Dr. Frank Richard Crantz, MD

Dr. Crantz has been my Dr. for over 15 years. He has kept me alive so far. And I am thankful for that. I am surprised by some of the negative reviews I see here.

I went to Dr. Crantz during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) because the doctor my OB recommended was not available. I did not like him at all. I though he was very dismissive and not very personable. He did call personally to give test results but that was the only thing I liked about him. I dont feel like he gave complete information. After I delivered, I had some complications. I was released from the hospital and was to go see him immediately. When I got there, he saw me, didnt really look at me, read over my chart and told me to follow the plan that I was on because I was set to deliver soon. He didnt even notice that I had already had my baby. Which is odd because the doctors in the hospital communicated that to his office which is why he requested to see me. Everyone's experience is different. This is mine.

Extremely arrogant and unprofessional. I am an Asian descent, possibly even racist. Everyone beware of this doctor. He is not going to give the service of a professional doctor.

Dr. Crantz calls you personally to give you results from any test immediately. Explains everything even though I do not have a serious condition

Dr Crantz is an outstanding clinician. He is highly professional, patient-centered and very efficient. I was fortunate that I was referred to him 15 years ago and I remain a loyal patient. I trust him and value his expert clinical judgment.

I adore Dr. Crantz. After our first meeting I was nervous about returning because he basically called me out on my stuff. Every follow up appointment he has been kind and takes time to answer ALL of my questions. He calls you with lab results, not a nurse, and answers any questions about those results. He cares about his patients. Bottom line, if you're looking for a doctor to stroke your ego and not call you out on your poor health habits, he is not for you. If you want a brilliant doctor who will be a true partner in your care, go to Dr. Crantz. He is exactly what I needed and I'm healthier for staying with him.

Dr. Crantz continues to be a leader and innovator in endocrinology and internal medicine with his commitment to root cause analysis and continuing research/education. My personal thanks to him for his dedicated efforts to dive deep into the numbers and respective causal relationships to properly diagnosis issues and concerns.

The main thing you need from a specialist is accuracy and knowledge. Dr. Crantz has that in abundance. Highly recommend for anyone in need of superior endocrinology services.

I really appreciate the promptness of Dr Crantz and his staff. He's always on time and doesn't leave you waiting in the exam room after the technician has performed the initial workup. He also calls the next day with the results and any change of plan. Overall, I have been very pleased with the care I have received and have referred my patients to their practice.

Like Lt. Cdr. Spock from Vulcan, Dr. Crantz is all about logic -- it's all in the numbers of your blood work. That being said, it seems to be the trend these days with endocrinologists. Your T levels have a wide range of what is considered "normal" -- if you're right at the min or max fringe of that range, you're considered to be doing fine. But most of us with thyroid issues know that how you "feel" can be dramatically different if you are at the low or high end of the "normal" range. I will give Dr. Crantz credit for indulging me in wanting to try different thyroid medications and experiment with dosages until I found one that made me feel like "my normal" self (even though my T levels were always in the "medical normal" range. It can be a long process to find the brand and dosage that works for you, but it is worth it to wake up and feel like yourself everyday. All in all, Dr. Crantz is a good combination of the Vulcan science officer and the human; like Spock, he is both.… At first he may baulk at your suggestions of changing your brand or dosage because "your numbers look good", but he always agrees to let you try. Because of this willingness on his part, I stick with him and feel very safe and confident being a patient in that very logical and pragmatic mind of his. Dr. Crantz, may you live long and prosper.
