Dr. Richard Crawford is the best!
September 28, 2025
Dr. Richard Crawford was the BEST Endocrinologist I have ever had by far! He was very knowledgeable, very through in all aspects concerning my health issues, he listened to everything I had to say and actually took notes about my symptoms and explained things in a manner that were easy to understand. He was very kind and caring. He went the extra mile to test me for different things. I can't say enough good things about him! When I left his office I knew I was in good hands! I hope I haven't forgotten to mention anything else about him because he's one of a kind!!! I have another appointment with him on 4 months. Can't say enough about what a wonderful doctor he is!!!
