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.

Dr Crane very professional healthcare provider
Dr Crane has stood with us through this very trying medical diagnosis. She has been caring and understanding, while providing exceptional care. Her treatment options are always explained thoroughly, and she stays on top of current research and treatment. Very pleased to have her as my doctor!

Dr. Crane has been following my sister and me for a few years. My sister is in a trial study recommended by Dr. Crane, and has shown notable improvement. I was able to be released from further study after testing came back negative. Dr. Crane is one of the most caring and compassionate physicians I have encountered! She is very knowledgeable about dementia care and keeps up with all the latest studies and treatments. She never makes you feel rushed, and makes sure the patient and family members understand the plan of care. She has surrounded herself with staff that are skilled and share her passion for achieving the best outcome for the patient! I would highly recommend Dr. Crane to help you navigate this difficult time in your life!

Phenomenal Care!
Dr. Crane and her nurse practitioner, Amber Tayman, were incredibly kind, empathetic, and helpful during my grandfather's follow up visit. During this difficult time, they are extremely comforting and knowledgeable regarding his prognosis and treatment options. My family and I are so grateful for them and all their clinic does!

Dr. Crane and staff are very personable. Dr. Crane is very knowledgeable about the latest technologies and developments in the field of memory loss. She took time to review and explain our situation. She thoroughly explained possible future actions and was excited for us to commence treatments. We look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Crane.

Not a Neurologist
Dr. Crane sends patients for extensive testing, collects that data, and then you don’t see her again after that. Appointments are with her PA, they claim she reviews all records. She is a geriatric medicine doctor, not a neurologist. She seems to me to be way more interested in collecting money for her foundation than she is in caring for her patients. When we expressed interest in seeing her for an appointment after seeing the PA multiple times, we were told we would need to go to the Pat Summitt Clinic if we wanted to see an actual doctor. When we initiated that process, they drug their feet on sending the records to Pat Summitt, it was inefficient AT BEST. Would absolutely not recommend this doctor or her clinic.

Navigating alzheimers is difficult for both the patient and a caregiver. Dr. Crane's knowledge, expertise, thoughtfulness and guidance make the journey much less frightening and bewildering. In a challenging field where new possibilities are just now emerging you need someone on top of their game. Dr. Crane is just that.
