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 would recommend Dr. Crane to my family and friends. She is my primary care physician and I value her opinion. She was also my 90 y/o mother"s provider prior to my mother's passing and I respected and appreciated her care for my mother.

Dr. Crane is very pleasant. Most doctors I’ve seen are very dismissive and make you feel like you are in the way of them getting to their next patient. But Dr. Crane makes me feel like she’s sincerely interested in my health. She’s a joy and easy to talk to you. I really appreciate her.

I LOVE DR. CRANE. MY HUSBAND AND I , WITH THE HELP FROM DR. KAREN ARRESTED, WHOM WE BOTH HAD AT LEAST 25 YEARS, MADE SURE THAT BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ADDED TO DR. CRANES NEW PATIENT LIST. UNFORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY FROM MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA BEFORE HE GOT A CHANCE TO MEET HER. I FEEL THAT DR. CRANE TRUELY CARES ABOUT HER PATIENTS, SHE LISTENS, IS COMPASSIONATE, LOVING AND ENJOYS BEING A DR. I TELL HER SHE WAS CHOSEN FOR THIS JOB, BY GOD AND THAT THIS IS A GIFT GIVEN TO HER.
