Very informative, great demeanor
If I had seen Dr. Creighton I’’d have given him a 5. Only saw his PA, for less than 5 minutes.
Dr. Creighton's office and his staff always provide professional and courteous service. I have had two surgical procedures completed by him and many therapy sessions at his clinic and I must sincerely say the experience was very pleasurable. Highly recommended for your orthopedic needs.
Wonderful first visit with Dr Creighton! He is friendly, personable and doesn’t rush through your visit, allowing you time to ask questions.
He is great, I would recommend him to anyone that has hand problems
