Alyssa Crawford Md's Online Review Report Card

Knocked off 3 stars for 3 reasons: 1) absolutely disorganized 2) She does not practice consent. I felt extremely violated after one incident in the office: I was having a procedure done, and had my knees up, legs completely open towards the (closed) door, and she told an assistant to come in without asking me first. The assistant walked in and out a couple times while I was completely exposed. She then asked in front of the assistant if I was okay with her looking at my cervix through the microscope to learn. The assistant was already standing between my legs, so I didn't really have a choice. I have a history of sexual assault, and this office visit deeply upset me for weeks. I cried as soon as I got back in my car afterwards. This was the day that I decided I would switch providers once my issue was resolved. 3) Dr. Crawford does not respect a patient's decision to not have children. Every time I have mentioned that my husband and I do not intend on having children, she has asked "Are you really sure? You won't change your mind?" and did not accept the simple answer of "we don't want them" until I have a made satisfactory answer for her. She has also told me stories of talking patients out of getting abortions. Having a child is a deeply personal decision that should have no outside influence. Your doctor (ESPECIALLY your OBGYN) should support whatever decision you have personally come to, and respect the family you want to have. For someone whose job is helping with family planning, she sure doesn't respect your family plan. I've given her two stars instead of one because she did explain the procedures and issues I was having well, and I understood the course of treatment that was expected of me. This is the only positive I wil give her.
