Dr. Crabtree is seriously talented, and genuinely wants to use his knowledge and skills to help you

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.
