"I love doctor Crickard. I fell on vacation and broke my hip. He has followed me since I got home. He is getting ready May 12th to try and un-do what the North Carolina did to my hip to try to stop the pain I am in almost a year after I had my hip surgery In North Carolina where I fell. Dr. C.IS KIND SMART AND DOES not give up. He has the one best quality. He gives me realistic expectations. He does not make you think the hip will ever be like it was prior to my fall and breaking my hip. It is hard to hear but I am so so glad he does this. It does not help to magically think it will be 100% the original surgeon left me with a leg very much shorter than the other. This was devastating. That surgeon never checked on me the 10 days I was in the hospital. I am going into this surgery with hope but realistic expectations and a doctor I totally trust. His down to earth explanations are the best of any doctor I have ever seen@"
