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.

C-spine
Dr. Krassen knows little to nothing about long term effects on the brain when prescribing opiates. After 18 years on Fentanyl he just cut me off. I went unconscious while driving and nearly died going through withdrawals. He should have cautioned me weeded me off slowly right after my surgey but he kept writing prescription and I was dumb enough to keep using fentanyl patch.

I waited 50 minutes in the examination room. Finally, he walks in with a student nurse. Just what I need when I have to open up. I think he spent an entire 5 minutes with me, wouldn't let me ask questions, as if he has other more important things to do. Bedside manner? Non-existant. If this is what the medical profession is becoming, we are all in trouble. I felt used, exploited and completely dismissed.

Not impressed in the least, he is not thorough & I felt I needed to lead the appointment in the direction needed. He showed little interest & I felt like I was being shuffled thru so he could be done for the day. Not very warm & caring ... very disappointed ?? Not the kind of Doctor I want to continue long term . He's ok nice , but seems unfeeling / blah to helping you out .

I would not recommend to any family or friends. I would give No Star if I could. Staff seemed overworked and confused,..I could hear them complaining about there job in the back ground. Dr Krassen walked in as if he just woke up or had one bad night (perhaps he did). There was no physical exam at all, nor did he listen, no compassion what so ever. His mood was disturbing and he was abrupt when I asked questions. All in all a big waste of time and Insurance money!
