I expressed concerns about a neck injury that I thought could be related to the parotid surgery performed 10 years ago. Even though there weren't any overt signs of concern or distress, I was able to get an appointment with the ENT surgeon who performed the surgery to put my mind at ease. I was also able to discuss my levels of positive and negative stress and aging related maladies of varying degrees without judgment.

Dr. Kroening is a compassionate and empathetic doctor. He respectfully listens and takes his time explaining everything in a clear and concise manner. Unlike other doctors, Dr. K truly gets to know his patients. There is never an air of arrogance or inflated self worth, like other doctors. My husband and I both agree that Dr. K is amazing!!! We recommend him right away when our family and friends are looking for a new doctor.

Dr. Kroening really takes his time to explain things. He has the level of scientific and technical communication "dialed in" quite well for me.
