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!
