Dr. Crawford has been treating my wife and I for a number of years in a most out standing manner. Her treatments have always worked and included cancer surgery on my back. I would recommend her without hesitation.

My visit to Dr. Crawford was for the purpose of my eczema flaring up on my eyelids and under my eyes, which was very painful. I must say that the young lady at the front desk was kind. Once I was taken back to the room, the assistant that proceeded to ask me questions was a bit cold. The doctor came in initially to get a box of tissues and didn’t acknowledge me sitting there waiting on her, although she looked directly at me. I said hello to her as she was walking out, and she chose to say hi at that point. When she finally came into the exam room, she had a piece of paper that talked about eczema. I have been dealing with eczema since before grade school, so at this stage in my life, I am very aware of what eczema is. As she is talking and not allowing me to get a word in, she barely looks at me and rushes through what she is going through on the paper. When I tried to explain something to her in reference to what I was experiencing, she let me know that she is not finished talking and that she will look at the area of concern when she is finished. When she finished her spill, she stood to look at my eye, but did not get close to me to get a good look. I also mentioned the breakout on my neck, and she didn’t bother to look at that. She proceeds to point out on the piece of paper the soaps and lotions that I should use, and I tried telling her I was using those same products, but it didn’t matter. She proceeded to go through some medicines that she would prescribe for my condition and handed me the paper with her scribbles all over it when she was done. I have never had a doctor expect me to read their scratches on a piece of paper. Although I dealt with her coldness as well as the feeling of being rushed through my appointment, I was hopeful that the medicines prescribed would provide some relief of what I had been dealing with. NO!!! My condition got worse when using what she prescribed, to the point where the skin split under my eye, and it was very painful to have my eye open. My neck itched very badly when I put the ointment on it and the eczema became worse than it was in that area. This was a horrible experience and it’s a shame that she gives the alma mater a bad name. Instead of taking the time to know her patient’s history to determine what may work, she chose instead to just write a bunch of prescriptions in hopes of one of them working.

Dr. Lynda Crawford is the worst doctor/dermatologist in the area. I’ve never seen a person act so rude, arrogant, rigid, abrasive and lacks compassion . She seriously has the bedside manners of a mortician. When she entered the room, she comes in with a random woman. She says the person’s name but doesn’t state why she was there. Dr. Crawford offered no greeting. During the consultation, she yelled at me when I continued to talk about my issues and said “Stop! Let me finish my answer.” 😳 I let her finish. As she’s speaking I feel myself become flushed. When I further declined to take one of the suggested medications, she became furious and exhibited a serious attitude and displayed a frustrated disposition. I told her I felt uncomfortable with how she was speaking to me and that I felt she was rushing me along. She slammed her feet on the floor and said, “my feet are firmly planted, you have no reason to feel that way” All of this is taking place as the random woman is watching while I’m undressed with a paper gown on. Further during the consultation, Dr. Crawford became so visibly upset that I had questions and a list of concerns that I came in with that she storms out the room before the consultation was over. I was left sitting there. I put on my clothes in total disbelief. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I thought I was in a twilight zone. I have never experienced such an unprofessional doctor. No one should ever have to go through that. And, I try my best to support AA professionals. I can see why the ratings are 2 or less. Reviews really do matter. Don’t EVER go to her or send your loved ones to this practice. It amazing that they are still open for business. Her reviews on vitals and healthgrades are deplorable.

I've had eczema my entire life so I have been managing it quite well. However; I moved and had to find a new dermatologist. Choosing Dr. Crawford was the worst decision. Her bedside manner is cold and uncaring. Her front desk and back office staff are rude and cold just like her; I guess behaviors trickle down from the top. My skin has gotten worse under her care. Now they have this new "government mandated" form for patients to fill out. LIES- this is not mandated - its payment incentive program. I had a feeling she was just there to write prescriptions for money. She doesnt care about your skin she only cares about getting kick-back from the various, non-compatible prescriptions written. You've been warned - go someplace else for your skin care.

Dr. Lynda Crawford Front Desk Staff are unprofessional, uncaring and a poor representation of that office. Often times the front line staff are a representation of the physician or physicians in the practice. I would not refer patients to her practice. They are disorganized to say the least. Insurance verification and patient follow up is a vital function of the Front desk staff prior to patient follow up or appointment. Dr. Crawford's office lacks this basis skill set.. I should have checked the ratings prior to making the appointment. The white office manager is in dire need of a course in Customer Service and professionalism. Dr. Crawford it is a vital function in life to surround yourself with positive people....you will continue to recieve a decline in patient volume if your support rude and unprofessionalism from the staff that your hire and continue to support and retain. It doesn't reflect well on you to say the least !

I was seen by Dr. Crawford and she misdiagnose me saying that I have warts on private area and could not remove it because of the location. I went to my obgyn who immediately stated that it did not look like warts and remove it to send to the pathologist. The pathological report came back as Skin Tag NOT warts. I will NEVER go back to this lady as she has demonstrated being unqualified in her profession.

This doctor and her staff are rude. The only good staff she had are working where the doctor and horrible "so called" office manager are NOT bi-polar. The doctor reminds you of Ru Paul-the MA Karen reminds you of a gossip mogul- the office manager "WTF" nastiest person that ever lived
DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR -- OR -- OFFICE !!!!!!

Dr. Crawford is rude and condescending. Be prepared to wait for over an hour and to have multiple visits and copayments. Additionally, she is disrespectful when you ask questions because she's in a rush.
