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.

Dr Kronik is excellent.
I was at ease at once. His feedback was spot on. He helped me - what more could I want.

I was wildly overmedicated when I was Dr. Kronick's patient and I developed a severe addiction to prescription tranquilizers during the six years I was under his care. I feel like he treated my brain like a bartender making a sloppy Long Island Iced Tea, just throwing ingredients together and hoping it turned out okay. He does not do a good job educating patients about all the side effects of the drugs he prescribes. Dr. Kronick coerced me into thinking that I was a victim of my biochemistry and that I had to trade my high-energy levels, my sex drive, and my metabolism in exchange for mental health. (More like mental hellth!). I became increasingly unable to make good decisions and handle my life; the combination of drugs he prescribed me was practically disabling. I slept 11 hours a day. When I got off all these crazy drugs, I felt so much better! I would say that the four drugs he prescribed reduced my anxiety by 20%. I'll happily take that anxiety and enjoy having my life back.

Dr Kronick prescribed Ritalin, Wellbutrin XL, Trazadone, Lamictal and Clonazepam to my daughter in the summer and fall of 2006. Each one had multiple refills. She refilled three of them on 12/7/2006, then took all of them on 1/1/2007. I will never understand how any professional could prescribe so many controlled substances to someone all at the same time without being more prudent and cautious
