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.

RUN AWAY!
Dr Kroop is dismissive and condescending in her tone and demeanor. She doesn’t like it when you questions and only she can do the asking because, “that’s how she understands,” but doesn’t given you the same courtesy. No empathy and just plain mean. Stay away.

Dr Kroop is the most informed, timely, and organized Dr that I see. I have never had to call and check on test results, she sends messages faster than I can log in to look at any results.

Dr. Kroop has seen my (adult) son on an inpatient basis for 3 years. She is dismissive and condescending in tone and demeanor. Possibly because there is no official diagnosis, she seems to consider him a malingerer. His condition presents like bacterial meningitis, but it isn't. He has been hospitalized 8 times, twice in ICU, yet she minimizes our concerns. She dislikes questions and lacks any hint of empathy. He feels worse after every visit from her. Her partners are great so we stay.
