Dr. John Croom, MD

When I was referred to Dr. Croom several months ago, no one really knew what‘s the cause of my suddenly passing out condition. By the time I visited him, I already forgot why I had an appt with him and what’s his specialty, because during the long waiting for his appt, I discovered there has been 2 gas leaks in my apartment and after the gas leaks were fixed, I really haven’t had episode of passing out except an incidental fainting spell which didn’t match seizure symptoms. However, Dr Croom didn’t want to take any chance, he asked many Qs to rule out all possibilities of seizure. Even he determined that I don’t have seizure, he show concerns of my stress level, how badly I was treated by my apt manager & how that can effect my health. He gave me a lot of time & very attentive to every word I said. He tried to trouble shoot with me and gave me many good advices. I Strongly recommend him. He is truly a doctor who cares for his patient. I wish he is my Dr but I don’t have seizure.

Dr. Croom treated me for epilepsy in collaboration with my neurologist at the KCVA. He accurately diagnosed the nature of the type of seizures that were ongoing at the time and even recommended some good treatment for me. Unfortunately, I was transferred to another Epileptologist that the VA hired shortly thereafter, so our time together was short. However, I’m also an LCSW and Dr. Croom has treated some of my clients who have epilepsy as well as clients who have PNES and he has been effective in helping me with both. I now live out of the area and am under the treatment of another epilepsy specialist, but Dr. Croom’s insights helped guide my current treatment.

Dr. Croom has been treating me for several years. He is thorough in diagnostics, which is critical in treating epilepsy. I am very impressed with his patience, support, clear communication and ability to instill confidence in me making decisions about treatment.

Dr Croom is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He speaks to you as a caring friend and not just another pt. would recommend to all.

I’ve seen dozens of doctors over the years and Dr. Croom is by far the one I’ve been most impressed with. Dr. Croom’s expertise, friendliness and selflessness is what every patient dreams of getting from their doctor. He’s absolutely one of the best and most respected neurologists in the Midwest. Even the doctors at Mayo recommended him. He’s truly a fantastic doctor and he truly cares about each patient. I consider myself lucky to be a patient of his for over a decade now.
