Dr. Crum did an outstanding job explaining my issue, treatment options, and next steps! Although it was very obvious she had a wealth of knowledge and experience, she explained things to me in a way that was easy for me to understand.

Dr. Crum was AMAZING. She actually stopped me in the hall (carrying my one-year-old, the patient) prior to meeting with us and told us that we were doing great, which was so kind. I was so impressed with how she interacted with my child, making animal noises, playing games with her, and working with me to keep her happy and engaged through a long appointment.

Dr. Crum will bend over backwards for her patients. She wants you involved with your care and is very good at explaining complicated information in a way that you can understand.

I am very fond of my PA and feel like she provides excellent care - including quickly recommend I see a specialist. I saw her first because she is readily accessible and I am confident in her advice.

Dr Crum was able to provide me some additional treatment plans (hot pack) for an existing problem with dry eyes that has proven to give me much needed relief.

Dr. Crum is so caring and compassionate as she examines and treats you. She explains everything in details that are understandable to the lay person, which is more than appreciated. She, herself, is always neat and graciiously attired. She is able to put you at ease and overall is a very caring person with your needs as the utmost. I would highly recommend Dr Crum to anyone who is in need of an opthomologist. The Moran Eye Center is the place to be with eye problems or just simply a routine check-up.
UofU Patient

Dr. Crum knew immediately what the cause of my problem was. I feel very confident with her expertise .

My experience was very positive
UofU Patient
February 16, 2015
I was treated with the utmost respect and time spent with me to explain my situation and the procedure to follow was excellent. Everything was explained to me in detail as well as printed material to follow. All of those who tended to me that visit were very kind and caring and explained each step that I was to follow. Medications were prescribed and details given as to the proper administration of these. I have and will continue to recommend this care provider to others.
UofU Patient
February 12, 2015
Dr. Krum is young and very high energy, and wound pretty tightly. She is no doubt VERY smart and capable. She seemed a bit hurried with me, and seemed to be trying to exhibit true concern. But I guess it's asking a bit much of a stranger to have empathy (I'm not being sarcastic). Even though I'm a man with a tough exterior and seemingly unaffected, this has been a terribly frustrating ordeal for me. I play competitive tennis and ski 30 days a year, and spend my summers fly fishing. What now? I guess I was just disappointed to be treated like another sick patient. This is more of a commentary on the state of our medical community than a direct criticism of Dr. Krum. I just wish care givers would slow down and show a little compassion, that's all.
UofU Patient
January 26, 2015
I couldn't be more impressed with all the helpful people taking care of me

Dr. Crum is VERY kind! She was beyond understanding of my anxiety issues and really went above and beyond with helping me cope! She is very gentle, patient, and intelligent. I am so happy that my ophthalmologist referred me to her for my procedure.
UofU Patient
December 11, 2014
There were 3 other physicians in on the visit and that just made for a lot of chaos and confusion! Is this necessary?
UofU Patient
December 05, 2014
dr. crum was much more friendly and forthcoming at this clinic than the one by the University Hospital. she gave me more information, showed more concern and was more friendly.

Dr. Crum and her staff were as good as it gets in all fazes of my appointment. My wife and I drove from Ketchum, Idaho and found the appoint exceeded our expectations. Dr. Crum is a great example to follow.
UofU Patient
November 18, 2014
I think Dr. Crum is a good doctor. I like her she seems knowledgeable. I just didn't like waiting so long to see her that day. My first visit was much better time wise. It is difficult to get appointments at the times you want at the center. I don't like that because coming up there is a lot of traffic.
UofU Patient
November 11, 2014
Best Dr. !!!
UofU Patient
November 10, 2014
I sound like her mother with my recommendations. I have I a very difficult situation to deal with.

I think she will get better and better. please let her know hoe I appreciate her care.
UofU Patient

I felt like Dr Crum focused on me as the patient and what I was there for. She also helped me look at other things I couldn't approach Dr Warner about. I am very satisfied with how she treated me.

I feel like I am in good hands. Also like that the Dr. was open to me seeing an ENT first to do a prior surgery before she does hers.

Even when I got panicky and thought Dr. Crumb didn't get what I was saying about my eyes not working together she calmed me down gently then explained it to me again that in away that I knew she understood what I was saying yet again validating me. i apologized panicking on her she accepted the apology and said she understood why . Dr.Crumb is a wonderful Dr. She is one of the best I've been to in a very long time Bedside manner wonderful as well as wonderful personality.

UofU Patient
September 24, 2014
I think the Dr. took extra time with me once she realized that my previous experience at the Park City Moran was under par. However, she did not have enough time to explain the handouts but the front desk was able to do that after.
UofU Patient
September 20, 2014
The visit was wonderful. We really felt great about the testing, results and explanation provided by Dr. Crum. Thank you
UofU Patient
September 15, 2014
Dr. Crum showed sincere concern for my well being and issues with my eyes.
UofU Patient
September 12, 2014
Due to lack of time I think she was rushed through the process a little. I left feeling a little like I could have had more questions answered or my problem wasn't solved.
UofU Patient
August 22, 2014
Dr Crum herself is a courteous and kind lady. But two months of ignoring my request does not speak well for your lackluster bureaucracy
UofU Patient
August 14, 2014
Dr. Crum was very nice and did her job great, took her time to explain what she was doing and why in words that I could understand. She went over all paper work with me (what to do when I got home )and did not hurry me at all Went out of her way to help with a medicare issue, and I really appreciated that. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We have ALWAYS gotten A plus service by all at the center.

I only saw the actual provider for maybe 5 minutes. In the middle of my appointment, while getting a summary of my case, she left the room then came back 5-10 minutes later. I understand providers at your facility are very busy and many cases you see are much more critical than mine, however I did not have any confidence that she had any interest or concern in my case at all.

My surgery on the right eye was not successful. I feel that if I had not called it to the doctor's attention, nothing would have been done about it. It was obvious from the beginning that the stitches had slipped, but nothing was done about it until I brought it up 6 months later.

Doctor told me to wait 2 months to see me next to see if I need operation wanted time to see notes from the past when I arrived Dr. Crum didn't have notes then my care manager gave her the notes she spent a few minutes reading them and then made a decision why did I have to wait 2 months , Dr. Crum then ask why we decided to come see her and not keep my previous doctor. I'm really confused I have had an eye injury for 3 years and in a lot of pain and discomfort none of this was address I feel like my cares and needs were not taken care of or address I feel my last visit was a waste of my time.

I had the discussion with Dr. Crum (This was my 2nd Visit) that on our 1st visit she seemed distant and bothered or rushed and that it was not a good first impression. However on this visit, Dr. Crum was excellent. She was attentive, showed compassion and empathy, she communicated well and her caring shined through. I also told her I liked this Dr. Crum very much!

Dr. Crumb explained exactly what she was seeing in the images, gave a good description of the procedure and gave us specific answers to our questions after the surgery. We have no complaints and in fact feel like she and Dr. Dasina were great with follow up visits as well.
UofU Patient
