    Pleasant, now- condescending. He did not make me feel rushed and he made very sure any questions I had were answered, going as far as to say if I think of anything else I didn't ask, to just give a call.

    Charles Crellin is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. Without his skill level I do not feel my recovery would be moving along as well as it has. I would have chosen Excellent if it had been available. From insisting on doing surgery within 24 hours of hip fracture.
