Going to the doctor is not always the most pleasant of experiences and many people search for a long time to find a doctor who they actually like seeing. Thankfully I don’t have that worry as my physician Dr. David Crawford is one of the greatest guys that I have ever met and honestly it is a pleasure to go and see him whenever I have an issue or a complaint. It is one thing to respect doctors, something which we all should do, but it is quite another to actually like them, and here is why for me, Dr. Crawford is an example of just what a doctor should be.
Closeness
Very few people go to see a doctor for any good reason and it is nice to feel at ease when you walk in. This is something which Dr. Crawford does with ease and it happens because he cares. I have been going to see him now for many years and I love the familiarity that we have, and that he remembers details about my life. Whenever he walk in he will make a joe about the Jets losing or ask how my daughter is getting on and it instantly makes me feel at ease, regardless of what the issue is.
No Job Too Small
Do you ever get in front of the doctor with one complaint and then you think ‘whilst I’m here…’ and begin to reel off other issues which you may have? This is something which I am certainly guilty of but no matter what my complaints are, or how numerous they may be, Dr. Crawford always gives me the time of day and will talk me through any issues which I have going on and treats them with real care. I have visited some doctors in the past who really make you feel as though you are inconveniencing them with your questions or complaints, this is something which I have never felt from Dr. Crawford.
Advice
Something else which I can always count on the doc for is some slid advice, both personal and medical. Whenever the appointment is over he will ask me about my lifestyle how much I am drinking, do I drink enough water, am I getting enough sleep, important questions which shows that he cares and wants me to live the best version of myself. I love that he extends his knowledge and his advice and he has helped me with many situations.
No Rush
Whilst he doesn’t waffle on, Dr. Crawford doesn’t make you feel as though you have to rush out of the office so that he can see the next patient. He will always give you enough time to talk about what is worrying you and to offer his advice or give you treatment. I have also had experiences in the past were I have been rushed out of the doctor’s room and it feels awful.
Simply put, I really enjoy going to see my doctor.
