Dr Crockett has been our family physician for a few years now. He is super chill and brutally honest. I kinda need. Lol. He has always been kind and very serious about his staff making sure your meds are on time.. also his long time nurse is wonderful. Most recently I had a UTI and he made it most comfortable for me to get meds and get on with it. I fear Drs Like this are few. So if you can get him, get him. read more

Dr Crockett has been my OBGYN for a decade now. He also delivered my daughter. I would highly recommend he is very patient, professional, and kind doctor. I feel very comfortable asking him questions. read more

Dr Crockett himself has given us excellent care for my entire family for over 30 years. He could not be rated higher for his knowledge and compassion and how he has taken care of my family. However........... Every time a lab test is done, the office does not put in the appropriate diagnosis which generates a big bill from lab corp. Dr. Crocket would get right on correcting this if he knew, but I can't get to him anymore. I spend hours every time this happens just trying to reach the actual Doctors office. Today has been 45 minutes without any resolution or contact. No one can tell me how to reach his office directly, I guess its a secret. You just get routed in circles. I now have to wait for a call, if that ever happens, but can't give up or I will have to pay this big lab bill. The system for a John Muir doctor is the worse I have seen. I gave a 3 rating because i think so highly of Dr. Crockett and his knowledge and care. Otherwise is would have been a one. read more

I hope he never retires!! Dr. Crockett is one of the few remaining Dr's who was "raised right" and doing it for all the right reasons! Since delivering my daughter in 1995 I have continued to see him and no matter what the problem, he has always had the knowledge and wonderful bedside manner to go with it! Dr Crockett always makes you feel valued and sincerely listens to you without making you feel like cattle being moved along waiting for the next. Never without a smile and regardless of the situation, I walk out of his office feeling like I'm definitely in the best hands and Sonja his assistant is simply the best!...I'd give 10 stars if they had it! read more

Good Dr. for the most part. He has ordered wrong medication that was sent to my house without me knowing then they expected me to pay a bill. The management is absolutely horrific. They lied about several cost issues and never get back to you. They need new management that actually care about the patient and not just sucking all the money and lying about it. Will make sure I tell everyone I know about my experience. Be cautious if you go here, or just don't go to any John Muir Dr.'s. Money sucking places that don't care about you. read more

Very good doctor and kind, too. In my opinion, he's one of the best doctors out there. He took care of me during pregnancy, delivered my baby, and cared for my baby for a year. To bad we had to move to Texas. All in all...I recommend Dr Crockett. read more

Dr Crocket has relocated to Treat Blvd in Walnut Creek at the John Muir Medical Center. The process of registering and paying downstairs is much more streamline. It was a vastly different experience compared to his old office. No wait times for me. I've been going to Dr Crockett for about a year. I was skeptical of the glowing reviews on here. It turns out they were on point. I love Dr Crocket because: 1) He's an incredibly experienced practitioner with a wealth of knowledge. He seems to value holistic health, not just physical ailments. 2) He listens, a quality often undervalued in the medical profession. He is not in any way arrogant. He seems like a genuinely kind and compassionate human being who enjoys helping people. 3) He's so professional, always making your feel comfortable even when you're there for an 'embarrassing' aliment. As is his nurse Sonia. 4) He's open minded to alternative methods. I sincerely hope that he doesn't retire any time soon. It's so hard to find a Primary Care physician that you trust and feel comfortable with. Dr Crockett is one of those exceptional doctors that are so hard to find. read more

I love Dr. Crockett. He's taken such good care of me throughout my pregnancy and delivery that i switched him to my PCP after postpartum. My husband even loves him so much he started seeing him as well. He always takes time to listen, even if you feel like you sound crazy. His compassion and bedside manner are impeccable, even for this first time mom that literally asked wtf was going on with my body every time i saw him while pregnant. Two and a half years later and I actually enjoy going to see him and his MA Sonia and don't dread appointments or checkups. I will continue to be a patient until he retires :) read more

I wish I could review Dr. Crockett separately from his office staff. Him I love and nurse Sonia I love. However, I have had a great amount of difficulty dealing with the front office. New prescriptions have been promised and not called in, emails and phone calls to the office have gone unanswered. And they often try to rush me off the phone when I might have more than one question plus they often seem hot to get me to come in when maybe my issue could be handled over the phone. I just get the sense that they really are more concerned about my co-pay than they are about actually addressing my concerns. Dr. Crockett himself is great. He first treated me six years ago at John Muir in WC after I was involved in a car accident when I was 8 months pregnant. When I switched away from Kaiser, I looked over the list of doctors and was delighted to see his name on the list. I do feel he really listens to me and knows his stuff, but sometimes his office staff makes getting to him pretty difficult. read more

Dr. Crockett is a great physician that knows woman's health. He is easy to speak too and down to earth. I have is a huge advocate for our health. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Crockett for years now, and i couldn't be happier. He is so patient and understanding when you come to him with concerns. And when I have issues that require I get in soon, the staff is really great about trying to get me in last minute. I never have to wait forever in the waiting room, and he is pretty prompt with the appointments he does have sitting in his rooms. The rest of the staff is lovely to work with also. Sonja (the nurse) has been there as long as I can remember, and she is just a pleasure to chat with. She makes me feel so comfortable. read more

I went to Dr. Crockett for weight loss with the HCG diet program he offers. Since I am "older" I didn't want to risk my health and wanted a physican overseeing what was going on. Wow .. I got real interest from Dr Crockett, including preventative suggestions for potential common problems with the HCG diet .. these simple things allowed me to sidestep the problems. The Doc is friendly and easy going, and really does watch how you do .... I lost 15 lbs in the first few weeks, and with what i learned I am now down about 25 lbs total in four months. The office is unpretentious and the fees are really reasonable (like easy to take). This HCG diet with a physicans guidance is really amazing. The Doc has a blog on the diet at http://www.drcrocketthcg.blogspot.com/ read more

I love Dr. Crockett. He is my ob/gyn and I feel so blessed to have found him. When I was about 4 weeks pregnant I made a random phone call to his office to ask the receptionist a question. It was my first pregnancy and I wasn't quite sure what to do or expect. Dr. Crockett himself got on the phone and talked to me for about 10 minutes -- answered all my questions. I decided if he cared that much about a total stranger, then he would definitely care about me as his patient. I have been comfortable talking to Dr. Crockett about the possibility of post-partum depression among many other very personal things. The few times I have had to call his answering service he has responded very quickly. The staff at Dr. Crockett's office is amazing. They are really there to help and assist. I cannot recommend Dr. Crockett and his staff highly enough. I am 35 weeks pregnant now and look forward to meeting my little monkey. read more

I've had many doctors in the past but by far, Dr. Crockett is the best! He delivered my son, he is also my son's pediatrician, my OBGYN, my Surgeon. An all around Doctor. He is always straight to the point and doesn't waste time chatting away. He is so experienced that you don't need to do a lot of explaining. In any procedures, he tells you the pros and cons and help you make the right decision. If you have any after hour questions, you can just leave a message and he will call you right back with answers. Over all, I would definitely refer him to anyone. Btw, He just recently did a surgery on me and two weeks later, here I am doing well with no complication. Awesome staff as well, Amy, Brandy and Sonya are the best! read more

I came across Dr Crockett around 200 when I had been to a number of dr's who really were just looking to make a buck. Dr. Crockett showed great compassion and was extremely thorough in finding the best suited treatments for each situation. Dr Crockett in 2012 partnered up with Dr Messian where the two specialist worked so hard to figure out a answer to what was a strange and never seen before issue. I had woke with extreme pain and a tummy that looked like I was 6-7 months pregnant. The two did every test imaginable and Dr Crockett with his assistant Sonia personally called a few times a day to check in on me and later took me to surgery. Eventually he found exactly what the issue was and had pulled in every special dr he could to help. I was told I would not be able to get pregnant or that if I did would have trouble carrying to term with my issues. Dr Crockett worked to get me on hormone replacement therapy. Years later in 2017 I found myself pregnant with our baby girl. I knew from his efforts and HUGE heart to help me in the past that I wanted Dr. Crockett once again to help us through this miracle event. I tracked down Dr. Crockett. We learned that our insurance would not be excepted so we changed our coverage in order to be under his care once again. He not only kept all concerns we had at ease but would give multiple suggestions and even gave me referrals for acupuncture and a specialist for the nerve damage I was developing during my pregnancy. Dr. John Crockett is Dr. with much more than knowledge but a heart of gold. Calling and providing his cell phone number for us to call him with concerns so that we may text or call him whenever needed is nothing NO OTHER Dr. has been known to do. We love Dr. Crockett.! He isn't one to give you this run around but a simple straight to the point answer and tools to get the job done. If changing our insurance to get him as our provider after tracking him down doesn't show how GREAT he is then I don't know what does. He is now and will till he retires be both my primary, OBGYN, and our daughter's pediatrician. read more

Dr Crockett is great. He is straight forward and can diagnose the problem in very short order. I feel very comfortable with him as he seems down to earth. I'm a blue collar general contractor and at times I have visited Doctors and they make you feel inferior. I'm tattooed from head to toe and I get judged a lot by my appearance. I found him to listen and be non judge mental and without ego. He seems like he has your best interest at heart. I highly recommend. You can tell it's not all about money for him. He genuinely enjoys practicing medicine. I feel very lucky to have found him as my PCP. read more

Dr. Crockett has been my family's doctor for over a decade. He is an amazing man, who delivered both of my children, my daughter who is 12 and my son who is 4. Through many personal medical difficulties, I have been able to count on Dr. Crockett to be available and apprised of my situations. He also is continuously trying to find new options and therapies for his patients. He is always educating himself on current options for health and skincare. Sonya and Brandi are always available for my questions or needing proof of vaccinations faxed, etc. Thanks to Dr. Crockett! And sorry I kept you from that wedding in Monterey because my baby didn't want to come out! That's for waiting it out with me! Jennifer read more

I am new to the Bay Area and needed to find a new PCP. After calling several practices that weren't accepting new patients, I was pleased to get an appointment with Dr. Crockett. They were able to see me later the same day since they had a cancellation. I arrived 15 minutes early and ended up waiting about 50 minutes to be seen. It was a little annoying, but not dealbreaking. I've definitely had similar waits at other offices when they are busy, so it wasn't too out of the ordinary. The nurse was very nice, and my visit with Dr. Crockett was fine as well. What I am EXTREMELY disappointed about is the complete lack of follow up from this office. Dr. Crockett recommended that I get an MRI - I have had neck problems for several years now that have gotten significantly worse in the previous months. The receptionist said that she would follow up with a referral by the end of the next day. 2 weeks later and I am still waiting for follow-up. I have called the office at least 6 or 7 times now. I was able to get through to the office staff only a couple of those times, and they apologized for being busy and assured me that I would receive follow-up within a couple of days. However, that has not happened yet. Meanwhile, my neck pain is steadily getting worse... I don't necessarily have any problems with Dr. Crockett, but the lack of follow-up from his office staff is enough to prevent me from wanting to go back to his practice. I was considering making him my primary care physician in the future. read more

This review is long overdue (a few years in fact) but I think other people should know what level of care to expect from this doctor. When I was 18 years old living in my new college town I came to Dr. Crocket for a bartholin's cyst and ongoing severe menstruation/pelvic pain. The Dr. pushed on the cyst and told me it would pop on its own (it should have been incised and drained I later learned). I asked him if we could run some tests regarding my incredibly painful and heavy periods but he told me this was normal. I told him that I had pain all of the time. I asked if he could educate me on different forms of birth control to help me regulate my period. He told me to USE CONDOMS.... I told him I was not having sex and that I am concerned about my period. He again told me to use condoms. I asked him if the Mirena IUD might be a good option for me as I had a friend who used it to regulate her painful periods. He told me that my cervix was too small for an IUD and that I would not be able to have an IUD inserted until after I'd had children. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. The doctor 1) did not even look at my cervix or give me an internal examination 2) the statement about cervix size is a myth! The doctor made me feel uncomfortable about talking about my health issues. He made me feel dirty as if I was asking for birth control for sex reasons which also should have been fine because he's a doctor and should only give me sound medical advice rather than lie to me about my own body. He shamed me even though I was still a virgin and in severe pain everyday. I felt awful and I worried about approaching this subject with another doctor. I went to see another healthcare professional. She told me that the information he gave me about IUDs was false. I got an IUD inserted and have had it for years now with absolutely no problems. ALSO I have now been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and severe Endometriosis. Which explained all of my severe pain. If I had a doctor years ago who was honest with me and who cared about my health I wouldn't have suffered in pain for this long. I am now in the midst of scheduling surgeries I could have taken care of at 18 years old. I don't know why Dr. Crocket felt that his traditional views on sex, birth control, etc have any place in a doctor's office. I was so young and scared and I am saddened now to think about the girls who've gone through his office and have felt shamed by him as well, just for seeking medical help. Shame on YOU Dr. Crocket! read more

Upon switching jobs (and thus health care providers), my wife selected Dr. Crockett as her OB after doing some research online. When my wife became pregnant, that little bit of research really paid off. Aside from being a great doctor, Dr. Crockett is very personable and informative. He took the time to patiently answer all of the questions my wife and I had during our appointments. He reads the latest research, and incorporates that information into his practice, and advised of of the latest findings as it related to our inquiries. His staff are very friendly, and did their best to accommodate my work schedule, which required several cancel/rebooks. Despite being a very busy office, wait times were very short, testament to a well-run office. Additionally, they took great care to ensure our prescriptions were handled before we left the office. Finally, Crockett was there for delivery, and once again handled everything expertly, answered our questions, and followed up in-person several times after the C-section. Dr. Crockett was my wife's OB. Now he's her OB, and our pediatrician. read more

If you are looking for a knowledgeable doctor to trust with yourself/family then Dr. Crockett is who you want! He delivered my husband as well as my twins. He has the patience and experience that many younger doctors lack. We unfortunately had to change doctors as my husbands new insurance doesn't cover him. The saying ''You never know what you have until its gone" is forever echoing in my mind. With that being said, if you're fortunate enough to have your insurance cover him, trust me and go with him! PS we also miss Brandy!! read more

I see Dr. Crockett for my OB/GYN stuff. He delivered my first child without complication. I find him to be a lovely gentleman with a great bedside manner. If you are looking for that Dr. that informs you of all the possible side effects, what you should be experiencing in such and such month during pregnancy, this is not your guy. He is super laid back and the only time you're gonna get a rise out of him is if something is wrong. In which case he is fabulous! Only drawback is the inability to effectively communicate lab results. Really poor, in my opinion. I had "abnormal pap smears" for 2+ years that were actually collection problems on their end. I went from "needing cervical surgery" to "everything's fine, see ya in a year" within a 3 month time frame. I went through my records the last time I was in only to discover these pap-smears weren't 'abnormal' they were just operator error. Really upsetting but, I still love the guy. read more

Best doctor I have ever been to. He is a true gem and sees our whole family. My delivery with my daughter (not in California or seeing him yet) was excruciating. Labor for over 24 hours, pushing for at least 12. Fast forward to my son. Labor for 12 hours. Pushing for less than one. Most amazing experience of my life! He is always on call to answer any emergency we ever need. Makes our whole family comfortable including my 5 year old daughter. Anything we need he is extremely quick to always respond with very helpful information. Always knows what the problem is the first time also. I can only hope he doesn't retire soon! read more

Very frustrated...due to a change with my insurance I had to find a PCP doctor. Last Tuesday I saw Dr Crockett for pain on my right heel. He requested an X-ray that I had gotten done the same day. He indicated that if I did not hear from him by Thursday to call him. Since last week I have left 4 messages with his exchange who tells me that they are short staffed. Not my problem, their office closes at noon on Friday's so why does the doctor not make his follow-up calls at that time? Still waiting to get my results... read more

order wrong blood work twice and claimed the insurance without provide my results! Will never back again

Not the right doctor for me! When you have experienced a fabulous doctor (Dr. Anita Rama) no one else comes close. Dr. C has too many things going on, skin laser, adolescence patients and ob/gyn. After going there for 4 months, I have noticed he never had my chart, always coming in a "NOTE PAD"! I would NOT recommend him. read more

I have been under Dr. Crockett's care for 19 years. He has the best demeanor and really cares for his patients. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer he was able to direct us to a general surgeon that had me seen and surgery done before the"popular Dr." could even get me an consult appt. He is what I would refer to as a good old fashion DR. He has a lovely nurse Sonia who has been there with him for many years and I love that she takes the time to "chat" while checking me in. If you are in need of a doctor that can be there for any need that you may have Dr. Crockett is that Doctor. There are many names to choose from out there but I will be with him until he retires..(which better be never) In fact my children that he delivered have now made him their doctor too! read more

I've been going to Dr. Crockett for a few years now, for both ob/gyn and family physician type stuff. I've had doctors that run the gamut... pushy health-mongers that glower at you when you admit that you drink, all the way to the laissez-faire types that barely look at you while they're talking to you and send you on your merry way with scrips that you didn't even ask for. Dr. Crockett runs a happy median. He's an older fellow, on the zaftig side, with a good sense of humor and a trustworthy manner. The office consists of just him, so it can be a little busy in the afternoons, but I have found morning appointments to be quick and easy-I'm often in before my appointment time and out within ten minutes. I have had problems getting notified of test results, and there is often a sense of general confusion amongst the office staff, but they are a friendly bunch, and easy to work with. Nothing snarky or rude about them. Overall, if you're looking for a laid-back doc with a lot of experience and a good demeanor, you can't go wrong with Dr. C! read more

Dr. Crockett is by far the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever had the privilege to see. He takes his time, listens to his patients, answers questions, and offers treatment options that are helpful. We have seen him as a family off and on for nearly 15 years, only ever switching due to insurance changes. He's the best!! read more

If I could rate Dr Crockett alone, I would give him 5 stars. He is caring and really makes you feel like you have all his attention, and that he is not rushed to his next patient. His front office on the other hand needs to be replaced! They are rude and lack follow up. I waited 3 months for a phone call about a pre authorization from my insurance (who I called a few weeks ago and they told me they never even recieved it from the Dr's office). I was so disappointed I ended up visiting another dr for the procedure. If you can get over the disorganized and rude front staff, Dr. Crockett is great. read more

Pros: 1. easy to get an appointment for same day (once your call gets through that's if your lucky) 2. short wait time in lobby/patient room 3. The Doctor does have years of experience in OBGYN and in family practice , he is polite to patients. Cons: 1. Beware of billing (when the staff uses wrong codes in billing to your insurance they take weeks to months to correct their mistake.)FYI: I'm still waiting for my bill to be corrected.... 2.Staff delays to return calls or even hard to get a phone call through 3.Staff doesn't greet you when you walk in or even standing to be checked in.. I've experienced better service from other doctors and staff. until my billing issue gets resolved I will update this review. Until then I've got myself a backup doctor with much more friendlier and efficient staff. read more

Worst doctors visits I have ever had. 1st patient appointment I showed up to a closed office. The doctor had taken a vacation and I was not called to reschedule or be notified. They have a patient portal email system and I wasn't notified via email either. Assuming this could be the incompetence of one individual I attempted to reschedule when the office opened the following Monday. The Dr. worked with my schedule and saw me after I got off of work. He does not have an Ultrasound machine in his office, just a doppler to listen to the heart beat. He did a quick exam and went on to tell me to only eat organic foods, and keep routers out of my bedroom and cell phones away from my body because they cause autism. I was a little put off by some of his suggestions but over all the visit was okay. For my second appointment I was scheduled at 8:30 and he was still not at the office at 9 and was in surgery (not an emergency surgery either mind you.) I walked out of the office and I refuse to ever be seen by them again. The incompetence of the staff, lack of medical equipment and the physician himself are the lowest rank of the field. read more

Dr Crockett is always kind and knowledgable. His front office staff is professional and courteous. He always is on time, and I feel very comfortable with him. He treats a wide variety of medical issues. I would recommend him highly. read more

Dr. Crockett is awesome! He is our family doctor, which includes me, my husband, our 2 year old son, and brand new daughter. He was my OB and delivered my daughter as well. (Delivered at John Muir - also amazing!) I love love that he is all-in-one, it makes it so nice to be able to see him for all our usual appointments. He is incredibly kind and patient. It's usually a quick in and out appointment, but if I have a question or concern, he immediately sets everything down, pulls up a chair, and listens intently. Definitely the best doctor I've ever had. I would recommend him to anyone in the area. read more

My experience with doctor was great and his staff was kind and attentive while there. What left me with a negative vibe, was the manner a which his staff followed up with me on a subject that needed prompt attention and a little research. Being lied to about receiving return correspondence was a deal breaker. read more

We've been seeing Dr. Crockett for over 9 years. He delivered the last 2 of my 4 children and is our family doctor as well. In addition to his kindness, I love how passionate he is about medicine. He's always learning more, and studying the latest in medicine. He consistently listens to my concerns. Even when I have a list of questions on hand, he never seems rushed. And he responds quickly whenever I have called in. I remember when I delivered at John Muir hospital- when the nurses would hear that Dr. Crockett was my doctor, they always said-- "he is the NICEST man." These are nurses not working for him, but with him. We feel so fortunate to have a doctor that knows and cares about our family. Oh ya, and how awesome is it that I can go to my family doctor for laser hair removal! :) read more

upgrade it to another star cause Dr. Crockett sent me a personal handwritten note apologies for the visit along with $10 for my dry cleaning comment earlier. You may not get me as a patient.. but I do respect your follow-thru! Who knew you would read the review! Thanks for the note! read more

Dr Crockett has been seeing me since I was born. He delivered me, 26 years ago, my brother 23, and my sister 15 years ago. My parents still see him, as do I. He has been awesome. I never have a problem getting an appointment. I am more of a fine nothing wrong with me, then wham... strep throat have to be in tomorrow kinda patient. The office staff is super friendly, especially nurse Sonia. I would totally recommend him to anyone. Sweet older guy that actually listens to all my neurotic questions, and trust me I bring a list everything I go. read more

Dr Crockett is an outstanding MD with years of experience. Full of empathy, concern, and willingness to do whatever it takes to keep you as healthy and comfortable as possible. read more

Dr Crockett is the best. So good at what he does that I as a cash paying customer, which isn't easy, have been coming to him for years. His plethora of knowledge and expertise are refreshing. I feel like I could ask him anything. He has always truly listened to me as a patient and stayed in tune with my needs as they have fluctuated. I am thankful to have came across his office and no matter where I live in the east bay I intend to keep him as my primary, specialist, all the things. Highly recommend. read more
