Dr. Craig is very polite and the techniques he uses are not an exact science. Misdiagnoses happen but after each appointment the majority of patients have a reduction in pain. While Dr. Craig is not forced to accept MediCare and other Insurances where he receives little to nothing and sometimes loses money on procedures, he does. Each of the comments below is ridiculous in there own way and if they do not like him they can find a new doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Craig for almost 8 years for RSD. My first appt. didn't go we'll. I was in so much pain. I was seeing Dr. Craig weekly. He knew I had RSD before testing was complete. He came up with an aggressive treatment plan and kept my disease from advancing. The past 8 years we have worked as a team. My husband and I both have recommended Dr. Craig to family, friend and even strangers. I feel very lucky to have such an awesome doctor and wish some of my others doctors would be like Dr. Craig.

Dr. Craig was very rude to my husband during his 1 & only appt with him. I was in the room during the appt & found him to be very condesending, belittling & rude. We are currently having financial difficulties & have had to go on public assistance for the first time. It is humbling to need the help, but even worse when a medical professional treats us like we are worthless. I feel like we were discriminated against because we have Medicaid, but can't prove it. I have had a professional job for the past 10+ years & have never experienced this type of treatment from a doctor either toward myself or toward the people I advocated for in my profession. Dr. Craig is worthless in my eyes & has no right to treat people with such open disrespect. I guess his hypocratic oath only applies to rich people or those with private insurance. I am not emotional, but cried when we left that appointment.

I was sent to Dr. Craig by Workmen's Comp for post-surgical shoulder pain. I had 5 appointments. I was given an EMG/NCV test, following which I was told I had some nerve damage and carpal tunnel syndrome. However, none of this information appeared in the office visit records I obtained. In addition, the so-called evaluation I received to set permanent weight restrictions was a joke. I lifted no weights. I was able to partially raise my arm to shoulder level....once. Based on this it was determined that I could lift 25 pounds (which I still can't lift). Almost one year later my condition has not improved. Dr. Craig is definitely a company man. If you are sent to him by Workmen's Comp MAKE SURE you get a second opinion from an independent specialist.

This physician misdiagnosed my serious back injuries, which caused my body more extreme problems. After MRIs, x-rays, and other testing, he misdiagnosed my injuries. In fact, I realized during my last visit, he had forgotten that the testing had been performed and hadn't even reviewed the results. This is unacceptable behavior. My injuries continued to worsen. After three months of being treating, I was only becoming worse until I found a physician who properly diagnosed my injuries. Finally, I am on the slow journey to recovery. Please, make sure you investigate your physicians especially if you have any doubts. I should have paid attention to my initial instincts. This is someone who will lie to your face with a smile. The bottom line: We are responsible for our own bodies. Please, make wise decisions when you are choosing a medical professional to trust.

Very professional office staff. Dr. Craig was thorough in his exam and explained what he found and the next steps. I would recommend him to anyone.
