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.

Satisfied Patient thus far
My first visit was 3/22/2023. I was greeted by NP Brooks first. He was a great listener and asked appropriate questions for current affair. Dr. Crichlow took data shared with him and went right for a good solution. He was very thorough with his explanation of issue as well as his care plan for me. I truly appreciate their care and concern for me. I definitely recommend them to anyone with ortho concerns.

He’s the very BEST!
He’s helped me twice. First with a shattered patella and second with 2 proximal humerus fractures. His bedside manner is great and his skills are second to none. I have multiple underlying health problems such as lupus, Psoriatic arthritis, IDDM, Chronic Diastolic Heart Failure and more. My procedures have been complex and yet, not once, did he fail to offer consolation and hope for tomorrow. Thank you, Dr Crichlow- you are much appreciated.

Dr. Crichlow along with his staff are very professional, kind, caring, and truly listen and want to help. Dr. Crichlow took the time to listen and explained what the next steps to help me would be. I was not rushed with the appointment unlike other doctors that I've been to before seeing Dr. Crichlow. I highly recommend Dr. Crichlow and his staff.

He was admitted to St Vincent on December 6,2020. Released on January 14,2021. This Dr and his associates operated on him at least 6 times removing over 50% of his muscle and other tissue damage by compartment syndrome. Apparently this Dr decided that my son was an addict and has refused to give him medication for the nerve damage and other pain from all of the surgeries. He was yelled at by an office person that he would have been there for a follow up appointment (when he wasn’t told he needed to do that) he was treated with disrespect.
