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.

Taking a toddler to the dentist is nobody's idea of a fun morning adventure, but Dr. Crawford and his staff make a potentially frustrating experience as easy as possible, providing plenty of toys and a playroom in the lobby and lots of toys and experiences (tv, fish tank, stuffed animals) in the actual "dentistry" area of the office (which feels kind of like the basement of your grandparent's house). My 17 month old was never exactly excited to be at the dentist but he al...

Dr. Crawford and his staff are always courteous, professional and helpful. My daughter has been seeing him for 9 years and we've always had great experiences (as much as one can have a great experience getting dental work). I trust him completely with her teeth, as he always explains the reasons behind all of the work he recommends and doesn't push expensive work--like braces--unless he feels it's absolutely necessary.

My son had a great experience here! It is clear that Dr. Crawford and his team have a lot of experience with kids. While I sat in the waiting room, I saw so many long term families come through the door. We look forward to our next visit!

Both my special needs son - autism - and my son with anxiety have been going to Dr. Crawford for over 10 years. Dr. Crawford is informative and explains everything in great detail to me and is great with the boys! And they are very comfortable with him and the entire office staff. As a Mom I am very comfortable with Dr. Crawford and his staff and know that my kids are being well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Crawford for you children, including special needs children.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Crawford. My son looks forward to his dental visits! Dr. Crawford has a wonderful demeanor with kids and also takes time to clearly explain the visit to the parents, taking as much time as needed to make sure all our questions are answered. We are big fans!

We have been very happy with our experience with Dr Crawford's office. It was very important to me that my kids felt comfortable going to the dentist and that they would start to take some responsibility for their own dental care. Indeed, they walk in happily and we leave with great instructions for their regular care. We also appreciate that the office stays on schedule --- we have never had long waits to be seen and can generally get appointments that fit our schedul...

Dr. Crawford has provided great dental care for our boys. He is conservative in treatment, but very thorough. He takes time after each appointment to talk about each individual child and discusses current and future plans. My boys never complain about going to the dentist. We like that their dental and orthopedic care is seamless.

Our Pediatrician recommended Dr. Crawford after taking my toddler son to a Pediatric Dentist and receiving an expensive and aggressive treatment plan. Dr. Crawford gave us another option for our son that was much less invasive. We are very happy with the results and overall care and guidance by Dr. Crawford. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially those with young children. My son loves going to his office and has never once shed a tear there.

Dr. Crawford's office is busy place but the staff is always courteous. Dr. Crawford is the first dentist who my son with special needs is comfortable with. My teenage daughter also likes going to Dr. Crawford. His philosophy is conservative but that has proven to be the right course for us.
