Dr Crane was wonderful. Took time, studied patients history and made very thought full diagnoses. Sure miss him. How come nobody knows what happened- not fair to patients

Dr Crane saved my eyes. After cataract surgery at CPH left me with vision problems and repeated attempt to get the surgeon to do his job and “do no harm”, I went to Center for Sight. He is kind, intelligent, thoughtful and dedicated. I went a week ago to make an appointment with him, but they say he left. I am searching for Dr Crane and continue to be his patient.

His kindness stands out. Staff at the front desk can be rude. The office is supposed to collect copay for only doctor's visit but they force to collect it for anything which is not right. The docs also tend to offer/do unnecessay procedures.

Dr. Crane successfully diagnosed and treated MRSA in my eye efficiently in Kentucky. He went above and beyond with research in finding the best way to treat. I wish he was still in Kentucky.
