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.

Couldn't ask for better care.
Dr Crooks is very knowledgeable of course. I'm super confident in his handling of my pain management. The staff members are always very nice and caring

Exceptional Care Experience
Service with Dr Crooks was excellent. This includes all the moving parts. Check-in, then transitioning to the medical assistant (MA) BP, IV etc.. it was warm, friendly and help set me at ease. Lastly doctor Crooks and his ENTIRE operating room staff. They were friendly, warm & reassuring. For me this is SO important if I’m going to have and maintain a go-forward relationship, which I plan on doing. Thank you everyone for making my visit and procedure top tier.

Dr Crooks is professional and thorough.
I like that the provider(s) have another person in the room recording conversations so they can give the patient their FULL, undivided attention.

Nope. Disappearing doctor
He was very nice. He was to schedule a procedure. Nothing happened. One month later I went to Dr. Again and there was no documentation. They said they’d get back to me. Never did. 2 hour drive to the office
