Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

'BC' IS IN THE HOUSE!
To borrow the sports expression, Dr. Crellin is all in for his patients. For a first-time surgery patient at 72, I was anxious to 'go under the knife.' Thanks to Dr. Crellin's office and surgical staff, I was treated with compassion and professionalism by everyone. I give him my highest recommendation!

Great Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Crellin for years. He has performed 5 surgeries on me (shoulders and knees) and her performed knee surgeries on two of my kids. He always takes time to talk to us and gives us loads of options (surgery often not being his main go to unless absolutely necessary). He is also very mindful of not recommending procedures or tests that are costly unless absolutely necessary. I have three kids knee deep in sports and he always squeezes us in if we needed to see him quickly. He is super smart and knows his stuff! We love him and are so glad we found him.

Dr. Crellin takes the time to explain what is going on with your body. He explains the options you have and what the result will be with the option chosen. He tells you honestly what he feels the best option is. He is very down to earth and instantly makes you feel comfortable. When you're already scared because something is wrong or you wouldn't be in his office, he makes the effort to make you feel comfortable, answers all questions and actually spends time with his patients.

Dr. Crellin fixed my ACL tear. After my initial visit, I was very pleased he was going to be the doctor taking care of me. He was great at explaining everything, made me feel at ease, and has a fun personality. I was scheduled to have my surgery, then the Covid-19 pandemic happened and it had to be cancelled. Once surgeries resumed, he personally called me to check on me. The team he works with has also been very pleasant! I am very pleased with him!

Dr Crellin did my shoulder surgery. He is an excellent surgeon. He spent time with me explaining the surgery, is warm and compassionate. He seems to understand what you're feeling as you are approaching surgery. I would highly recommend him and should I need any orthopedic services in the future will call him first.

When I saw Dr. Crellin I was impressed with his complete attention to what I was saying. He gave me all the time I needed and I never felt he was ready to rush out to the next patience. We talked about alternative treatments and made the choice together which was right for me. For me, if I feel a doctor won't listen to my input, that doctor is fired and I find another. Dr. Crellin is definitely a keeper.
