Dr. William Crutcher has been an exceptional Doctor and Surgeon. I broke my Tibial Plateau a year ago and had 2 surgeries, spent 12 days in the hospital, had 3 months of Non weight bearing and 11 months of PT. It is because of his attention to details, listening, empathy, compassionate care, and being a gifted surgeon I am back to near normal after a very serious accident. I feel blessed and fortunate to have had his care over this full year. He is an amazing Doctor.
