- What to Expect
On your first visit, you will have a 1 ½ hour consultation and physical examination with Dr. Kroner. Dr. Kroner does not have nurse practitioners or Physician assistants doing her physical exams for her. Dr. Kroner will take an in-depth look at your medical history and current concerns. She will also order blood work and other diagnostic tests that she deems necessary in order to help figure out the fundamental etiology behind the medical concerns. The exact medical rationale behind every test ordered will be explained to you so that you completely understand the diagnostic approach. A step by step plan will be outlined on the first and second visit once the pros and cons of all the available medical and nutritional options are reviewed. Dr. Kroner will keep you abreast of the medical and nutritional treatments available for your medical conditions. You will receive a binder that has all your medical information in it. This book will be added to after every visit. You will leave the office more in control of your medical issues than before you entered.

- Your Primary Care Doctor
Please note that our center has chosen not to be affiliated with a hospital. This way we can better tend to your medical concerns during working hours. Due to this, we encourage all our patients to have a relationship with a primary care physician whose team is available to tend to all emergencies that you may have. We gladly will talk to your primary care physician about your treatment plan at our center. We will be happy to provide you with a referral to a board certified physician for your emergency needs.

We are always happy to receive your phone calls. We want to hear about your medical updates and concerns. This system of open and frequent dialogue is necessary for you to succeed in health. If a message is left with the front desk during the doctor’s working day, the doctor will call back that same day. Please be sure to provide alternate numbers where you can be reached. If you call when the office is closed, your phone call will be returned on the day that the doctor is scheduled to work, so please check the online calendar. Thank you for understanding.
