Teresa Kroeker, MD

Dr Kroeker is an exceptional doctor. She removed half of my thyroid due to a large, suspicious nodule. She took her time at my consultation to explain all of my options and risks of surgery. When the hospital briefly covered the risks of surgery with me at my pre-​op I laughed because Dr Kroeker had covered all of it so well there weren’t any questions in my mind. Even the staff at the hospital commented on how thorough and detailed she is. After surgery she was so hands on with my care, I was very impressed. I heard nurses say to call her directly with any updates, she only rounds her own patients, and after I left the hospital she followed up with me on the phone twice and once was on a Saturday. I totally trusted her and found her beside manner remarkably professional, personable, and kind. There is no question she cares about her patients and is great at what she does. A lovely lady and an excellent Doctor.

I was referred to Dr Kroeker by another Dr. Her office was easy to work with and so helpful and pleasant on the phone. Dr Kroeker is so sweet and willing to listen to all of your concerns. Her genuine caring personality is so refreshing in the medical field.
She’s breaking off and starting her own practice in 2016…
I will be following her!

In June, 2014 I saw my family practice doctor for symptoms of hypothyroidism. I was send for bloodwork and a thyroid ultrasound, and was told that things were“normal”. After a couple of months of frustration, I was referred to Dr. Kroeker for a second opinion. She did an ultrasound in the office and showed me the results right away. I had multiple nodules, and one of them was large enough that I needed a biopsy, so she did it right there in the office on the first visit. I appreciated getting everything done at one time. I went back for my follow up appointment and she was very thorough in talking me through the results and gave me all my options. She never once encouraged me to have surgery. She merely gave me the facts and answered all my questions and told me it was my decision. I ended up talking to my other doctors about the results and they both recommended having my thyroid removed because of the suspicious biopsy and because I had over 20 nodules on my thyroid, which was causing it to not function well. My husband and I had a meeting with Dr. Kroeker and talked about my decision, and she was very thorough in explaining the surgery to me and any risks. I felt totally comfortable with the decision, and so did my husband. Dr. Kroeker gave me her personal cell phone number in case I had any questions. I had the surgery in December 2014 (just before Christmas) and she did an excellent job. She is compassionate and thorough, and she truly cares about her patients. She checked up on me several times post-​op. It has now been 5 months since my surgery, and my scar is not visible at all and I physically feel so much better. I would highly recommend Dr. Kroeker because she is very professional, yet she is also very compassionate and caring. She is also an excellent surgeon.

I finally had my parathyroid surgery with Dr. Kroeker. She was amazing and very professional; after meeting her, my family felt very comfortable and confident in her skills to safely do my surgery. I’m now just about a week post-​op, and the incision site looks great! Dr. Kroeker has also continued to be very understanding and has encouraged me to contact her should I have any questions during my post-​op healing. I seriously recommend her!

I was referred to Dr. Kroeker for Thyroid nodules. She was recommended by another doctor because of her experience and advanced equipment. I have found Dr. Kroeker and her staff to be very attentive and professional. She has been willing to discuss options and help me apply the nuances of probabilities to my case.
Dr. Kroeker is able to do a thyroid ultrasound in the exam room. (Previously I had to have it done offsite and wait for results.) At one appointment she was able to do an ultrasound-​guided fine needle aspiration on the spot, so I did not have to set up future appointments at the hospital and play the waiting game.

Just so impressed with the genuine heart from this Dr. You’d do yourself a good one if you picked Dr. Kroeker as your surgeon.
