I have been going to Dr. Crepet for 4 years and find her to be extremely knowledgeable. She takes time to listen and gives good practical advice, as well as excellent medical care. I am comfortable with her service and highly recommend her.

Aggressive, condescending and rude; have no respect to patients desire and wishes; demanded rather than explained options and went to the point of stating that "i might not be the best patient for this place.", I would recommend that you stay AWAY from this person

Assuming, condescending, simple-minded, and largely incompetent. She's otherwise friendly, but I didn't need a new friend - I needed a competent doctor. She was a total waste of time. Her knowledge seems very limited and her interest in a patient's suffering is dismissive at best. I would recommend staying clear away from her.

Dr. Crepet came highly recommended by many other women when I moved to Ithaca. She spends time with the patient, answers questions, and discusses multiple treatment options with the patient. She also makes recommendations for preventative care.
