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.

He is great!

Highly recommended
From my first appointment on, Dr Craw was very professional but still had the time to answer all my questions about carpal tunnel surgery. I didn’t feel like I was just a number and hurried thru the surgery process. After my first appointment, I was at total ease. I say the same for his entire staff. I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist early January and in 6 weeks I was able to golf with my family on our winter vacation. Mid February, I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist and an Ulnar Compression Release on my left elbow. In both cases the pain was very minimal and manageable. After the first week of initial recovery the healing process is quite quick and noticeable better every day. Follow doctors orders. I highly recommend, without hesitation, Dr Craw and his staff.

Would highly recommend.
Saw Dr. Craw for a problem with both hands. He was very friendly. did a complete exam, ordered x-rays and then told me what the problem was. He offered three possible treatments and explained each one. I elected to have the surgery on both hands. Had surgery on my left hand, then 8 weeks later had surgery on my right hand. I am 11 weeks post op on my left hand and 3 weeks on my right and both hands are doing well.

Dr Craw took extra time out of his busy schedule to make sure that I received immediate attention for carpal tunnel issues. I am a Chiropractor and really need my hands; so the endoscopic procedure allowed me to get back to work quickly and with very little discomfort. Dr Craw is A#1 in my book!

Dr. Craw performed my shoulder joint replacement surgery in January of 2016. I found him to be thorough, personable and the results of the surgery speak volumes about his skill and competence as an orthopedic surgeon. He was always willing to answer questions and offer encouragement and empathy during the recovery period. I highly recommend him as a surgeon.

I really liked Dr. Craw. He performed my Carpal Tunnel surgery, and I am pleased with the results. It is hard to see where the incision was, because of the procedure he used. I have already recommended him to several people.

I had a great experience with OSC! Although breaking my wrist was not the best experience, Dr. Craw and the staff at OSC really helped me through the healing process. Dr. Craw was professional, and very easy to talk with. He gave me great information on my injury and the road to recovery!
