Rating & Reviews
I trust my doctor. Dr Craig is a wonderful smart and caring doctor and I would recommend him. To everyone. Thank you for taking care of my child..
Everything went well. That's all I've got to say.
I loved that Dr. Eagan took time and did not rush thru anything. And spoke TO my sone not down at him
I really appreciated how the doctor didn't go straight to surgery to solve the problem my daughter's having, and he was open and willing. And his first choice was to try other options before we went straight to surgery. My daughter's had surgery before, and in that instance, the doctor went straight to surgery without wanting to try anything else to solve the problem and that made me really uncomfortable. But Dr. Craig Egan went to other options before surgery, and that made me feel a lot more comfortable.
Doctor Egan has done an exceptional job with my son's recovery process for his VF. I am thankful for him and all the doctors and nurses who took care of my son. ??
Phoenix Children's and Dr. Egan (and his team) always meet or surpass our expectations. We are impressed with how organized things are, the timeliness of appointments, and courtesy and care provided.
The staff and specifically Thaia was so empathetic and kind. Even taking the time to send a follow up message that everything will be ok. I was quite emotional and scared and my daughter and I felt quite care for.
Always a great experience!
Thank you Dr Eagan! He remembered my son's medical situation and it's been a few years ! Thank you for the care!
I never feel rushed. He always takes his time and checks if we have any questions.
Dr. Egan is great. He took time to talk to my son about his condition and answer questions he had.
