Curtis N. Crane's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Crane performed very complex surgery for me (in Austin, TX) and did an excellent job. The care I received from him and his team was exceptional. Dr. Crane also has a great bedside manner. It was very easy to communicate with his office and I received lots of follow up after my surgery.

My experience with Dr. Crane was very good. I had facial feminization surgery with him and Dr. Andrew Trussler, and it went very well. The recovery was a bit rough and scary (though within what I expected after such a thing), but his staff were incredibly receptive and quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. Having my questions quickly answered really helped me relax and feel better through the recovery process.

I am a transgender man and had bottom surgery with Dr Crane in the fall of 2019. My approach was this, I attended Philly Trans Wellness conference and listened to a few surgeons speak. I followed up with Dr Crane and booked with him. I was aware of the negative reviews only after I booked and did have concerns but still trusted my instincts . I trusted his experience as a surgeon for bottom surgery, I trusted him as a person and felt he genuinely cares for the transgender community. He does offer suggestions but I am stubborn once my mind is made up and I know where my limits are. I always take a minimum of 4 months before to prepare my body for surgery and make sure I have researched every complication that can occur and what my game plan to deal with it is. Yes I did have my share of post surgical complications straight out of the gate with bottom surgery but I had constant support from the team at the Crane Centre. At any point the nurses (who are in direct contact with Crane) were an email away. Which helped during some very scary moments where I was in extreme pain dealing with post surgical complications even after I returned back home a month after surgery my emails with concerns were answered .Surgery is not new to many of us. I personally at a hospital in my hometown have been treated like less than human when I needed serious life saving medical assistance. I understand how painful that experience can be so I am on guard for that but Dr.Crane and his team did their part, were supportive and gave me the best treatment I have ever received at a medical center and for that I am truly grateful.

I've read on this Doctor, he needs to be in jail and no where near an operating room.

I had a fairly simple procedure (breast augmentation) with Dr. Crane and it was a very, very disastrous experience, it not only caused cosmetic damage to my body but also hurt me psychologically, I am afraid of another surgery, I met crane because I was going to have a procedure with Dr. Ashley de Leon, I was always interested in a breast augmentation because I am a transgender girl and although my boobs were growing with hormones, I do not know when I made the bad decision to do my breast augmentation with crane, I think that because the opportunity was given and I did not think that he was a bad surgeon. saw dr crane, I got with the vision of what I wanted with a fixed mind and sure but Curtis crane opposed what I wanted the form and type of procedure I was looking for saline implants, not for cheap but for several factors that I consider to be safer, he opposed and said that silocona were better. I was looking for an axillary incision and he it was closed to an incision under the breast, I also wanted submuscular and he also decided to make it subglandular and I made the worst mistake of doing what he advised me thinking that making things easier for him would be a better result for me and it was my worst decision because At the time he did not want to do what I was looking for, I would have decided not to have surgery with him and continue looking for that goal elsewhere but I didn't imagine he was such a bad surgeon ...I would have liked to read a comment like this before but I did not investigate very well because if you google negligence of Curtis cranes, many documents of negligence of curtis cranes will appear. I'm not saying that he can be mean to you, maybe he doesn't like me and that's why he did things wrong. but fence professionalism. please do your research ... because it is wrong that there are surgeons who sell themselves as high quality surgeons being terrible, taking advantage of the illusion us have . Austin Crane Center has a great team just need a good leader n other name because Curtis Crane is a surgeon's joke, my respects to dr. Ashley de Leon with whom I also had a procedure and we understood each other so well, she was the one who always arrived before each surgery. I have a lot of money and I like to pay just enough for a good job. If He had done a good job, my descriptions was different, but now as a blogger I have to warn other trans people that he only cuts and cuts does not mark, like other surgeons who even measure and draw the breast pouch, I guess because He thinks he is a good surgeon, he does it by calculation and that is why he made me a bigger bag than another ... He made me a big bag where the implant was loose and another where so tight the weight was stretched my nipple all over for not measuring, he never approached me before or after the surgery I saw him until the post, he told me! that because of the inflammation breasts were uneven lol and the worst thing is that he does not recognize an error He wanted that I wait 6 months while my skin and my nipple were incorrectly stretched to the contrary than I would if the implants had been placed correctly ... at one point I even thought that He just wanted me to look ugly because my breasts were very beautiful, 2 year on prescription hormones and 2 years of self-medicating made my breasts look very feminine they were similar, I did not have asymmetries, I am a dancer, all the people told me that I was going to have surgery if my breasts were beautiful and kept growing but I wanted more and I ended up worse than when I started my hormones, all because of wanting a little more and not looking for a good surgeon who knows how to do breast augmentation. to measure before making the bag, a surgeon who knows that the most important part to mark is the bottom and that it is exactly the same to avoid asymmetries. but well, as I say, it is a matter of logic, I do not understand what goes through this man's head (crane)

He is a very bad surgeon, he does not know how to do a breast augmentation, I lost 10k and it was one of the worst experiences of my life

Dr. Crane is the best surgeon! He is wonderful with his patients and treats his staff with respect. People don’t seem to like him because of a couple lawsuits. All of which he WON because none of them were actually good enough reasons to sue over. And also the majority of surgeons have lawsuits anyways. Dr. Crane preformed 5 surgeries on me and I knew I was in the best of care each and every time. 100% recommend him.

This surgeon has multiple lawsuits, was banned from San Fran for med mal. Don’t take my world for it google Dr Curtis Crane medical malpractice cases. I had surgery with him and in my opinion I wouldn’t let him operate on a squirrel.

This Dr. Crane has so many medical malpractice cases he got kicked out of California. My daughter almost had surgery with him until a friend showed me his cases, probably saved her life.

Read about his medical malpractice cases I believe it's over a dozen now
