      Dr. Crum is definitely the most knowledgeable and skilled optometrist I have ever known. I have had vision problems for years, and my correction is about as complex as it can be. She showed determination to get my vision to 20/20 in a situation where most providers would have given up and persuaded me to settle for mediocre vision.

      Dr. Crum is a very professional and takes the time to explain the test that she preforms. She is very articulate and caring. She takes the time to answer all my concerns and calms my concerns by explaining her findings in detail. She spends more time with me explaining her finding then my general practitioner. Dr. Crum is wonderful. +++
