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.

I can only imagine the 1 star reviews are about his bedside manner? But seriously, he is the best orthopedic surgeon this side of the Cascades.

Dr. Crawford was the bee's knees. If there is one person you want fixing your shoulder, it's him. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and explain what was happening and was open to any questions I asked him. He's a leader in his field and not only does the research-y professor stuff but still operates regularly, something that is a rare commodity in the medical field.

I am shocked to see some of these poor reviews. He is a surgeon and a very capable one at that. I am not looking to be coddled but rather a doctor who can repair my issue. That issue was a complete rupture of the patellar tendon. BTW, his bedside manner is just fine. I have progressed well and after 4 months and doing just about everything outside of running and full jumps. I would recommend Crawford for any knee issues.

Dr Crawford gave me insight that no other dr has been able to provide. He was kind and compassionate. He listened intently and when I was confused with what he was explaining he provided a great visual that helped me understand. He took a great deal of time with me.
