Our child was extremely ill and Dr. Crittell's open mind and willingness to research a very rare illness in our eye's most likely helped save her life. We had been to multiple MD's and had gotten nowhere. Awesome Doc!

Every single time I brought my son to see Dr. Crittell, she would give me this long speech about the importance of sun screen and bug spray. She would talk to me like I was completely clueless on how to take care of my child. My child had surgery for a hernia, but rather than checking that, she was more concerned about the circumference of his head, and had her nurse make an appointment for me to go see a craniofacial specialist regarding the size of my child's head. I did take my child to see the specialist, and was told that the growth charts that pediatrician's use regarding weight, height, and head circumference were just averages. I was told nothing was wrong with my child. If something were to happen to my child, I want to feel secure that his pediatrician knows what they are doing. I didn't get that feeling with Dr. Crittell.
