Dr. Harold Andrew Cronson, MD

I was referred by my therapist to call and make a Appt, the receptionist asked what needs I was on. I told her 3 mg of xanex as one of my mess. She told me in a not so kind way, that I was on a high dosage and the Dr would not prescribe them to me, I told her I wanted to discuss with the Dr that I wanted to wean off them eventually. She said oh No he is old school, you will have to go to the hospital. After we hung up,the phone, I was thinking how do you tell someone that, with out knowing or even making an appt? It clearly states he helps with depression. So if this is the case, then I would put on his website, will not prescribe Xanex or help wean you off! At least I found someone else who cares.

Thought I'd make my first appt to check out lack of focus but was quickly dismissed by the receptionist :-/ Wish she could have at least offered me suggestions/alternatives. Oh well, on to the next one.

Dr. Cronson has a very positive additude and makes you feel comfortable talking and opening up about yourself with no intimidation. There is no weird looks or a funny vibe going on. I would strongly recommend to a friend who needs a psychiatrist.

Dr. Cronson gave me care that was exactly what I needed. I would recommend hin to anyone. His receptionist is personable and works her tail off. She makes an effort to know you like you are family. She is always organized and I love the office visits when I need to go.

They told me to seek treatment else where bc I told the I was not used to doing doc appointment follow ups each month. I told the scheduleing lady that I would if I absolutly had to and they still refused to see me. That is REDICULIOUS! I hate this Psych hunt. They have all been rude or idiots so far...coming from someone with a psych degree, thats saying something!

In response to the two previous posts, I would like to relate my experience with Dr. Cronson and staff. Anyone in crisis should proceed directly to the ER instead of trying to make an appt. for a later time. His receptionist has NEVER been rude or disrespectful of my needs, and I have been a patient since 2003. Doctors are paid for their time and "no shows" cost them money. A little consideration goes a long way. I drive over an hour to go to Dr. Cronson even though I must pay in full due to my insurance not being accepted there. I have no complaints or concerns and will continue to recommend Dr. Cronson.

I tried to schedule an appointment with this doctor and the receptionist was VERY rude. She refused to schedule an appointment for me because she claimed that they had a number of patients that would schedule appointments and then not show up for them. She then hung up on me when I asked how they expected to keep patients if they would not schedule appointments. I would NEVER recommend this office.
