Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Kronen
My experience with Dr. Kronen has been exceptional. He was very kind and sympathetic to my hand injury. I would recommend my family friends and anyone using this as reference to him. The staff was excellent as well as they facilitated me every step of the way.

I was referred to this facility by a friend and I have to say I was not dissapointed. From the first visit Dr. Kronen made me feel comfortable with the course of action to repair my ligament. Through surgery and post surgery care he has been a calming voice and listened to my concerns and boy am I a difficult patient. I know why I was recommended to come here and I definitely will be recommending the services of Dr. Kronen to anyone I can.
