I've been a patient of Dr Northrop for more than 20 years. I've always felt comfortable enough to talk about everything. I've spoken with him many times after regular hours. Altho the opiod crises has tied his hands, but he's always is willing to listen n help if he can, he will. I plan on keeping him for the long haul. PS, my hubby uses him as well.

If I could give negative stars I would. 0 stars. His staff is horrible. Canceled 3 appointments and made me wait over 4 and a half months to see him, only to be told that medication makes problems worse. Same medication for over 15 years. Not to mention I was told at least 12 times he would continue to write it. He is rude, condescending, and I would not recommend him for anything.

Dr. Northrop has been very good to me, diagnosing cancer and other problems. He listens well and cares about me. I have been a patient for about 10 years.

Dr. Northrop is compassionate and a good listener, but he is not a thorough doctor. I could not recommend him.
