Peace of mind is what so many patients like about Dr. Crutchfield.

When you’re told that surgery is probably necessary, your mind races with questions. You become concerned, often preoccupied. Your friends and loved ones worry, as well. This is when you want a board-certified surgeon who relies on surgery as a last resort. A surgeon like Jay M. Crutchfield, MD, FACS.

Dr. Crutchfield does something you may not expect from a surgeon: He always explores every conservative, nonsurgical option first. If your problem can be remedied with medication, a change in diet or lifestyle or a nonsurgical procedure, Dr. Crutchfield explores these solutions with you and your primary-care physician first.

He also offers a genuine concern for your emotional well-being. He spends the time to explain his findings and your treatment options. His ability to understand your concerns and ease your fears can make the experience a positive one for both you and your loved ones.

That’s compassionate care from a surgeon who explores all nonsurgical treatments first. Small wonder that 90% of his new patients are sent to him by doctors in and around Prescott. In fact, many area doctors not only send friends and family members to him but also use Dr. Crutchfield themselves when in need of surgery.
