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.

Smart and thoughtful
10 to 15 minute waiting time, which I thought was reasonable. Once I was brought into the office, the meet and greet with the doctor and x-ray system was efficient.

Retiring at year's end but what a doctor and man!
Dr. Crawford, aka The 'Crawfather' has taken care of me for the last 20 years...knee, shoulder, wrists, hands, elbows. He's done 5 surgeries on me over the years, and his expertise and bedside manner is the absolute BEST. He's knowledgeable, friendly, patient and kind, always. Whenever I had a problem, he had the answer. His retirement is a loss to every future patient at AOSM. Be well and enjoy your retirement, Dr Crawford....and THANK YOU!!!

Absolutely the best! I am playing tennis 5 to 6 ti
Another excellent review and diagnosis of a knee situation. Two years ago I had a full knee replacement and I am playing tennis 5 to 6 times a week and cannot tell the difference between the real one and the new one.

Dr. Crawford has a direct approach to his trade.
I had a hip ache. Dr. Crawford asked questions, looked at my x-rays, did a physical evaluation, and deducted a likely root cause. He recommended I perform rehabilitative exercises and notify him if the ache does not abate. Very no-nonsense stuff. Ian pleased.

One of the best care-givers I've met
Dr. Crawford is a great doctor & surgeon, but even better is his bed-side manner. He talks to you, is concerned about your condition, and will take as much time as you want. He introduces extra information into a discussion that wasn't asked for but is very relevant and helpful to understand the situation. His level of knowledge always impresses me. He also includes personal anecdotes that are relevant to the discussion too. He has treated me for two orthopedic issues. I felt so appreciative of his attention & care after the first accident, I went back to him for elective surgery and am very grateful I did. I wish all doctors I meet could be as open and caring as he is.

Excellent Experience
I suffered a Patella fracture and underwent surgery with Dr. Crawford in April 2023. Dr. Crawford explained my XRays, the surgical procedure, and answered all of my pre-Op questions. Immediately following the surgery, he met with my wife to explain how the surgery went and what he encountered. The surgery was a success and I am on my way to recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Crawford.
