Best of the best!

Friendly, shows concern.

Excellent bed side manners

Great doctor! Takes time to listen to all your questions. Never gives the feeling of being too busy for you. A1 guy!

I chose Dr. Craig to be my spine specialist because my grandmother was so pleased with his bedside manner and results from two spinal blocks. To date, Dr. Craig has administered two spinal blocks for me. However, this week he spoke with me about my latest diagnosis: cervical stenosis. I appreciate that Dr. Craig keeps expectations for spinal blocks realistic and prepares the patient for possible surgical options much later down the road. Also, Dr. Craig chooses to give his patients quality care. Therefore, I am never surprised when I may not be seen at the exact time of my appointment. Yet I also do not feel that the delay is so long that it is considered rude to me as the patient. A doctor who checks every box is one that a patient should be willing to wait for, because when they get back to a room to see Dr. Craig, it will only be all about them when it is their turn. Thanks, Dr. Craig, for your time and specific plan just for me!

Dr. Craig is the first doctor that has been able to effectively diagnose my mother’s pain. That is after 5 years of visiting doctors everywhere. He is excellent.
