Mrs. Minnesota’s thoughts about Crutchfield Dermatology

Mrs. Minnesota

"Even though I've competed in pageants for years, I had never had any cosmetic procedures done. Even though I'd heard wonderful things about Botox and Restylane, I was very hesitant to try anything for fear of looking overly "done." Although I was hesitant at first, I decided to give them a try and am SOOO GLAD that I did! Dr. Crutchfield listened carefully to my concerns and reservations and gave me EXACTLY the results I was looking for! He is the best in the business and I would not trust anyone else with my cosmetic dermatology needs. Dr. Crutchfield and his staff get my highest recommendation and I will be a very satisfied patient for many years to come!"

I mean it with all my heart! You truly are the best!

You're website is AWESOME. I have referred five people to you and they all have been beyond satisfied with their service, treatment and professionalism.
Thanks,
Kim B
I am so happy and I really mean SO HAPPY with my Botox Cosmetic and Restylane treatments. I can’t tell you how nice it is to wake up in the morning and look forward to seeing my face in the mirror when for so long I dreaded it. What an absolute joy! I wish I had come to you years ago. I can’t begin to thank you enough for making me feel so good about myself. Dr. Crutchfield, you and your staff are absolutely the greatest!

Dear Dr. Crutchfield,
Prior to my appointment on Thursday, September 21, I was feeling very scared for my son Alex. I haven’t had the best experiences over the past 9 weeks with doctors. I had heard from two of your past patients that we were going to love coming to your office and that we could trust what you would tell us about our son. From the moment I stepped foot in your office, I knew that we were in a great place. We were greeted by a kind staff, who made an attempt to smile and say “Hello” to us, even though they were all very busy working. The nurse, Mary, introduced herself not only to myself but also to my son. Mary was so great with Alex and I could tell that she helped put Alex at ease. When you walked in the door you sat down and really listened to my concerns. You were honest and sincere. All too often if feels like a doctor has one foot out the door and acts as if they don’t have enough time to deal with your questions or concerns. I can’t tell you how wonderful it felt to be at your office because you immediately put my mind at ease. I feel confident that Alex is receiving the best possible health care and for this, I am thankful that we found you. On your web site you state that “Quality Matters” and that you treat EVERY patient the way you would want to be treated. Thank you for putting your words into action. Your patients and family are blessed to have you in their lives. Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you in 6 weeks.

Sincerely,

Anna E.

PS Alex couldn’t wait to get home so he could take a bath with his new BIG DUCK!
My son Nick had struggled with atopic dermatitis for 2 years. The treatment “ladder” program with light treatments Dr. Crutchfield recommended for him was just amazing. He is much more comfortable, sleeps better, and does much better in school. He still has flare ups, but they are much less severe and short-lived. I am so happy that went to see Dr. Crutchfield.

Hello Dr. Crutchfield!

My name is Sara and I have battled moderate to severe Plaque Psoriasis for nearly five years. What started as one small skin irritation on my right leg eventually consumed my body. In a matter of months my arms, legs, ears, hands, feet and head were covered with painful, swollen, flaking lesions that were attacking my body and tearing away at my self esteem. Often covered from head to toe (even in the summer) in long sleeves and pants I was extremely embarrassed, constantly looking at where I stood, sat or slept for evidence that I had been there. I would often have to vacuum bed sheets, carpet and chairs because of the skin that was literally falling off my body.

On December 20, 2006 as I visited with Dr. Crutchfield I cried! Not tears of pain, but tears of happiness and having my life back. After only a month of treatment, all that remains of my psoriasis is some slight skin discoloration which will eventually be corrected with phototherapy. Three weeks ago I was actually able to shave my legs for the first time since the summer! I saw dramatic results within the first week of treatment and I literally felt better overnight! I cannot say enough about the wonderful way I was treated and cared for by Dr. Crutchfield and his staff of wonderful nurses!! Dr. Crutchfield listened to me, cared about my story and helped me get my self-esteem, my life and (MY SKIN) back!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU…so much for listening, understanding and helping me find myself and (my skin) again!

THANK YOU Dr. Crutchfield!

“Thank you so much! The light treatments have changed my son’s live 100%.! J Thanx! The Olson’s”
Dear Dr. Crutchfield and Staff,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help you have given me in controlling my Psoriasis! My condition has been under control for the first time in my life since I came to Minnesota to see you, and to get your advice and help.

My Psoriasis had started 40 years before, and I had exhausted the roll of Dermatologists out here in California, while hearing the same old story from each of them time and again. Every doctor here told me it was “incurable” and then proceeded to give me the same tired old advice and treatments I had tried before and with no success. I finally settled for a lifetime of wearing long sleeves and long pants during the summer months in my attempts to cover my condition, unless I was with friends or family who accepted my appearance without question. It was always embarrassing however to be asked by strangers who spotted a patch of Psoriasis whether I had fallen down and hurt myself, so I usually lied to them and said yes.

My wife’s cousin had moved to Eagan from Hawaii years before, and part of his decision to do so was due to his own case of Psoriasis. In Hawaii one is almost forced to wear shorts and T-shirts and he too was tired of embarrassing questions. Eventually he was referred to your office for treatment, and the results were so incredible that he called me here in California and offered to fly me out to see you! My wife and I waited until we had free time and had made the decision to make the 4,000 mile round trip to Eagan in our car!

Thank God for that decision, and that long drive, because I had the privilege of spending time in your office and of benefiting from your effective advice and treatment. I was favorable impressed by the friendly and professional way I was treated the moment I walked through the door of your building, and two years later I am happy to report that my condition is still under control, and that I proudly wear my beloved short sleeved shirts and shorts here in the California sunshine! You listened to my questions with patience and caring and you gave answers were new and refreshing and that finally caused me to be optimistic about my condition. For the first time I walked away from an appointment with a Dermatologist with hope and a smile on my face, because after 40 years of searching I had finally found a doctor who didn’t listen to those who had given up long ago, and who went further than anyone else in his search for a cure for this terrible disease!

There is still no cure, but by following your advice and faithfully applying my medications I am 95% symptom free, and my life has been much happier because of it. I have given personal testimonies to others I spot with Psoriasis, and have referred them to your office for treatment, regardless of where they may live. I hope they took my advice to heart and found you.

This is the only way I know of thanking you. You have truly done your part to create a happier and better world. Thank you so very much and please keep up your search for a final cure. If anyone can find it----it is you!

"Dear Dr. Crutchfield, our family is so grateful for the wonderful improvement in Mary's life that you and your kind, sensitive staff have made possible. As a teenager she became increasingly demoralized, withdrawn and embarrassed with the way her acne made her appear, even though she knew it was not her fault. She hated having her picture taken. We tried every over-the-counter acne product and even ordered a product we saw on TV but nothing helped. As a patient, you have always welcomed her as a personal friend, encouraged her, and focused on the positive future. And here she is, a few months later, a sophomore in college, with beautiful skin, confident, out-going and ready to take on the world! Our family thanks you and your outstanding staff from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful job you did at clearing up Mary's acne and letting her true, beautiful personality shine through". -

"Dr. Crutchfield and his staff are extremely caring and leave nothing to chance in their psoriasis diagnosis and treatment plan. As a securities officer and volunteer firefighter, my hands are essential to my work and I was frustrated by the limited time and treatment options I received at other dermatology offices. From the moment I stepped into Crutchfield Dermatology I instantly realized that things at the clinic were different. Dr. Crutchfield knew what we were dealing with right away and he established a complete psoriasis treatment program that has changed the quality of my life". -

"I have suffered with vitiligo for several years. Every doctor I visited essentially said that there wasn't much that could be done. I was 'surfing the internet' and came across your website. The vitiligo page looked very interesting so I made an appointment for a consultation. You were informative and honest, indicating that, using a combination of narrow-band UVB phototherapy and other topical treatments, about 75% of patients see improvement. Well, I was in the lucky group who improved! After just 12 light treatments I started seeing color return and after 38 treatments, my condition had almost completely resolved! It's like a mini-miracle! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Crutchfield". -

"Over the past 6 years I've had BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments in Los Angeles, New York, Scottsdale and Edina. The friendly and knowledgeable staff, the warm office setting, professionalism, and fantastic results that I got a Crutchfield Dermatology were unmatched by any other clinic that I have ever visited. I am thrilled that the treatments are done personally by Dr. Crutchfield and not one of his assistants. I also like the fact that Dr. Crutchfield trained at the Mayo Clinic and that he is a Board Certified Dermatologist. During my initial consultation, Dr. Crutchfield really took his time and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed or pressured to have the treatment, like I did at other clinics. After visiting Crutchfield Dermatology, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face. In fact, I fly from Arizona twice per year for Dr. Crutchfield to do my BOTOX® Cosmetic and Restylane treatments!" -

I just want to thank you for having me use CutiLotion for my rosacea. It has stopped its advance and has actually calmed the redness. However, the benefits go beyond just helping my rosacea. I have noticed that my skin is much softer and the skin tone is much more even. I rarely wear foundation anymore. CutiLotion has made a difference in my skin. Thank you so much!

I appreciate that you, Dr. Crutchfield, and your team at Crutchfield Dermatology are always trying to make "good" ... "GREAT". You have made improvements to the Lipodissolve treatments that you offer which have made it much more comfortable, less likely to swell as much and more effective with the double (before and after) ultrasound massage. You could have kept things the way they were without anyone knowing the difference, but as I said ... you always strive to make good GREAT. Thank you!

I want to say thank you for all you have done for me. My skin is so much better than it has been for years. I thought that I had to suffer with psoriasis and there was not much that could be done, but now I know differently. As a result, I feel much better about myself, and I want to thank you for that- it really makes a big difference in my life. Thank you very, very much.

Dr. Crutchfield and Staff, I have an upcoming appointment that I am truly looking forward to but I did not want to wait to tell you how much I have enjoyed this newsletter. The articles are very interesting and I would enjoy getting to know more about a couple of the procedures. However, there was one article that touched my heart. You see, my two wonderful boys have autism.
Thank you, thank you for including this happy message....

I am so happy with how my skin looks. The difference is night and day. My psoriasis is clear! I wore a short sleeve shirt this week for the first time in years, and it is the first time I was able to comfortably shave my legs without scaring my 5 year old daughter (from bleeding)! I am so happy with the psoriasis treatment at Crutchfield Dermatology that I am telling everyone I know who has psoriasis and even people I don’t know, who I see out in public, about how great you have been for me.

Thanks you, thank you, thank you!!!

Dr. Charles Crutchfield,
Thank you for affording me the opportunity to spend time with you at your clinic. It was an amazing experience to see you at work and interact with patients. More so to see a successful person of color who is a leader in the community is a great pleasure. Thank you for all you have done to heal and motivate others.

Azieb K.
Dr. Crutchfield,
Thank you for all you did for our class this spring and for giving me the opportunity to shadow you. Going to your class was always the highlight of my week this spring; it did so much to alleviate my fears and answer my questions about the medical school application process. It also made me excited to be a doctor! Hearing your stories and those of the speakers you brought in as well as the trips to the Minnesota and Mayo Medical Schools were truly invaluable experiences. I would not be as prepared or determined to apply to medical school without them. Shadowing you helped me see what being a doctor is like on a daily basis. I was so impressed by what a well run and welcoming practice you have! I am so grateful for all you have done.

Thank you,
Heather H.
Dr. Crutchfield,
On behalf of the Minority Student’s Pre-Health Coalition (MSPC), I wanted to express our sincerest appreciation for the opportunity to attend the University of Minnesota’s Pre-Medical Forum. This program was one of a kind, and it truly left an impact on many of us pre-medical students. We were granted the opportunity to meet with current medical students, doctors, and admissions counselors. We were allowed to shadow in an anatomy lab, learn about infectious disease, as well as given important advice about the medical school application. We were encouraged to think about medicine not only from a scientific perspective, but also with the patient in mind through a discussion based on the play, “Ms. Evers’ Boys.” We had the opportunity to have lunch with student representatives from different medical schools in the Midwest region, and learn more about student life than what a pamphlet can offer. It was overall a wonderful experience and it definitely opened my eyes to what contributions I can offer to the medical field. After the conference, our organization’s participation numbers definitely increased. I believe that the University of Minnesota’s “Heart of Medicine” conference gave many of our underclassmen members a great insight into the medical world. Thank you for all of your support.

Sincerely,
Vanessa Ozomaro
MSPC President 2007-2008
Dr. Crutchfield,
Thank for your generous contribution which allowed me and my fellow MSPC group members to attend the Student Medical Conference at the University of Minnesota. The conference was one of the highlights of my sophomore year; the presentations introduced me to the various sub-fields in the career of medicine allowing me to gain a better understanding of my future. We also had a very nice opportunity to have lunch with medical students and admission officers from various medical schools around the country. Besides the wealth of knowledge that I gained, the whole experience was a motivational booster which helped me stay focused on my pre-medical track the rest of my sophomore year. Thanks once again and hope you are having an enjoyable summer!!

Sincerely,
Dorjee N.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I would like to thank you for your extremely generous donation to MSPC that allowed us to attend University of Minnesota's Pre-Medical Forum this past January. The experience was worthwhile and I believe that we all gained a greater insight into the field of medicine. Perhaps the best part of the conference for me was the introduction to various medical schools and summer programs. Of these programs, there were some that particularly caught my interest such as the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program. If not involved in my current pre-med summer program, Minnesota's Future Doctors, I would have like to apply for one or both of these opportunities.

I would again like to thank you for your valuable gift and interest in our futures. Your involvement in our organization is encouraging and greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Gina A.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I would really like to thank you for generously donating to Carleton College's Minority Student's Prehealth Coalition. Your presence as an advocate for Prehealth students is strongly felt on Carleton's Campus and is so very much appreciated. It is wonderful to have someone in the Northfield community who really believes in the potential of Carleton students in future health careers. Again, thank you so very much for support MSPC. It is very much appreciated!

Sincerely,
Johanna D.

Dr. Crutchfield,
Over the course of the 2006-2007 I have had the chance to be exposed to many opportunities that would not be possible without your dedication and support to MSPC. One of the most valuable experiences that I have had with MSPC is attending the SNMA Medical Conference at the University of Minnesota in January. The knowledge that I gained throughout the two day workshop was very important and even though I no longer desire to attend medical school, I have been exposed to so many other resources in health related fields that I feel as though I have gained a head start on my future career endeavors, which I know would not be possible without the support you provide this organization. I feel as though I definitely have had an advantage when compared to other rising college sophomores simply because of all the different networks and realms of career paths that I have been exposed to over the past year, and hopefully you will continue to aide young, talented, determined people such as myself toward achieving our personal goals.

Thankfully,
Kenneth C.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I would like to thank you for funding our trip to the Heart of Medicine Conference at the University of Minnesota this past January. The conference was beneficial for me in numerous ways, but I believe that the most impacting aspects involved learning about the health world outside the realm of medicine. Initially, I had the presumption that a person had to do either research or clinical work, and that both must be rooted in the scientific aspects of medicine. At the conference, I met a number of medical professionals that did both research and clinical work, such as an infectious disease physician, primarily working with malaria, who did research on AIDS in African American women. She had described her research as combining medicine with social and racial dimensions, which I found to be fascinating. One of my primary worries was that in having a medical career, I would be obligated to focus purely on the medicine. However, after the conference, I now know that I can incorporate other disciplines, such as psychology and sociology, into my work while still being an active physician. As such, I feel as though now I have a greater perspective into my future aspirations, and I have you to thank for that. Once again, I appreciate contributions, Dr. Crutchfield, and without your help, I might not have had such an impacting experience.

Keven T.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I would just like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend such a valuable and educational conference. As pre-med students who are constantly taking very intensive classes, we sometimes loose track of our dreams and goals in medicine. Conferences refresh us and motivate us to continue to fight through. They remind us why we chose medicine and how incredible our lives will be as doctors. This conference stood out to me particularly because I had the opportunity to talk with a Ghanaian Pediatrician who is specializing in Infectious Diseases. I talked with her about her plans to open up a clinic in Ghana and shared with her my dreams of opening up an orphanage in Zambia one day and changing the condition of public hospitals in Zambia. She gave me advise for how to go about making my dream a reality and provided me with ways I could keep my self motivated and focused, and away from all of the commotion that comes with stress. I felt and I am still feeling the impact of her words. I accredit you for giving me this wonderful opportunity and powerful experience. You have helped shape my future and solidify my dreams.

Thank You Dr. Crutchfield
Nakita N.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I would like to take this time to thank you for your support in my attendance of the University of Minnesota Pre-Medical Conference. This conference provided me with insight into the medical field and the pre-med track. I attended various informational sessions that highlighted the medical school application process and other factors involved in such a process. I also attended interactive sessions that offered a glimpse into specific fields of medicine such as Radiology, Cardiology and many others. This was quite an enriching experience and has added to my excitement about my future medical career.

Sincerely,
Raymonda R.

Dr. Crutchfield,
I am writing this letter to show my appreciation and gratification for your generosity. I have been an active member of Minority Students Pre-Health Coalition going on three years now and I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my knowledge in the medical field. When I learned about the wonderful conference being held at the University of Minnesota, I knew I wanted to attend. Due to personal financial constraints among the least, I would not have been able to attend the conference. As the past year's secretary of MSPC, I was one of the first members to hear of your acceptance to fund this conference and I was ecstatic. This conference was very helpful to my future endeavors in medicine and I am so thankful that I was able to attend. Among all of the things I could say to show my appreciation, the most important, as well as cliché, would be THANKS. I, along with the rest of the members of MSPC, truly appreciate your donation and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

Sincere Thanks,
Temara Holt
MSPC Secretary '06 - '07

Dr. Crutchfield and Deanna were terrific.........
I was a bit anxious about the full-body skin exam but she alleviated my anxiety by explaining the exact procededure the doctor would follow. Upon examination, Dr. Crutchfield determined that two lesions on my back should be removed for biopsy. Deanna gently adminstered the anesthesia and Dr. Crutchfield assured me removal would be painless.........and it was! They both maintained a professional, personable demeanor and never seemed to be in a rush. Deanna took the time to give me thorough instructions regarding the post-op care I needed to follow, and supplied me with informational pamphlets regarding a variety of skin conditions to watch for. She wrote her name and phone number down for me in case I needed to contact her if any questions or concerns arose regarding my surgery. I am impressed and grateful for the care I received during my visit, and I will enthusiastically recommend Dr. Crutchfield and his staff to my relatives, friends, and co-workers for their dermatological concerns, secure in the knowledge that they will receive the same individual attention and quality of care.

Patrick’s father called and wanted to thank you for all of you help with treating his son’s acne. He had completed an acne medication program recommended by Dr. Crutchfield including Aramis laser therapy for acne. Patrick is now off to college for his first year and is so happy he is starting college acne free. The father also stated that the positive experience he ahd at Crutchfield Dermtology has inspired him to become a Dermatologist some day.

“Dr. Crutchfield your staff is simply wonderful! I should know, at my age I go to many doctor’s offices and your staff is the best.”

I do enjoy your newsletter. There are so many articles of interest. I have been getting the newsletter for about a year and finally got my first appointment with Dr. Crutchfield next week.

Dr. Crutchfield and Staff,
My wife and daughter were in to see you on Monday and had a fabulous visit. My wife Jody is still talking about how very kind and professional everyone is and Carys is still sleeping with a big, yellow rubber ducky!! Who ever thought that going to see the Doctor would be an experience to remember? Thanks for making each patient feel special!!

Dear Dr. Crutchfield,
For the last thirty years, I have seen numerous dermatologists who have recommended a plethora of treatments and procedures in hopes of conquering my complexion problems – all to no avail.

In June of 2007, I stepped into your office. I was inspired by your professionalism and obvious expertise, and impressed by your genuine care and concern.

Per your recommended plan, I set up eight sessions of Aramis treatments along with using a prescribed topical and oral antibiotic. Although my insurance would not cover the Aramis, you accommodated me in offering a nice discount. For that I’m grateful!

During my office visits I browsed through your brochures. The Botox information piqued my interest. After struggling with acne for so many years, I now had wrinkles to deal with too! I decided to give it a try!

After the Botox injection in my forehead, I’m hooked! You have an uncanny talent that is a form of artistry and expertise. No droopy eyes to replace forehead wrinkles. Instead I am refreshed, look relaxed and feel as if I’ve had a mini forehead lift which also “opens” my eyes! Thank you!!!

During my one-month follow up for the Botox, I inquired about Restylane for reducing the appearance of lines around my mouth. After your encouraging words, again I decided – why not?! You were kind enough to fit me into your schedule then and there. In fact, I believe you stayed after hours to accommodate me once again. Unfortunately, after two series of pokes on one side, both you and I agreed that for some reason, it wasn’t taking and swelling was occurring under my left eye. You were kind to use a different “filler” for the other side and decided not charge me. I was speechless! After signing the consent form, I was fully aware there were no guarantees. Your decision in foregoing collection of payment was most unexpected, extremely generous, and spoke much your integrity and ethics! Again, I’m very grateful!

I’m now receiving alpha-hydroxy acid peels with the Neostrata products. I am extremely pleased with the improvement of my skin after only four treatments. Can’t wait to see the full effects after twelve!

I wholeheartedly recommend you for any dermatological and cosmetic procedure. You are a talent who is and will be appreciated by anyone seeking a natural way to look their best! I am happy to have the opportunity to be under your very skilled care.

Sincerely,
Deb S.,
Eagan, Minnesota

Dear Dr. Crutchfield,
I wanted to thank you both so much for the excellent care that I received at your office on Thursday. Even though I was stuck in traffic, and arrived late, you were very hospitable, and made me feel welcomed!

Thanks too, Dr. Crutchfield, for the complimentary "touch-up"! That was so very kind. I look forward to seeing at my next office visit

Sincerely,

On behalf of the American College of Physicians, we wanted to extend our sincere appreciation for your willingness to educate your colleagues on the topics of psoriasis & rosacea. The lessons were delivered masterfully, and the treatment photos (before and after) were simply stunning [we are still searching for something in Internal Medicine which provides such a positive outcome…] Not to mention the great anecdotes from residency days --- quite humorous! Well done!

It was great to meet you, and thanks again for so generously offering your time and talents for the benefit of your colleagues.

Warmest Regards,

John B.

Dear Dr Charles E Crutchfield III:

Thank you for presenting Fred Finkelstein and his film “My Skin’s on Fire” to Minnesota on Saturday October 06th. I heard many people say that they had learned so much form your program. As usual, you gave most generously of your time and information during the question and answer period. Our people are hungry for accurate information and help.

It is because of your help and co-operation that our Minnesota Psoriasis Support Group has flourished. We do have one of the largest groups in the country. We are very grateful for all that you have done from the very beginning of our meetings. You have helped to educate and inform us about the many successful ways of treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

I especially appreciated the help of Kerry from your staff to get a mailing out. She is a most delightful and helpful young woman.

We look forward to working with you in the future,

Gertrude C, Leader
Minnesota Psoriasis Support Group

Hi Dr. Crutchfield,

My name is Syana Sarnaik, I'm a pediatric emergency medicine fellow at Pittsburgh Children's. You were my dermatologist when I was at the U of M medical school. You treated my acne and I have enjoyed great skin ever since. I am so grateful to you! You were able to help me when so many other treatments had failed. Thank you again. I truly have lasting wonderful skin!

Now, my sister has adult acne as well. I was hoping to send her to you. I will have her make an appointment with you if possible. Thanks for everything!

Sincerely,
Syana S. M.D.

Just wanted you to know I think this newsletter just keeps on getting better and better and better!

Congratulations and please keep up the good communications.

Thanks
Elease P.

We really love your e-letter and read the whole thing together.

Dear Dr. Crutchfield,

I am glad I chose your clinic from the many presented on the Internet. Your articles in various magazines and printed information on your website influenced thankfully, my decision. The cost in comparison to liposuction was another deciding factor. There was minimal downtime and I explained my neck being swollen as a bee sting one time and a spider bite at others.

I am so happy with the results because it does not appear that I had anything done and that is a sign of a job well done. I always notice the double-chin effect or swollen neck on people who have had mesotherapy or liposuction and most of those had a defining jaw line, but looked ridiculous because below that line the skin was loose and hanging.

Your staff was at all times kind, considerate and thoughtful. I am grateful for the professionalism at your clinic as well, and most importantly, the final result.

Respectfully yours,
Steven R.

Dear Dr. Crutchfield,

I can not thank you enough for all of the hard work and time you devoted last week to making me look better! I really appreciate everything that you have done. You have made me feel like “25” again – (I wish)!

I look forward to the next appointment. Many, many thanks, again!

Sincerely,
Faith S.

Dear Dr. Charles Crutchfield,

You are the most giving Dr. I have ever met. Please stay the way you are, a blessing to me and my family. We truly love you with the love of God. I always say you have blessed hands and your staff is very special also. I thank you so much for the gift you sent to me.

P.S. You are a very special kind of person.

Thanks so much for the info on Vitiligo in your newsletter. My son has been going to light therapy treatments 3 x/week for close to a year and a half. It's amazing what a difference it has made both physically and emotionally for him. I appreciate the info your newsletter provides.

I can’t say enough about how happy I am with my psoriasis treatment. I am essentially clear and in a really good spot in my life. I wish I had come to you years ago. Your care really has been life changing for me.

Controlling my underarm seating (hyperhidrosis) has changed my life! I have more confidence at work, volunteer to give more presentations and am much more outgoing. In my personal life, I’ve been able buy a whole new selection of clothes, including a new silk shirt! I can’t believe that I actually bought a new silk shirt, and I love it and I love wearing it with confidence!

For everyone suffering with underarm seating Botox injections really are as close to a miracle cure as it gets.

Thanks Dr. Crutchfield!

Dr. Crutchfield –

Thank you for taking an interest in this program and allowing us to shadow you! I have a much better idea of what dermatology entails now.

Sincerely,

Dr. Crutchfield,

I want to thank you graciously for allowing me the time and opportunity to shadow you. I loved how knowledgeable and personal you were with your patients which truly established a base of trust between you and them. I thank you for letting me be able to see first hand the art and work of dermatology, and this is an experience that I would never forget as I progress through the medical field.

Sincerely,
Sika L.

Dr. Crutchfield,

Thank you! You just don’t realize how much you and your staff have renewed my confidence in public speaking, face to face conversations, and my own self-image. You are a blessing! So please keep doing what you’re doing in the friendly way you’re doing it. You’ve touched my life more than you know!

“I have had hand psoriasis for over 20 years. I have seen so many doctors that I have lost count. After seeing Dr. Crutchfield, in only 1 week, my hands are clear for the first time in 20 years. I think he is the world’s best dermatologist and I salute him.”
