Dr. Michael Clyde Cronen, DO

When I saw Dr. Cronen, he told me he would only try what I had tried before. I told him that I'd already tried those things and that they didn't work. He said there were no other pain medicines that I haven't tried, which wasn't true. He told me there were basically no options for treatment, which obviously made me upset since my very severe pain, which has left me pretty much bedridden a majority of the time, would not be treated. Because I got upset, as I believe most people would in that situation, he said I was unstable and needed to be admitted to a mental health facility.

Don't waste your time and money on the BioTe pellet process they offer. They fail to tell you until you're there that there are restrictions if you've had breast cancer and then give you false information in order to get you to pay for the full spectrum of pellets you've been promised. Then when you complain, write letters and make phone calls, no one returns your call. I don't know anything about Dr. Cronin - never met him or talked to him even though his assistant was supposed to talk to him and call me back.

Thoroughly impressed with Dr Cronen and his staff! Dr Cronen takes the time to discuss your issues, explain procedures and always does what’s best for you as a patient! Most doctors have someone else do your work up & then they come in for 10 minutes. Not Dr Cronen! He sits down & honestly talks! They provide a whole better health of services & they stand behind it! They are honest and caring! I will recommend him every time!

Dr. Cronen listens to you at every visit. His staff is very friendly and know what they are doing.

Visiting Dr. Cronen shortly after waking up with 3 bulging disks in my neck in November of 2016 and being in the worst pain in my life, he was life saving! After being referred by my physician, Dr. Sal Ciliberti, and reviewing my MRI's, he arranged an office visit almost immediately. The first thing he told me was that his goal was to get me well, not just treat me. He was very reassuring and seemed to have a keen sense as to the level of suffering I was enduring. 3 epiderals later, I'm pain free, and with the physical therapy he recommended, life is returning to normal. His staff was wonderful Too! Minimal waiting, as well. As a small business owner myself, I'm telling you this office is one of the best. Thanks again to you and your staff Dr. Cronen!

They will give you drug and psychological testing even if your not there for controlled substances! They are extremely expensive and may not be covered by health insurance! This place is a business that is there to make money even if the testing is unwarranted!

I was seen by Dr. Cronen for abdominal injections to help ease the pain after multiple abdominal surgeries. He felt that he could not help me, so instead of sending me on my way after the initial consult/exam he leads me to a room to take a cognitive assessment test, a psychological test and a drug test. The drug test was billed to my insurance for $900! The two cognitive assessment test billed @ $257 & $323 and the psychological testing was billed @ $175! On top of that I also received his consult bill of $250 billed to my insurance! After all this was completed I asked if I needed to make a follow up and he said there was no need that he couldn't help me! When I received the $900 bill for the drug test I acquired as to why I was given a drug test, psychological test and a cognitive test.?. It was explained by his nurse that it was standard procedure to make sure that I was not mentally incompetent or on drugs. When I explained to her I understood that was standard procedure,… however the Dr. said in the initial exam that he could not help me and that I wasn't there for narcotics and he didn't offer nor did I ask! So I ask her why did I need to be drug tested and given those tests when he had no intention of seeing me again or helping me? At that point she seemed befuddled and said that she would have to get back to me... as of yet, I still haven't hear back from her! Luckily the drug test only ended up costing me $200 and the office visit & test cost me $268! However that is $468 for absolutely nothing! I guess I helped to Pay for that Jaguar sitting in his spot out back! Unless you were there for some sort of controlled substance I would refuse to take those tests as they are very expensive and what your insurance doesn't pay you have too!

Good guy

RECOMMEND !!!

I doubt that I will follow through with rescheduling an apt. with this office after they canceled my apt. on the phone, due to a misunderstanding on their part because THEY DO NOT LISTEN. The office staff is the nastiest I have ever encountered in the medical profession. She kept talking right over me, in an extremely rude, condescending manner, as I tried to explain their mistake. Why would I want to give them my business?
