Dr. Crandall is the most unethical, disingenuous and worst surgeon in Arizona.
My review is 100% transparent, as I'm a patient of Dr. Crandall and he performed lower lumbar fusion on me.
His bedside manner's are atrocious, moreover in my personal opinion having been operated on by him his technical skills are nonexistent. He flat out refuses to take the time required to sit with patients and listen to their needs he's too busy and concerned and worried about getting to the new patient in order to get them into an operating room to make money.
I just went in to see him an hour ago after having fallen off a horse last week. I waited in his waiting room for an hour and a half before they called me back. I waited another 20 minutes, that's when his assistant came in and took me for x-rays.
I saw Dr. Crandall when I was being taken into the x-ray room, and then minutes later his assistant came in the room and stated Dr. Crandall will not see me.
There was no genuine medical reason given, other than to say "he cannot help me".
How can a doctor say he cannot help me when he never stepped in to take a look at me, he also acknowledged he would not look at the x-rays.
What kind of back surgeon puts you on the schedule, takes your money, makes you wait an hour and a half, takes an x-ray and then doesn't look at it and won't see you?
In my opinion as the patient that is not how you treat people, it's not how you treat your patients, lastly he has no business being a licensed orthopedic surgeon in the state of Arizona or any other state.
Please please please do your homework read the reviews, do research, look at the internet, the Arizona board of medical examiners website, his license, Arizona superior court docket, how many times he's been sued... Do not allow Dr. Crandall to perform surgery on you you will regret it. I hope this review hopes you make a better decision than I did.
