I have been going to Dr. Craton's office for the past almost 20-something odd years. We love him. We love his staff. It's always A-plus service that we get each time we come in. So I can say nothing bad about him. We love Dr. Craton and his entire staff, even the new staff members that come in. They seem to adjust to the culture that he has in place, and we just love the service that's provided to us. Thank you.

All of the staff are very friendly and kind. Dr Craton is caring, understanding and compassionate. In addition, he is very attentive and listened to my concerns and collaborates with my other healthcare providers to ensure we are all on the same page, regarding my healthcare needs.

Dr. Craton never disappoints. He's always very thorough, very attentive, excellent bedside manners, just an awesome physician all the way around. I will always give him a 10 and highly recommend him from the WellStar Medical Group for a primary care physician. Front office staff could be a little more friendlier than they are and the lab could definitely work on some changes there. But in all, a great primary care group.
