Dr. Craven is rated based on my personal care and opinion as well as being being referred to him by my medical insurance carrier as the best in the area.

His relationship with dead patients is excellent. He understands how serious of sight the deaf people heavily depend upon since they lost sense of hearing. They can be self sufficient at the visual world. They communicate in written, signing and interpreters. This doctor patiently writes to explain the notes or explain clearly through interpreter. Strong suggestion for deaf people.

I've been a patient of Dr. Craven for over 20 years. Doctor and his staff have always been professional and efficient in their care and my treatment. I just got a message from them to call about some recent testing I had done. Being 70 my memory isn't the greatest so I was so glad to hear from the office.

Great doctor but the office staff is very rude and condescending. ESPECIALLY the woman who does scheduling. Truly awful experience dealing with the staff.

In my opnion Dr. Craven has a unprofessional manner, or at least with me he exhibited such. I went in for a routine eye exam, as I newly am on medicare thru Anthem, I should only have had to pay a $20 co-pay. He told me that he could not get an accurate reading of my refraction that I would have to come back after taking some eye drops to moisten my eyes. I did such and he charged my insurance for another eye exam. In actuality he was finishing what hadn't been completed from my first visit which took all of 5 minutes! I was also charged another $20 co-pay as well. My insurance says that because he billed my insurance as 2 office visits I had to pay the 2 co-pays. Needless to say I will find another eye doctor to go to. And when I questioned the additional $20 copay he was to say the least very irritated, telling me that insurance does not cover refractions. This is a total contradiction to what my insurance had told me. Judge for yourself.
