In 2013, Dr. Crabtree performed surgery first to control an infection and later to remove my lung cancer. Both were life threatening. In just a few months it will be 5 years of cancer free living for me thanks to Dr. Crabtree. He is a true gentleman and we found him to be honest even though his words my have been hard to hear at the time.

This man is a bad word. He knows nothing about the diaphram and children have better bedside manner. You couldn't pay me a million dollar to see this fool again. He is lucky I didn't throw water in his face. Dr. Hazelrigg is way nicer and would walk circles around your buy head. Go back where you came from.

He is great! However, Dr Crabtree is no longer affiliated with Washington Univ. or Barnes Hospital.

Dr. Crabtree was able to remove my mothers lung cancer about 9 months ago. Since then, the cancer came back. The latest spot was in her lung right where the trachea inters the lung and it was blocking her airways. He was able to go in and remove the tumor, opening her airways again. I am so thankful that we live close enough to St. Louis that our local hospital was able to transfer mom there. I will be forever grateful for hi. He was also great at answering all of our questions and followed up with the family along with mom.
