Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- September 21, 2023 My first visit with Dr. Crisp. We had a good interaction and he did well listening and asking questions.
- September 18, 2023 Dr. Crisp was actually on his time off and evidently a mix up of his schedule. He came in and apologized for being late, but he was kind and didn't seem to be bothered that he had to come in. He asked Phillip (he goes by Craig) questions that gave him some basic information as to what Craig could answer and what he depended on me to answer. He also asked me questions. By the time our visit was ending, we felt we had known him for a long time. We definitely like his mannerism and his professionalism.

- May 9, 2023 He was very soft-spoken and soothing for anyone anxious about their healthcare. He is working hard to help me relieve my issues and get to the bottom of the problem. I have been searching for years for answers. Doctors in my area seem so over-worked that they rush me in and out.
