I was able to interact with Dr. Crenshaw just briefly before my first surgery in the hospital & he has incredible bedside manner. He was able to calm my nerves , he & his entire team before surgery. In the office I had the privilege of meeting his PA or NA & she was equally as wonderful. Answered any and all questions without hesitation, I left feeling more relaxed & ready for my second surgery than going in. Their entire staff is great.

Doctor Crenshaw helped me live life again. I am still doing physical therapy, but my life is getting better. I am a 55-year-old woman that weighs 322. Dr. Crenshaw was the only one that helped me with my left knee. He’s a man of compassion and empathy if you ever need some kind of a surgery please go to Dr. Crenshaw. He will never let you down. I am waiting for my right knee to be done, but it will take time and I’ll definitely want Dr. Crenshaw for my doctor. Thank you.
