Thank you Dr. Cronk! You provided the tool I needed to take my life back. When I was almost completely hopeless, you guided me to the right decision. You supported me through both being terrified to undergo surgery, and the emotional challenges and doubts obesity patients can have after years (decades) of failure. Flawless surgery. Positive and encouraging demeanor. Always took time to answer all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Cronk.

Dr. Cronk changed my life. His speaking to a group I was in helped me know that surgery was the way for me to go. He helped guide me to what was right and down the right path to success. I went from barely being able to briskly walk across a street to just finishing RUNNING a 10K 19 months and 170 pounds out. I would recommend him to anyone. My only regret is that he moved out of state. :(

I would not hesitate to recommend Doctor Cronk to any one. He did a beautiful job on my bariatric sleeve and I lost 127 lbs. after four years with absolutely no complications or problems I have maintained a loss of 122 lbs. Doctor Cronk is very kind and thorough.

I thought that I'd found a surgeon to trust, but I was wrong about Dr. Cronk. I was scheduled for surgery and then I find out that he left the practice. Of course he had been planning this, you don't just up and leave. Thank you for wasting months of my time, jerk.
