I absolutely love Gretchen! She truly listened to me, took the time to be fully present, and worked with me to come up with solutions. I’ve been dealing with some ailments for a very long time, and after this appointment, I finally feel hopeful that I’ll get some real relief.
She came highly recommended by another NP, which already spoke volumes about her reputation in the community—and now I completely understand why. Gretchen made me feel comfortable right away, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made the whole experience feel personal, like I had known her for years.
I genuinely look forward to my next appointment and am excited about the potential for new results thanks to Gretchen, her knowledge, and her creative, holistic approach to care.

I don’t even know where to start from the moment I first met Gretchen. She could tell she was caring, loving, and intelligent. And her staff are amazing as well. I went in crying and came out with a smile on my face. Thank you, Dr Gretchen and your staff for being there for me today and hopefully they’ll be better days ahead

Gretchen Crawford is a fantastic provider. She was able to see me on short notice and allowed plenty of time to go over my issue and give me a thorough exam. I felt like I was in very good hands. And her support staff is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this practice.

Gretchen Crawford is very kind. She actually hears everything I say & has always gone above & beyond when it comes to making sure I understand exactly what my diagnosis is, what my treatment/care plan is going to be, what medication(s) she will sending to my pharmacy & how said medication(s) will affect me/my ailments. Never have I felt rushed during any of my appointments w/ her. She is VERY present while leaning in & looking directly @ you during any appt no matter in-person or vurtual. She truly does care about all of us, (her patients) our wellbeing, & our quality of life. I wish way more providers out there were @ least 1/2 as thorough, kind compassionate, caring, trustworthy, gentle, etc as Gretchen is. She is such a huge breath of fresh air for sure!!!! Hands down 10 outta 10 on any & all metrics out there. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this absolute gem of human being. ??

It has taken me years to find someone who listens and understands autoimmune problems. I can't remember when I've been treated so well!
January 19, 2026Sherry S.Verified patient
I feel very fortunate to have found Gretchen Crawford. From practically the moment I walked into the office I was greeted and introductions were made. They were professional and friendly. Very happy with exam/evaluation. Was prescribed rx and waiting to see effects. Gretchen patiently explained condition and I went away informed and educated. That alone made this a very worthwhile appointment.
January 16, 2026Susanne C.Verified patient
Gretchen was warm and listened to my needs. She was helpful and asked appropriate questions to reach her assessment. Gretchen explained the medication that she prescribed & reached out after the appointment to keep me updated explaining that the pharmacy was closed but the order had been submitted. I was very pleased with her care and would not hesitate to recommend her.

I’ve never felt as safe and important as I do with Gretchen. She’s so knowledgeable and really listens to her patients. Living with a chronic disease is a lot less overwhelming when she explains each step and is truly invested in helping me as a person not just a patient. I could not recommend her enough and am so grateful I found her.

After feeling bad for 5 years, and a positive ANA test, I was referred with all my medical history and labs. I was thoroughly examined and finally given a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis with a lupus overlap. The other rheumatologist I saw never even examined me or answered my questions. The nurse practitioner, Gretchen, assessed my understanding and anticipated symptoms like fatigue, stiffness at the end of the day, and spent time helping to come up with medical and non medical things to do. I was initially depressed and sad to find out l have an autoimmune disease, but now I know what it is, and see a path forward. My mental health has improved now that my family now understands I have a serious, but manageable condition. I am thankful for the thoughtful Providers and MA’s who are with me on this journey.
