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.

Wonderful doctor
Takes the time to really listen to you. Found my thyroid cancer and referred me to the appropriate doctors. Is excellent at working with patients.

Won’t be seeing him again. Once was enough. Barely listened. Didn’t seem to know anything . Never made direct eye contact.

Unhappy patient - waste of my money – Mar 04, 2018

Not very friendly or personable. Seems like he’d rather be anywhere but in a room with a patient. Barely spent time with me.

Practically my entire family goes to see him and we have had a wonderful experience. He’s to the point and doesn’t beat around the bush. He takes your concerns seriously and quickly. I haven’t had a problem with him at all.

My mother has been a patient with Dr Crancer for quite awhile. He doesn't keep on top of issues that arise until they are bad enough to require surgery then when she is put into rehab he tends to forget he is her primary doctor and refuses to sign a release for her to come home. NOT recommended unless you as a child can keep on top of his actions. I left him because of incompetence
