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.

My experience with Dr. Craig was wonderful from the moment we met in the emergency room he was a total gentleman a caring doctor and an asset to Saint Matthias and any patients he has ever taken care of In my eyes, God has gifted him with a special talent, gifted hands and a wonderful staff at his side, helping healing people Don Klang

Dr. Craig is an excellent doctor in every way. the women who does the billing is a nightmare. She was insinuating that my insurance company sent me a $135.00 check that I kept. she was rude on the phone threatening to send it to collections as I was telling her I would call my insurance company to see what is going on. I said their is no need to threatening collections and she said " i'm sorry you feel that way, good bye. Class act you have there Dr. Craig. P.S. I had gall bladder surgery in September, I have double insurance that paid the doctor $40,000.00 in October and this is how she spoke to me for a $135.00 balance. unbelievable.

I chose to visit this doctor based on the positive reviews on this board. However, despite my rating the office environment and staff as excellent, I was very disappointed in my meeting with the doctor. He was very curt and dismissal in attitude and spent only 3-4 minutes

A truly phenomenal doctor! Dr. Craig did a biopsy for lymph nodes on me. He was kind and compassionate. He fully informed me of the procedure and results, not putting me off to talk to my oncologist. He even took time out of his personal vacation time to remove the drain tube in my side. If you need a surgeon, this is the man to do it!

I was in miserable pain and was lucky enough T to have Dr Craig as my surgeon! Just released after laparoscopic surgery feeling soooooo much better with minimal scaring. His calming nature put me right at ease. He took the time to talk me through every step and checked up on me following the surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend him he is The Best !
