Crutchfield Dermatology

My acne treatment for my face and back worked very well. I was very impressed with the fast and effective improvement. I would recommend Crutchfield Dermatology to anybody I know with acne. more

I was sent to Dr. Crutchfield for an unusual condition from my primary physician. He has resolved this issue to my surprise and amazement. The difference is astounding. This clinic has been a delight to visit. Everyone I have encountered is professional courteous and provide the highest level of care without making it seem difficult. I would highly recommend Dr. Crutchfield and his staff to anyone. I am a member of the health care profession myself so I am not easily impressed and set very high expectations - these were easily met and exceeded. Thank you. more

Accutane has changed my skin completely. I use to have acne and very oily skin. After a couple weeks of being on Accutane the oil started to go away which was one of my main issues. Now three months later my skin is so smooth, no acne, and NO oil. It looks so fresh and when I wash my face it just feels soft and acne-free. more

I was referred to Dr. Crutchfield after a very severe, deep rash/burn on both legs which was a mystery as to the cause and appropriate treatment. Dr. Crutchfield was able to identify the disorder almost immediately and was confirmed through biopsies. I spent 16 days in the hospital and Dr. Crutchfield worked with the hospital staff in appropriate treatment course. I am on the road to a very slow, but steady recovery with many thanks to Cr. Crutchfield. more

CD exceeded my already high expectations. 1) CD staff is super great, friendly, helpful and well organized 2) CD's technology is awesome - access to Wi-Fi, TV, etc 3) CD's marketing materials - they educate you well on things that matters to you 4) And the best - absolutely professional and detailed attention not only from M.D. Charles E. Crutchfield but also from his staff. I'm proud to be part of this clinique. more

I have had numerous exams with Dr. Crutchfield dermatology. Laser for unwanted hair, pre-cancer removal and peels. The staff and Dr. Crutchfield are very kind and professional and I have always been very pleased with the results and plan on continuing to use Crutchfield Dermatology in the future. more

Dr. Crutchfield is a good dr, a good hearted person, kind. I thank him and his nurse for taking care of me. And also I want to thank him for his support to the community offering his skills to people that doesn't have access to dermatology services of 1st class like his. more

Staff was great. The psoriasis is close to being gone which makes me feel so much better in public. more

Finally found a doctor who contolled my psoriasis. Dr. Crutchfield and his staff our friendly and always very helpful regarding follow-up appointments and refills of meds. more

We have been coming to Dr. Crutchfield for many years. His knowledge and practice in the field of dermatology is excellent and we have the utmost confidence in his care. He is patient and friendly in relating to his clients. more

I have been a patient of Dr. Crutchfield for several years and have spent a lot of money on chemical peels, the Neostrata product line among other things. For my last scheduled appointment, I was sick with the flu and for the first time had to cancel my appointment late. Despite jumping through all the hoops to not be charged the late cancellation because I was sick, they went ahead and charged me anyway. This just seems like a slap in the face for being a loyal client for so long. I know measure need to be in place to deter this kind of behavior but I honestly thought they would make an exception for me being sick and having spent a zillion dollars there to date. Not a chance. I will never go there again. The nurses run the place and if you do see Dr. Crutchfield you're lucky to spend two minutes with him. Luckily, I have found far better service and quality work for cosmetic procedures at Skin Rejuvenation Clinic. I guess ripping people off is more important than retaining good clients. At Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, they go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and make sure you're happy with everything. So long Crutchfield Dermatology. more

I am so impressed and so happy with my visit to Crutchfield Dermatology and Dr. Crutchfield I wanted to share it. First of all, I want to say I’ve never left an online review of anything, so this really means a lot to me. I made an appointment with Dr. Crutchfield to get a suspicious mole checked out. My family doctor told me to have a dermatologist look at it and she told me “Go to Dr. Crutchfield, he is one of the best dermatologists in Minnesota”. Well, she was right! His staff was awesome. They were friendly, informative, and helpful. Small wait in the reception area, but well worth it, plus lots of fresh magazines (I read brand new Oprah mag ,only 2 days old!). The mole check was complete and reassuring. What really got me was Dr. Crutchfield noticed a resolving cold sore on my lip and asked me how often do you get cold sores? I told him several times per year, they have been the bane of my existence!! I have had them on a regular basis since I was 10 years old and I’m now 53. I remember a big one that ruined my prom and another hideous one that had to be air-brushed out of my wedding photos! He told me that I should not ever have another. I was stunned. He gave me a medicine that when I feel one coming on, to take, and it prevents cold sores. I have used it twice over the past 3 months, including before my 35th class reunion and it WORKED! No cold sores! I’m so happy I could just give him a giant hug. I called the office and asked his nurse why no one had ever told me about this medicine before, she just told me “you have only seen Dr. Crutchfield once”! Wow, he and his staff are so nice and they have made a real difference in my life and self-esteem. Lori B. PS next time I see him, I WILL give him a giant hug of thanks! more

That is what we aim to provide for every patient who visits us. \r \r We read with shock and extreme disappointment the fake “review” posted by Benno2666 listed two posts below this posting. It is obvious by the language used and the complete lack of reference to a visit to our clinic, Benno2666 has never been a patient at Crutchfield Dermatology. If the person who posted the attack had ever been a patient at our clinic, they would know that the information they posted was false. \r \r In November of 2010, a false report was posted online claiming that our clinic prohibits people from truthfully commenting on their experiences with us, which is untrue. We are not aware of whether the person who posted the report is a competitor or simply a mean-spirited individual who anonymously seeks to cause mischief. Nonetheless, several people read the false report, believed it, and perpetuated malicious posts, like Benno2666. We have spent a great deal of time and energy addressing this handful of posts bearing false information. \r \r The irony in this matter is that we share the strong belief in the importance of maintaining people’s freedom to communicate. Even so, we are deeply disappointed and disturbed that others, including people from other states and countries with no relationship with our clinic whatsoever, posted false posts despite making no attempt to verify the information before engaging in anonymous and unfounded attacks. \r \r The bottom line is that there is no merit in Benno2666’s post. We have contacted this website and requested that Benno2666’s post be removed. Until then, please consider this response in your evaluation of the merit of the claims made in that post. \r \r Pat Edwards, Quality Director, Crutchfield Dermatology more

LIFE SAVING VISIT.I came in to his office to have a wart on my finger treated and some skin tags on my neck removed. The nurse told me to get into a gown and I asked why when all I needed was him to look at my hand and neck. She told me that Dr. Crutchfield always looks at the backs of new patients because it is an area that is hard for most people to see. Relunctantly I put the gown on. He came in and gave treatment recommendations for the wart and tags, but he also did look at my back and used some little skin microscope (dermascope?) to a mole on my back and told me it looked suspicious and he wanted to remove it. I thought to myself, ""great, he is running 20 minutes late, I came in for a wart and now he wants to take a mole off my back"". Well, the 'mole' turned out to be MELANOMA. He caught it eary and my prognosis is excellent, but if it was caught later (or not at all) I could have DIED. I realize that many people post commnets to doctor rating sites, passively aggressively, (so much for Minnesota nice) because they have waited too long or something of the sort, but let me tell you, don't let those people scare you from getting quality skin care from a truly exceptional dermatologist. In my case, it SAVED MY LIFE and I am forever grateful to Dr. Crutchfield and I want everyone in the world to know it. I THANK YOU AND MY FAMILY THANKS YOU, DR CRUTCHFIELD! more

Crutchfield Dermatology forces patients to sign an agreement saying that they will never say anything negative about the company on the internet, and that the company can seek financial remuneration from them if they do. Two things about that: first, that means that all of the positive reviews you read MEAN NOTHING. For every positive review, they could have a dozen unhappy customers who are afraid to say anything. Second, you have to wonder what they are doing at Crutchfield that they're afraid of people talking about? What is so horrible about that place that you have to sign away your rights as an American citizen to express your opinion before you can receive treatment there? If nothing else, you should go to a doctor who respects your rights as an individual and does not make you sign a piece of paper that essentially gives them carte blanche to give you awful service without any possible recourse on your side. Oh, and in case you're wondering: I never signed the piece of paper, so I can say whatever I want. I'm an American and I'll keep my rights, thanks. more

My visits always start with Dr. Crutchfield's wonderful reception staff greeting me and getting my information. I have never had to wait very long when I arrive on time for my appointments. The only time I have had to wait was when I arrived late, and even then the staff worked me in after the patients who were on time.\r \r Once I am in the exam room, the friendly, well-trained nursing staff take care of the preliminary work (as they do at most clinics). When Dr. Crutchfield comes in, my file is already developed, and he takes all the time he needs to examine my concerns and make an evaluation and prescription, if needed. He remains with me until he knows all of my questions have been answered and my concerns are addressed. \r \r I like the fact that Dr. Crutchfield is sought-after by the University and other doctors as an expert in his field. That, and the fact that he is one of the most engaging, personable doctors I know make him a rare find. I probably shouldn't be telling people about him and his Clinic! Pros: Excellent facility, considerate staff, expert doctor Cons: High demand for top dermatologist requires planning more

Everything noted by the six individuals below is accurate (the good and the bad). Isn't waiting 30 - 60 minutes normal with most medical appointments? I received exactly the same Restylane discount noted below because apparently more was needed than anticipated. . . is this a marketing gimmick to make you think you are saving? hmmmm The chocolates, free facial certificate and champagne were a nice touch. more

The staff was wonderful and Dr. Crutchfield is just lovely! I saw him for some cosmetic work- botox and restylane for an all over syringe-based face lift. He was very courteous and very good with the needle and my pain was minimal. I've had no bruising and very little swelling and the results are AWESOME! I really think that his talent with the needle is why my recovery is such a piece of cake. I look like I aged backwards ten years! He gave me a fair quote and offered a discount if I chose to have the work done that day. I did. While having the work done he felt he underestimated how much I really needed in the way of Restylane and gave me more for free. All in all, I saved money and got amazing work for it! I'm just giddy about it! I received a gift of champagne, Godiva chocolates, and a free Javani facial. I have to say that Dr. Crutchfield is indeed the Nordstrom's of dermatology--- or maybe even the Tiffany's! I'm hooked for certain!:) Pros: Awesome Results/Awesome Customer Service Cons: a bit of a drive from Mpls but near MOA-shop on the way:) more

Dr. Crutchfield and his staff are outstanding! My appointments rarely run late and when they are I am checked on periodically and not just left in the exam room. Dr. Crutchfield does not try to sell you every service or product available and he charts everything he explains to you. he also guarantees his work. Love him and his staff. Pros: his newsletter and discounts Cons: Takes a while intially to see him because he is booked more
