Kelli Crabtree-Wilson, MD, earned her undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from Lehigh University, a Masters of Health Science from The Johns Hopkins University and a Doctor of Medicine from the University Of Kansas School Of Medicine. Crabtree-Wilson was the first female to graduate from the Kansas University Neurosurgery residency program. She is a member of the American Board of Neurological Surgery, Congress of Neurological Surgery and the Midwest Neurosurgery Society.
“I chose to become a Neurosurgeon at a very young age after my grandmother suffered a stroke and ended up needing extensive rehabilitation. This sparked my interest in the neuro-system and its ability to heal itself in certain areas.”
Crabtree-Wilson began her career working in neurosurgical care. She specializes in minimally invasive treatment of degenerative disorders of the spine and traumatic and benign neoplastic disorders of the brain and spine.
“My favorite thing about being a physician is being able to help somebody at one of the most difficult times or a crisis point in their lives which is limiting their actives and being able to get them on the road to recovery.”
My philosophy of care is to treat people the way I would want my own family treated. I put the patients first and I want to come to a decision with them along with our other team members to make sure that we are treating the person and the problem, not just the medical report or image.

Very good in consulting me about surgery or other options
Very positive
Excellent care!
Waited a bit after check in but that was ok because I could tell that this provider gives the same care and time to all of her patients. Even though she had to be running behind I could not tell that during our interaction. Very thorough and respectful. Would definitely recommend Dr. Crabtree and the staff at Lawrnce Spine Care!
