Dr. Crane is an expert in otology and neurotology who also has a research background in disorders of the vestibular system. His research aims to better understand human motion perception and spatial orientation using psychophysical and engineering techniques to study head motion and its interaction with visual stimuli. Current studies involve healthy individuals, patients with vestibular hypofunction, and patients with dizziness symptoms related to common central integration disorders such as migraine associated vertigo.

Dr. Crane is a graduate of the M.D.-Ph.D. program at University of California, Los Angeles where he got a Ph.D. studying vestibular control of eye movement in humans. He continued at UCLA for his internship and residency in otolaryngology. During residency he won awards for best resident research project and was chosen by his peers to get the resident teaching award. After completing his residency, Dr. Crane remained at UCLA as a faculty member where he continued resident teaching as well as did research supported by a fellowship from the Giannini Family Foundation. Dr. Crane completed a 2 year ACGME accredited neurotology fellowship at Johns Hopkins in June of 2009. During his time there he was awarded the American Neurotology Society fellows award.

Dr. Crane's Areas of Expertise:

• Single sided deafness
• Cochlear implants
• Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)
• Otosclerosis
• Cholesteatoma

Research

Dr. Crane, an assistant professor in the departments of Otolaryngology and Neurobiology and Anatomy, is an expert in otology and neurotology, who also has a research background in disorders of the vestibular system. His research aims to better understand human motion perception and spatial orientation using psychophysical and engineering techniques to study head motion and its interaction with visual stimuli. Current studies involve healthy individuals, patients with vestibular hypofunction, and patients with dizziness symptoms related to common central integration disorders such as migraine associated vertigo.

A graduate of the M.D.-Ph.D. program at the University of California, Los Angeles, Crane remained at UCLA as a faculty member, where he continued resident teaching and conducted research supported by a fellowship from the Giannini Family Foundation. He most recently was a clinical instructor at Johns Hopkins Hospital when he completed a residency program in neurotology. Dr. Crane's practice involves all aspects of otology and neurotology including treatment of hearing, balance disorders and surgery of the ear and lateral skull.

Very helpful and informative I will definitely see him again in the future

Dr Crane seemed to have little time or patience for introductory meeting. While I recognize he is a surgeon and focuses on that I found his responses to my questions minimal with little desire to engage in discussion. Basically he said it is what it is - up to you to get the facts and decide on course of action

Dr did not go over my test, what it meant, what kind of loss I had with my hearing. I had to ask. I was very upset about my hearing loss and I didn't feel that the doctor understood why or tried to help me. I felt like he was basically saying there is nothing you can do about your problems with your hearing. He didn't even ask me any questions. He looked inside both ears for 2 seconds and that was it. Not happy at all with this visit.

I came to Dr. Crane to diagnose and understand my symptoms of dizziness and hearing loss. I have traveled far and wide ([...]) to see two other specialists whose qualifications in otology are adequate to address to treat this kind of problem. Dr. Crane was recommended by one of these doctors as well as by several audiologists I have worked with closer to home ([...]). Dr. Crane provided a diagnosis that validates the diagnosis of the other specialists I saw, but was able to go well beyond them in deepening my understanding of the diagnosis and in providing a reasonable and actionable treatment strategy. He was also patient in answering my questions and in providing further explanations when I needed clarification. I am now confident that I can move forward with a treatment plan that will, I pray, improve my symptoms.

This was my 4th visit with Dr Crane. I must say my impression of him improved each time I saw him. I appreciate his expertise. He remembered a personal event I had shared with him previously unrelated to my health. That made me feel like he saw me as person, not a patient with hearing loss.

I had high expectations for this visit with Dr. Crane who was highly recommended. He barely asked me any questions about myself and my condition. It was as if he had already decided how to "treat" my problem before trying to troubleshoot or identify root causes. He treated my disease, he did not treat ME or my own personal symptoms or issues. He even told me to not bother with completing all of the paperwork that the receptionist had given me to fill out, as I was only half way through completing when he came into the room. That is how little he cared about my personal symptoms. Highly disappointed with this office visit and Dr. Crane's general attitude toward me, his apathy and his lack of being willing to explore possibilities to help me. I left feeling defeated and extremely disappointed. I will never ever be back to this office.

Appointment was for a future medical procedure. Which was discussed in depth. I arrived with a current medical problem that I was being treated for that he diagnosed as being unrelated to my future procedure.

Very thankful he took it upon himself to come to my aid outside of my scheduled consultation. What a great Doctor!

Dr. Crane is very knowledgeable and has a good reputation in the industry. He is friendly but not overly communicative. He could have shared more information, because sometimes the patient doesn't know important questions to ask.
