surgery. I feel like I’m back to normal just two months after surgery. To me, it was worth the 3 1/2 months of waiting to have Dr. Crutcher replace my hip. Experience matters in any field of professions, and Dr. Crutcher definitely has all of the qualifications of a fine surgeon
Best in Seattle!
Wonderful experience for my 1st surgery ever. Feeling great so far on my 2nd day post op
