Biography

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.”

Philosophy Of Care

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.

Dr. Crabtree- Wilson is one of the most detailed and intent doctors I have ever had. She checked all of my neurological symptoms even if I didn't mention them. She is incredibly thorough!!

Husband had been treated here before. Liked how they cared for him. Even though they can not do anything for me but explained everything. Wonderful people.

From the moment I met Dr. Crabtree, she and I really connected. She made me comfortable, she answered all of my questions, she listened. When I saw her, it was immediately understood that I needed a surgery on an emergency basis. My surgery was scheduled as soon as all preop test could be handled. I know that her schedule was juggled to accommodate me. I could not have asked for a better intro to Dr. Crabtree. Unfortunately, I developed complications as a result of my surgery and Dr. Crabtree started seeing me instead of me being seen by a PA as is typical. Whenever I've had to call she's quite responsive. I think I gave her a nine on overall but that's only because if I gave her a 10, there would be nowhere for improvement and we all can improve. .
