Dr. Abby Crume, DO

Listening

Fabulous, compassionate, and competent colorectal surgeon. As a cancer patient, she's disarming and very easy to talk with. My complex cancer diagnosis has been handled with care; I owe so much to Dr. Crume!

She really is a person that cares about your situation. She takes the time to listen to you and answer any questions in a way you understand what is going on. I recommend her 100%. You will be happy you found her.

Dr. Crume was defensive and dismissive when I questioned her opinion about an exploratory surgery. Ultimately, the surgery was unnecessary. I am so glad I followed my instinct and didn’t trust her “professional” opinion.

Communication is very poor in this office. They don’t call you back even after several messages and don’t care about their patients. Even Dr Crume from one appointment to another wouldn’t even remember things. Find somebody who cares.

Dr. Crume is wonderful. She communicates and explains things well, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients. I've had two surgeries through her for my progressive colorectal condition, and I had my father accompany me throughout the consultations for the second one, helping me go through the information and decisions because he is a retired general surgeon who performed many of the same surgeries as she does. I know he was impressed enough with her surgical skill, communication, and bedside manner that he just referred someone to her. He knows a lot of surgeons, so that says a lot. If you go to her you can be sure that she will do whatever is in your best interest in the least invasive way possible, to get the results needed with the quickest healing time. And you won't get the cold, distant interaction you do with a large majority of surgeons who don't make the effort to connect. Highly recommend her.

Dr. Abby Crume is a wonderful surgeon! She is very kind and takes the time you need to understand your options. Her follow up care after my surgery was excellent. Her and her staff are very caring. I would recommend her to anyone needing her type of expertise.

Dr. Crume is so nice and tells exactly what to expect. She has done 2 surgeries on me and I would recommend her to everyone

After two years of seeing multiple Drs and undergoing numerous painful tests and procedures, I was finally referred to Dr Abby Crume. She was able to identify what was wrong with me within minutes and performed a complicated surgery on my colon that corrected my issues once and for all! She is wonderful!

Not great. If she only had to do it laparoscopically it might have been fine, but she had to cut me open. The incision I was left with was not sewn straight or well it got infections & opened back up in spots including where the lap stuff was inserted. When I went back to see her she said it was my fault for not healing the way most people do cause Im to fat was implied. The staples didnt connect the skin & hurt for weeks. Opening Incisions is clearly NOT her strong suit. Im left with hernias.

Abby is very personable, kind and compassionate. She wants to help her patients. She is a very good surgeon. I appreciate her so much. She always remembers me and my husband. She has a good bedside manner and a good sense of humor. She explains things well and gives a realistic prognosis. I have recommended her to the nurses at an ob/gyn clinic in Provo and they send a lot of their patients to Dr. Crume.
