Dr. George Frederick Cravens, MD

Dr George saved my life

Unethical doctor, do not trust.

Best surgeon ever! He saved my life. He performed a craniotomy in 2017 and I have CT scans every six months and cancer hasn't returned. God bless you Dr Cravens!

Just awful. I found Found a new surgeon. Dr Cho is great.

Dr. Cravens has always been spot on with all of my surgeries I do recommend him. It pays to go in and talk to him with problem you will understand he explains it takes time to explains every thing to you and shows your ex rays or disc to you so you can actually what is going on . very good man and Dr.

BEST DOCTOR EVER

Left my Mom in a vegetable state and could not speak with him

Again, I was denied seeing Dr. George F.Cravens. This was my second time trying to see him. I told the PA that I would like to talk to him about my situation. I ask if he was there and she said "yea somewhere". I waited quite awhile then she came back in and told me he had left the building. I was referred to him, but I will not refer him. When you have an appointment with a doctor and he doesn't have time for you, I don't have time for him. I don't care how good he's suppose to be. I'm done. Rude and unprofessional.

Hard to trust anyone else

I knew I had a Tumor going in and was referred by another Doctor. I took in the results of the MRI and CD it was on and 1st saw the PA and was not impressed at all and then Doctor Cravens came in and said I needed some blood test, a more specifics MRI of the tumor and I needed to see another Doctor as they might have to work together on the treatment or surgery on my head. He said they would set things up with appointments. Then he left. Getting this office to do something takes an act of God. I ended up setting the appointments and had trouble getting the Doctors orders of what the test consisted of. That took days and numerous phone calls. Then since we had an MRI the insurance company needed a pier to pier to have explained to them why a second MRI was needed. That never happened as Dr. Cravens could not take 5 minutes to talk to them. I made the appointment with the Dr. he wanted me to see and was told they needed results of the blood test and MRI so they could know what was… going on and to be able to confer with Doctor Cravens. I called Cravens office numerous times to have them send it to the Doctor and was told many times they would. But they never did. The Doctor Cravens referred us to tried many times to reach him and to confer but his calls were never returned. After a month nothing was happening, I still was not able to get the other MRI of my Tumor, I had made many calls then finally heard from Dr Cravens office that instead of an MRI they could use a CT Scan. (He did not want to do that pier to pier.) They would order it. Two weeks later it was still not ordered so I made an appointment with another Neurosurgeon and am so glad I did. They are doing all the things that Dr Cravens office would not do. I think Dr. Cravens has done this so long that he just has no urgency, is bored by it all, and does not care anymore. The new Doctor has seen the size of my tumor and can not believe all I have had to go through as it needs to be taken care of. If you own a business or are a doctor, lawyer or whatever and your name is on the door you are responsible to see that your employees are doing the job right. He may have at one time been a great surgeon, but the way he is today and the way his office is run, he is no longer. I had heard all this from some others but thought it could not be that bad and went to him. Big mistake, it is that bad!
