The check-in was painful. There were too few workers at the front desk—requiring standing for 20 to 30 minutes. This should be adressed!

Dr. W. Crutcher and his entire team @ OPA in Bellevue, go above and beyond, to provide professional, personalized and compassionate care for all their patients.Can you imagine a perfect doctor visit where the entire staff work in full synchronicity and the surgeon is early to see you? Dr. Crutcher is very thorough, a careful listener, and on my first visit he mapped out next steps, a timeline, and a plan of action. I haven't received this quality of medical care in years. Thank you Dr. Crutcher and the entire OPA staff for making our trip to Bellevue the least stressful and best medical experience I've had across 14 US state's and four countries in many, many years.
