About Me
Dr. Crawshaw says, “I love working with my hands: I was a welder for 5 years before going to college. Once I got to college I became interested in health care, and after immersing myself in the dental field at college as an intern, I loved everything about it. Dentistry provides a dynamic environment where I can develop wonderful relationships with my patients, while helping them get out of pain, and help them look and feel better.”
