    I have been a patient of Dr. Craig Surman for over 25 years, and he has been fantastic from the start. He has always answered my questions and explained things clearly, which has helped me to understand how to deal with ADD. Highly recommend!

    Dr. Surman is really good. He's very responsive and thoughtful and he asks a lot of questions and listens to what I have to say and he answers my questions. But beyond that, he really has a broad knowledge. I mean, I went to see him for one particular condition, but he knows a lot about other things too, like Tinnabus, you know, my ears ring, and he knows a lot about that. And I can ask him other medical questions, too. And, you know, he's good at that. He has a very broad and deep knowledge. He's a very knowledgeable doctor. And he's really, he's very relatable. I always enjoy seeing him. I'm really lucky to have Dr. Surman.

    Craig is one of the best clinicians and at this point a friend. I can't say enough good things about him. My only concern was is that I get the feeling that given the discipline, appointments on occasion don't necessarily come together or go off on schedule as well as they could. which is understandable. I mean, this is dealing with some really interesting funky stuff and, you know, I can only imagine in the middle of something having a break and go help someone else out. So, hence the reason for my, you know, was I seen in a timely manner type deal. He's tens across the board, fives across the board, he's everything across the board in the superlative end of things.
