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.

Got my life back
I had rapidly progressing leg and back symptoms while standing. MRI in December showed severe spinal stenosis. I first saw Dr Crutcher on January 31. He said I needed surgery. I agreed eagerly. On February 18 he did a three level laminectomy. I knew that evening when I first stood up my problem was gone! Now 6 week later my back is recovering from the mechanical pain related to healing. I can lift my grandchildren again. Soon I will play pickleball again. At 72 my health overall is excellent. Nice to have my life back. My hospital stay was excellent. Could not have been better. Thanks to everyone!Thanks you Dr. Crutcher!

Dr Crutcher gave me my life back
I have been in severe debilitating pain for over 20 years. I couldn't find a Dr to take me seriously. After moving to Raleigh, my new primary referred me to Dr Crutcher. I had taken a fall and after xray, scan, and MRI Dr C performed a lumbar laminectomy due to cauda equina syndrome. That was 2 months ago. I am PAIN FREE for the first time in over 2 decades.
