Not afraid to take the patients suggestions on treatment plan.
I've been seeing Dr. Crooks for years and he is really the best doctor I have ever had. He listens, cares about how my pain levels are, and makes adjustments when needed. He has definitely given me a better quality of life. I'm very grateful to have him as my doctor. Thank you!
Great bedside manner. Explained the injections. No side-stepping the explanation & he didn’t lie about the pain/pinch/pressure. My shoulder felt much better within 30-40 minutes.
More pain than before the injection!
The procedure worked for 1 day and that wast. Very disappointed.
Super kind and thoughtful.
