"I heard about Dr. Crookes through the Orthopedic surgeon who had done both my knee replacements at USC University Hospital.After getting an appointment and going to it he said that he would do my surgery and ordered a variety of tests that i needed to have.My surgery is scheduled for October 8,2008.I will be going to see him on the 29th of September for my final pre-op appointments as I have been cleared for the surgery after all the tests he required.He has a fabulous reputation and-having worked in the healthcare field and having had over a dozen other typres of surgery in the past-I was greatly impressed with his knowledge and caring manner.I am counting the days until the surgery!rnrnWell they moved up my surgery date to October 3rd.So I will be off to Los Angeles to begin this great adventure, and will write more when I return home. rnI got home rrom the hospital on Oct. 8th and I have to say that the fantastic care I received from Dr Crookes was more than I could ever have hoped for.He is so kind,caring,compassionate-along with being a brilliant surgeon who really makes you feel that he is interested in your well being.rnrnHis nurse Mary Eddy is an absolute angel in every way.Really going the extra mile to make sure that everything was coordinated and that when I got home and needed the slightest thing she was there for me as a great nurse and a resource to get all my needs speedily met. I cannot thank her enough!"
