John A Crockett, MD

Dr Crockett has been my personal Dr for over 30 years and is my families Dr. He and his staff have always gone above and beyond to take care of us. I always feel like we are in good hands.

Reading Val L”s review of Dr. Crocket made my YEAR! Can you say Karma? How wonderful her mental state brought her to the depths of contemplating anti depressants and her poor daughter being STRESSED OUT at SUCH a young age!!! It makes me SO RELIEVED to know the guilt and all finally brought her to the wonderful Dr. Crocket who helped her. On the other hand, he charged ME $ 600.00 for botox when I was being robbed blind by my sister and was near homelessness! Yes, botox is THAT important to me, it’s what landed me a multi millionaire today so my priorities were really in order. Glad he was able to help the girl below, because I feel like he jipped me! Who charges THAT much for THIRTY units of botox?

I could very well go on and on about his excellent care and attention to detail over the last 14 years we’ve seen Dr. Crockett. My family and I are crazy Vegans who fly in the face of his meds and he takes it all in stride remembering our values and prescribing accordingly. That’s what great doctors do. But Dr. Crockett has over the years become someone I turn to for more than that. I’ve thrown some things at him within the medical realm like: my life falling apart, should I take antidepressants? –or I’m kinda addicted to a drug, can you help? stuff.
As others mentioned, he takes his time with you. He’ll take off his glasses, lean in –and HEAR you. NO judgement whatsoever! He’s even divulged a personal story about his son with a similar issue that he overcame with what also worked for me as well thanks to Dr Crockett caring enough to share that with me!
In an incredibly appropriate way, Dr Crockett, knowing my life story, asked me if he could say something that he’s noticing about my daughter’s behavior. I fancy myself an aware mom, but something small (yet growing) was happening under my nose and the way Dr Crockett approached it, I wanted to know more. Again, I’m a pretty awake person/​mom. I read everything I can about child development –hobby style! I had my babe late and only one with the BEST man on earth whilst being a mostly stay-​at-​home mama, so she’s my entire universe and I take a lot of care to raise her in the best possible way. But we aren’t perfect and my daughter being the center of the universe has some likely textbook issue that Dr Crockett so eloquently noticed and caringly shared. It was associated with some stress in her life. He recommended a great book (my new fave book), took the time to educate me about moving forward and afterward I had a good cry on his shoulder about it all. WHO DOES THAT?!
I needed that so much. He knows my life and cared enough to go beyond just my physical wellness, but also the betterment of my heart and mind. That all has an effect on our bodies and wonderful, amazing Dr. Crockett knows it. I’m a better person all around because of that man!
In addition, he’s so up to the minute on the latest and greatest going on in the medical industry, like our gut bacteria and what amazing advances are happening in that area of research and cognitive behavioral therapy. Both very evolved schools of thought. I’m honored to be a patient of the incredible Dr Crockett.
Yes, the phones are *a little* hard to get through. Have patience. He’s worth it and the staff are the sweetest ladies on earth! They are doing their best, but Dr. Crockett is really good and picking up new patients constantly. Please, go easy on them. They’ve come through for me every time, no exception.

Best Doctor ever, I have been seeing him for over 20 years!

I will never go here again. He prescribed me antidepressants when I needed anti anxiety and it actually caused me to go into depression and made my anxiety worse. Thankfully did research on my own instead of taking his recommendations, as this was deeply affecting my well being. Brought my boyfriend here and he also prescribed the wrong medication, then he got the medication correct but gave him the wrong dosage. Impossible to actually speak with the office. He uses a answering service that is unable to help with anything. Completely pointless. Worst doctor experience I’ve ever had.

My review is long overdue. I moved here from Southern CA early last year. I needed to find a Dr. ASAP. Shortly after moving to North CA I found out I was expecting. Luckily I found Dr. Crockett after doing some online research. The first day my husband and I met Dr. Crockett we were excited. He provided all the necessary information we needed for being first time parents. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I was extremely nervous of the labor process. The day had finally arrived and Dr. Crockett was there from the minute I called him to let him «I think it is time,» to the last day I was in the hospital. I was surprisingly calm knowing Dr. Crockett was there and was checking on me and the baby constantly made me feel so much better. He had just delivered another baby that same morning and was there with me to help me as well. He provides top notch services. Not what you expect from Drs. Now in days. Dr’s are too busy to provide you the services needed. Most of the time they sent interns or other Dr’s. Did I mention he returns calls right away. He called me within seconds the day I called to tell him I was in labor. Thank you Dr. Crockett for everything you did and continue to do for me and Juliana.

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.

Dr. Crockett is the most knowledgeable and compassionate Physican I have ever had the privilege of seeing. I have been a patient of his for 10 years, and have not only received excellent time, care and treatments, but I have been educated on a lifestyle to stay well. The office staff is professional and caring. They have consistently accommodated my sometimes difficult scheduling needs. I can recommend Dr. Crockett with 100% conviction.

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.

I have been going to for 3 years now. My visits/​experience has been good. I was use to having Kaiser most of my adult life. This was my 1^st experience with a PPO (Blue Shields/​Blue Cross) now Cigna. Still, taking time to get use to,. Unfortunately, my deductible is high I am use to paying $ 5-​$ 20 for an office visit. I was also luckily enough to have a Dr. my Primary MD, that I could email and pretty much get whatever I needed, without going in to see him. You get a pretty thorough exam/​visit, (+ OBGYN exam) especially when you address your concerns. Also, you can email and ask anything you need. I find it easier to park on the street,.Good idea to go ahead of time if you can to find the office, etc,.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Dr. Crockett has been my family’s doctor since I can remember. He’s very thorough, caring, knowledgeable, and while he’s been in practice for many years, he continues to study and read up on current events and procedures. He’s got a very patient-​oriented, old-​school approach to caring for his patients, which is a breath of fresh air if you’ve been to a larger medical practice with groups of doctors that barely remember your name or push you through quickly like cattle. I’ve been seeing him for years, and although I’d moved to Sacramento a couple years back, I continued to see him throughout my pregnancy and actually gave birth to my son at John Muir WC. Actually, when touring the hospital, I ran into another woman who had just moved to the Bay Area and was looking for an OB; when I’d mentioned Dr. Crockett’s name, she’d apparently been given the same name from 2 other expecting moms that same day! I trust him with mine and my family’s health and recommend him to anyone looking for an amazingly caring and trustworthy doctor!

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!

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.

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.

my daughter has been going to him since her birth and we absolutely love our experience there. He is always glad to discuss my questions and he delivers excellent care.

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!
