About

Dennis Crandall, MD, offers office consultation and surgery for all spinal conditions and disorders. He offers specialized treatment of spine injuries in workers and athletes, as well as spinal deformities. He also offers second opinions and participates in research studies to further advance spine care.

Dr. Crandall bases treatment on individual patient needs and research-proven treatment pathways. Once he understands the precise source of pain or dysfunction, he can effectively direct treatment. In most cases, patients have at least a few conservative treatment options. When surgery is needed, which isn’t the case for most spinal conditions, there are usually a few different options to consider as well. Dr. Crandall presents patients with choices ranging from the least invasive options up to complex surgical procedures, depending on what is needed. He also shares success and complication rates. After surgery, he continues to follow up with his patients long-term.    

Dr. Crandall is a fifth-generation Arizonan. In addition to practicing medicine, he works as a clinical professor in the Valley and a spine consultant for local sports teams. He serves on Boards and also contributes to peer-reviewed spine publications. He is a medical device and technology inventor and industry consultant. He was previously a major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of HonorHealth by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. HonorHealth uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff in our Medical Group practices. In order to support full transparency, HonorHealth ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in HonorHealth’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
