Thomas Crabtree, MD, FACS (retired)

Dr Crabtree was fantastic. I felt very comfortable with him. He was very knowledgeable and patient, happy to explain everything and answer any questions. I felt incredibly supported during all stages of the process.

I was also very pleased with the results. Exactly what I wanted. Perfection.

Dr. Crabtree is a very caring plastic surgeon. A humanitarian. Read his bio. http://crabtreeplasticsurgery.com/about-dr-crabtree/

He is one of the VERY few plastic surgeons that take Medicare and Military insurance for breast reduction in Hawaii.


My experience with him and his staff for my breast reduction was superior.
His staff, his nurse Vicky are very helpful, professional and kind. I had to cancel surgery 2 times due to unexpected emergencies and rescheduling was no problem. Dr. Crabtree takes lots of pride in his work and my new breasts look amazing! Very even, full C cup, youthful and very natural looking. He has a lot of experience in this procedure. He makes you feel comfortable and is very personable and will answer all your questions. I highly recommend him.

Excellent experience! From checking in, to consultation, to surgery day and follow-up! Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Crabtree and his staff! When I went back for my re-check, you should have seen the smile on Dr. Crabtree’s face! That was the biggest boost for me! I knew I had done the right thing! Never felt apprehensive about anything! Looking forward to future needs!

I saw Dr. Crabtree to explant (remove) my breast implants with total capsulectomy. He explained everything in detail as to what the surgery entailed. He was very professional and I felt comfortable and safe with him doing the procedure. The surgery was done at Castle Surgery Center where I was taken great care of. Dr. Crabtree did an excellent job and I am super happy with my healing and outcome. I highly recommend him.

If you are looking for a WONDERFUL doctor, professional with a caring bedside manner, who is conveniently located on the Windward side of O`ahu... Look no further. I honestly can?t think of anything negative to say about my experience with Dr. Crabtree and his staff. They immediately made me feel at ease, adjusted to fit my schedule (as I had a limited time in which to do my procedure due to my work) and spent the time to address my concerns/answer all my questions.
I feel so blessed because honestly, I found him online after reading reviews. I knew nothing about him previously, but after just one meeting, knew he was the one who would take care of me. How did I luck out? Being on the Windward side in a convenient location with lots of free parking while offering a military discount were just side bonuses.
With complete confidence, I recommend Dr. Crabtree.

I'm relatively young at 26, so most people would think excess and sagging skin would be a nonissue, but with being morbidly obese nearly all my life and going from over 400 pounds to under 200, it was a huge problem that was stopping me from living a normal life. I knew I would want multiple surgeries to work on different parts of my body, and I thought it would be best to find one surgeon I really felt comfortable with and confident in that I could stick with. I consulted with quite a few plastic surgeons on the island, but ultimately I had my first surgery, a fleur-de-lis panniculectomy, with Dr. Crabtree. It's an understatement for me to say that I am incredibly pleased with what Dr. Crabtree has done for me and that I would love to continue with him as my surgeon for future procedures. I'm 3 months post-op and we just started talking about my next surgery, which I am very excited for.

I could write about how great Dr. Crabtree is for days. Dr. Crabtree's bedside manner really is amazing and comforting. He is so personable and empathetic - he truly gives off the impression that he wants to help you, which I did not get with the other plastic surgeons I consulted. Some gave a businessman type of vibe, and others just seemed to be doing their job without much passion. And most importantly, Dr. Crabtree has the knowledge and experience to be able to help you. The first plastic surgeon I consulted, who is really highly-rated here, didn't feel comfortable doing my panniculectomy and said that he had only ever worked on one similar case and thought my hanging skin around the abdominal area was one of the most severe cases that would be worked on in Hawaii. He gave me the names of a couple plastic surgeons he thought I should contact, and raved about Dr. Crabtree. When I did have my consultation with Dr. Crabtree, I expected him to have reservations about working on me, as a few other plastic surgeons did. I was so surprised when he didn't seem phased at all, and was completely confident and knew exactly what he could do for me and what would give me the best results. He was so right in his judgments. I found his cost very fair, as well. His office accepts insurance which I find generous, and they will fight for you to get procedures covered if insurance covers it and it's reasonable for you.

Dr. Crabtree and his staff make it well-known that they are available and there for you, and really care for your well-being. He has seriously changed my life for the better, and I am so grateful to have found him and his staff.

Dr.Crabtree did a truly wonderful job and walked me through every step, making sure I was always comfortable and in the know. He is very professional and considerate. He helped me get my ftm surgery covered by insurance, and made the scariest event in my life as painless as possible. A week after the procedure, and I'm already well on my way to having my mobility back, and a quality of life that I would never have had without Dr.Crabtree. Even with my larger body size, my chest is both flat and proportionate to my body. The lipo he performed on my sides to get rid of breast tissue totally transformed my body in a way that I didn't even know was possible, and has helped me feel very body-positive and motivated to get in better shape. I feel very fortunate to have had such a great experience in my own town.

The hospital staff at Castle was also extremely wonderful, and comforted me before the procedure very well. Without the support and kindness of this practice, I would be far worse off. I would highly recommend anyone, even from off-island, to get your gender reconstructing surgery done by Crabtree. I only had a few relatively short visits with him, which made it quick and painless to prepare pre-op, and to check in post-op. In the unlikely event that I were to ever want another plastic procedure done, I would definitely trust Crabtree to do a great job.

My experience with Dr Crabtree and his nurse Vicky was exceptional. From my first consultation till my surgery which was a tummy tuck and a breast reduction the professionalism, kindness and sincere caring was again exceptional. Dr Crabtree has made this journey in my a comforting and easy process. Now I’m loving my results and can’t wait for the finish line.

Dr. Crabtree was and is fantastic!! I had a lower body lift and my result are amazing. I did develop a seroma and Dr. Crabtree was there for me, treating me appropriately. His incisions are very advanced. I'm definitely going to him for the rest of my surgeries.

Dr. Crabtree, Vicki, and staff are incredible. Throughout the process (from consultation through surgery and follow up), they were attentive to my concerns and always available to answer every question I had. The professionalism and level of care displayed is simply unmatched. Utilizing the Vaser Liposuction procedure on my thighs, Dr. Crabtree was able to make one discreetly placed incision on the back of each thigh while still crafting marvelous results for both my inner and outer thigh regions. One week removed and I am extremely pleased with his work. Not only is he an expert in this field, but a caring doctor as well. The following day after surgery, I received a beautiful flower bouquet from his office. I can’t wait for my total results to shine thru. This experience and my interactions with Dr. Crabtree has been tremendously positive and is a true testament to the level of training and expertise he has acquired over the years. Thank you Dr. Crabtree and staff for changing my life!
