Dr. Crutcher was born and raised in Seattle and happily returned home in 2018 after eight years of school on the east coast. He and his wife have a growing family with a young daughter and their golden retriever, Rosie. He grew up around OPA as his father, James P. Crutcher, MD has been a long-time member of the group. Dr. Crutcher enjoys skiing and hiking the great outdoors, playing tennis and basketball, and spending quality time with family.
Although his reputation for knowing his study from to back proceeds him, his attitude toward me has been completely subpar. From casually ignoring all requests to justify no surgery on my broken collarbone, to no-showing the latest appointment we scheduled, who’s was probably the most important meeting we have had to date. I had just gotten in to an accident on October 9, and greatly needed to talk to him about the newest X-rays taken, as the sprain clavicle became a seperated or disconnected clavicle, and has been requested to follow up with surgery. I also needed to talk to him about other pressing issues, but to the entire staff, it seemed my waiting in the lobby was an utter waste of time, and leisurely mocked. After 40 minutes of waiting, out of frustration I approached the front desk and asked if I should just take off. Only after explaining my complete frustration did she tell me he wasn’t even in the office, and that I should wait some more. After another 15 minutes, I left.
Good explainable of my condition.
He’s a special Dr very detailed oriented makes sure you are aware of everything going on with you, and takes care of you until those things can be taken care of.
I think that him and his staff were very professional and very knowledgeable and I would recommend them to any of my family and friends🤷🏽♀️👍🏿👌🏿👨🏾🦲
