Cronen Geoffrey MD

My husband and I were in Tampa for just a few months and my husband was in serious need of back surgery. We were referred to Dr. Cronen and he reviewed the situation with us and laid out all of the possible options for us. We knew we wanted to proceed with the surgery as soon as possible and that my husbands symptoms would not be improved with anything less than surgery. I was impressed that Dr. Cronen was willing to take my husband on as a patient with such a short time frame to work in for an orthopedic case and that he didn’t insist that we waste time doing things we knew from experience would not solve the problem in this situation. He also does surgery for Shriner s Hospital on children with spinal problems so I felt we likely had a good man on our side. I was absolutely correct. We were able to schedule the surgery quickly and all the details were handled quickly and smoothly. The day of surgery Dr. Cronen came out and discussed the surgery with my personally and I could see by his demeanor that he really cared and was very cautious and thorough in his medical care. My husband had an excellent recovery, better than most people could expect because he refuses to allow pain to slow him down. I felt that the surgery was completely successful and I was absolutely delighted by Dr. Cronen’s skill in caring for of my husband. I can highly recommend him as a surgeon for an adult or a child in need of spinal surgery.
