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.

He has an ego problem
I went to see Dr Stuart Krost and he recommended an injection. I was asking if the injection could cause any damage and he didn't answer me and then I asked again and he got upset and said I can't help you anymore and left the room. Now I have no medicine for my pain and have to wait weeks to see another Dr. All because I was hesitant about him putting a needle in me. Dr Krost obviously has an ego problem that needs to be fixed. Also If you can't pay your co pay in cash they make you call their office number to pay with a card and they charge you a $5 fee plus the merchant processing fee on top of that. Thanks for leaving me out in the wind in pain Stuart Krost. You're supposed to treat pain not leave patients in pain. What a joke.

Dr Krost helped me to sustain a quality of life as best that could be under my circumstances. His knowledge and understanding help with use of various modalities available. He makes referrals appropriately. His Physician Assistant’s are the best with such compassion and understanding as well. I moved out of State and miss their Expertise.

Doctor's office does not follow Covid guidelines. They did not space chairs 6 feet apart, everyone used the same pens to sign in. Waited 45 minutes for the doctor and finally got frustrated and left. Staff highly unprofessional. Seemed like an an assembly line for patients. Office itself was unpleasant.

Dr. Krost is an amazing doctor. He has worked with myself and my family for the last two years. What I like about him is he always does not prescribe medication. He is made so much progress with the pain that I had in my back and my lower legs without medication. I am now pain-free. My son went to him two years prior because another doctor put him on medication that he could not come off. After about four months he was off the meds and feeling hundred times better. He is a world-class doctor. I would recommend him to anyone that is in pain.

I am a patient in the Lake Worth office. Dr Krost and the medical staff are #10! However, I do have a problem getting through to the office. But, most of the office personnel are Very accommodating. The lady who checks people in may need some PEOPLE SKILLS TRAINING! I had an issue with my copay(which has to be paid in CASH ONLY). I did not have the full amount $35 and asked for extension to pay balance on next visit. She refused saying I had a balance already?? I keep records of every payment so that was NOT TRUE! I had to get pain med refills & discuss results of a biopsy Dr Krost ordered. She didn't care. I asked to speak to someone else. She told me it's THE OFFICE POLICY TO COLLECT ALL MONIES AT CHECK IN. So, just be aware if you are a patient in LAKE WORTH, DON'T EXPECT TO BE SEEN UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR COPAY IN CASH!!!

Been going to Dr. Krost since 2005. Good doctor, however is staff and customer service provided keeps getting worse. Spent over 30mins on the phone today trying to confirm an appt., Phone kept ringing and no one in the office would answer. Eventually the message ctr., pick up, but they dont take messages. Told me to just call the office back later. Horrible customer service

I was in a car accident and was in such pain. Dr. Krost took great care of me. My wife was so upset that I would be hurting forever. After 4 visits I was healed!. His people there were also very nice and took care of me fast.
