Patient Reviews
Mar 16, 2023
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kroop and his team. It was my first time as a 43 year old woman experiencing some GI issues with colon cancer in my family. (I was very nervous for the colonoscopy). Dr. Kroop, Dr. Boxer, Kara, Iona were amazing and made me feel very important as well as made me feel a bit less stressed. Jamie in the front office helped me get in with a much earlier appt when originally I was waiting 3 months. Surgical center was clean. Dr. Kroop has a good sense of humor too. Highly recommend.
