Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Care!
Dr Krone is a great doctor who knows what he is doing and also a caring person and also has a great team. I will definitely recommend him to anybody who wants a caring surgeon.

Worst doctors office I have ever visited. Unprofessional and slow staff, it’s impossoble to get them to fax things and they charge every time. The worst of all is Dr Krone himself. He refused to put me in physical therapy in order to extend my visits. He did not give me proper information for rehabilitation. He is rude and he doesn’t care. Save yourself from going here.
