Have been a patient for 22 years with the Doctor I appreciate having one Doctor that knows the health of my eyes and has cared for the health of my eyes! Having had several elected and some needed surgeries over the years, I cound not be more pleased! The office staff are very competent in assisting with insurance and scheduling, streamlining the whole experience. Before finding Dr. Crowley I had been to several local doctors where we spent half the day in waiting rooms only to be seen by several med. students practicing on my families eyes, to be seen for a few minutes by the advertised doctor....no thank you.

Dr Croley is such an honest Christian doctor you can trust. Has had many second opinions come to him who said they needed cataract surgery when they did NOT. Is so sad other doctors taking advantage of elderly. So please see Dr Croley first. I wasn’t pushed into needing anything other than him saying keep using eye drops for my dry eye and I have very slight cataracts that do not need correcting yet or at all. More
