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.

Dr. Crelin practices medicine without a conscience. WHAT?! Does he get paid by the BIG Pharma? I'd like to know. I had RAI Radioactive Iodine and it totally ruined my eyes forever. The ophthalmologist, D.r Massaro, said my eyes would NEVER go back to normal. The new normal is that they stick out and protrude so much that people stare at me! I was suicidal. Thank God I have a wonderful husband and kids. Dr. Crelin I SHOULD HAVE SUED! Do Not go to him! If you are currently seeing him, go to Froedtert. They have a wonderful, very responsible staff who truly care about their patients. Dr. Crelin is very irresponsible. CHANGE NOW!

I was referred to Dr. Crelin by my primary to follow up on my Cushing's Disease diagnosis/surgery. My primary thought it would be a good idea to have an endocrinologist review my case to ensure I was still on the right track with recovery after so many years. Dr. Crelin entered the room and barely introduced himself. He proceeded to tell me that he did not believe my diagnosis was correct due to the fact that "my tumor didn't stain a particular way" and ended the visit immediately after that. He never took the time to sit and chat with me. If he actually reviewed my chart, he would've seen that I had textbook symptoms as noted by MANY Cushing specialists and that the tumor removal saved my life. I never returned to that rude man after that.

I have never had a doctor with such poor bedside manner. He insulted me during the office exam and never called me when I had dangerous blood work results which could have resulted in a heart attack. This blood work was after I had taken a medication he prescribed.

I have been seeing Dr. Crelin for my diabetes. I recently have seen him for a diabetic follow-up. During my visit, he "rushed" through my office visit. I felt that I was an inconvenience and was taking up his time. He failed to discuss with me during this visit that he was changing the dosage of my medication. When I went to fill the prescription, there was total confusion. It took me approximately 1.5 weeks to get the prescription filled.

Has taken care of my 90 year old Grandmother for years and she strongly recommends him, I should have see him early in in my diagnosis. Dr. Crelin has treated me for my diabetes and thyroid. He is kind and knowledgeable.

If anyone is seeing Dr Crelin in Waukesha, Wi, please STOP! He completely destroyed my life when I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. He said that I needed a RadioActive Iodine treatment. I trusted him and he did NOT explain what could possibly happen to me. He said, "It could affect your eyes. But, probably not." I put my faith in his hands. Within 1 week after this, my eyes started protruding. I was NOT referred to an opthamologist until 2 mos later. Too late. My eyes stick out FOREVER.
