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.

Exceptionally caring, thorough, knowledgeable!
Dr. Cravanas listened intently, was thorough and probing to understand nuances, indicators and impacts of my history and symptoms. His patience and careful listening created a relaxed atmosphere that enabled me to describe symptoms and what life is actually like living with my history of multiple mild TBIs… without triggering a stress response. That’s BIG!

The best care
He really listens. Doesn’t fit the stereotypical money grabbing businessman that the health care profession has become. He doesn’t order unnecessary tests or schedule patients at unnecessary intervals. He’s the old fashion listening, caring, comforting physician that the practice used to be. I highly recommend him.

I came to him with decades of neurologic issues. At first, I was not sure what was abnormal or normal. He took the time to listen to me and he helped me understand what symptoms were normal and what symptoms needed investigating. His knowledge is vast and he is able and very willing to share that which pertains to his patients in a way that we can understand. I am proud to say he is my neurologist and recommended him whenever I can.

Very Thorough
Dr. Cravanas was very thorough… going through medical history, explaining things where they could be understood, and taking the time ensuring they were understood.

Don't let 1st impressions put you off!!!
He's thorough!!! He's super sweet, his bedside manner is a little off putting...at first. When you see how thorough a doctor he is, you will look past that first impression, trust me. He doesn't rush through his appointments, he pays attention to every detail. He is a very good doctor, give him a chance and you will see what I mean. Look past the superficial and pay attention to what matters. He is very intelligent, he knows his business, he is very detail oriented and you will be glad you chose him as a Neurologist.

I believe that Dr. Cravanas cares.
Dr. Cravanas listen to all the details of my symptoms, concerns and questions. To reach him, call the main number, and ask for his nurse. The problem is with the system not the doctor.

Doesn’t call back, takes MONTHS to get a response and his assistants just get mad that you’re calling AGAIN to ask for a return call. Disgusting way to care for someone in need!
