During my visit I had unrelated neurological issues. He quickly got help and reassured me that what was happening was not neurological. This helped me clarify my understanding of my neurological condition. I learned alot even though I was causing him challenges in his day.

I've consistently had excellent care with Dr. Crane. He is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. He always comes prepared.

He has a warm, patient manner that puts you at ease, and he has a great sense of humor that makes appointments more comfortable. Overall, he's both highly knowledgeable and genuinely caring, which has made a big difference in my care.
He speaks with me like I am an intelligent person. I appreciate the effort he puts into understanding my test results as well as symptoms. I feel like an actual conversation takes place and what I say is worth the time to considered. He is a physician that has earned my respect. So wonderful to have a physician when I ask about a test that I think may relate to results of an other test. He pulls that test up and tells me he thinks there may or may not be a relationship. He will even read an other physician's note. He has exceeded my expectations.
Dr Crane is very caring, listens and gives honest feed back. Gives referral for care needed to other specialties.
Dr Crane also explained a new RX we are going to try. He asked me if I had any questions. I feel like we are going forward with both Drs giving me a new option

I had a good experience with Dr Crane and would recommend! He listened to me as I explained ALOT about my overall migraine experiences. He did a great job providing examples and asking for more clarity. He reviewed our immediate plans and our long term plan and I felt a part of those decisions. I was asked about my weight in a way that confused me and I wish I had asked a few more questions about why that was relevant upfront. After he explained why it was important, I felt more open to discussing further.

Dr. Crane MD. Was amazing, thoughtful, considering, friendly, informative, friendly, & very much put at ease! He was amazing. Thank you Dr Crane & his nurse.
I have seen Dr. Crane twice and both times he has stayed later than the hospital staff in order to complete his evaluations. That says a lot to me. He has the respect of all around him, including myself. I feel very lucky to be one of his patients. I feel like I receive 100% of his attention while I'm with him. During the last procedure, him and his team eased my tension about the procedure before they began. He explained what to expect and the possible side effects after. During the procedure, he explained what he was going to do before each step. That helped a lot. He is kind and gentle and extremely thorough. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be able to give me the best possible treatment. Thank you
Very knowledgeable and Caring.
Dr Crane was extremely clear about his diagnosis and explained how we would proceed forward and did everything possible to make testing available as quickly as possible
