Patient Reviews
Sep 26, 2024
In mid summer 2024, I saw Dr. Crater for a torn meniscus. He took time to explain all my options. He was informative, compassionate, and professional. I did not feel 'rushed' into surgery but when I did opt for surgery, I went in with high confidence in Dr. Crater's ability. I was very pleased with the post operation office visits and feel that the surgery was a success. Dr. Crater met and exceeded my expectations.
