Dr. Kroop's knowledge of RA and ability to help me understand the disease and recommend the best meds is invaluable.

Dr. Kroop is very knowledgeable and has accessed the pertinent information from my chart. She doesn't need to shuffle paperwork to get up to speed. Since I've seen her a few times and we've come to know one another, she can tell how things are going. This is a definite asset.Note: Since Dr. Kroop is a Specialist and I don't know many people with PSA, I wouldn't have anyone to recommend her to.

Oh my! Dr Kroop is amazing. She stops and asks what I am thinking when I just make a gesture to speak. She always puts me first. She addressed the new information I brought to my history, recorded it and then gave me her opinion on the best way to treat my situation. She allowed me time to explain the difficult few months I had with a death in my family.She encouraged me to continue the healthy habits I have been working on. She made a point to connect the healthier me to a lessening of my physical discomforts- a cause and effect' encouragement.One always gets the feeling that she can easily take whatever amount of time needed to have a full discussion of my health status. She is a gem.
