My procedure went perfectly well and Dr. Crafton personally followed up multiple times with me to make sure that I was recovering and doing well.

Dr. Crafton is honestly the best Surgeon around! I have family members who have had other general surgeons operate on them and none of them compare to the work and bedside manner that this doctor has! I wouldn't recommend anyone other than him!

I have had several surgeries all with complications until I found Dr. Crafton. I had no complications following my surgery and he did a great job on my incision and follow-up care. He also operated on my husband with no complications. Excellent doctor! He is worth any of the time you have to wait to see him.
