DOC CRANE WAS OUR FAMILY DOCTOR UNTIL HE PASSED ON. HIS PRACTICE WAS SO POPULAR, WE HAD TO WAIT ON THE FRONT PORCH OF HIS OFFICE TO HAVE HIM WORK HIS MEDICAL MIRACLES. HE WAS A DOCTOR IN THE NORMAN ROCKWELL TRADITION....OLD FASHIONED, HONEST AND VERY GIFTED AS A PHYSICIAN.

Tom and Mack: Have to agree with you he was a great doctor to see, I stood on that porch many times. Once inside you can hear him open that door and say NEXT. Go to that room with the curtains and he'd put that cotton up your nose and give you a magazine to read. The man worked miracles. God Bless Him.
Hi Tom & JoeZ:)
I liked Dr Crane and agree with
both of you he was a good doctor.
I too was part of those lines into
Dr Cranes office. I had no idea
you folks were too. Heck we all might have stood in line one after
the other 25/30 years ago.small
world:)
Other doctors from back then I
remember are Dr Woolf who delivered
me at St Francis, Dr Mooney , and
of course Dr Gian-Grasso:)
Add me to list of patients. The interesting thing is that no matter what was wrong with you, the treatment was the same. Cotton in nose, swallow, and then came the blast..
GOD bless this man. He was there when my kids were sick and came to my house on a holiday to treat my son. A realy good man.
The only time I could ever fully breathe out of my nose was when my Mom (who grew up in the Burg)took me to see Dr. Crane. He was wonderful. -K
dr crane was one of the eminent miracle healers of the burg and south trenton
he should be granted sainthood!
