MIchael J Marks Md's Online Review Report Card

I have not seen himIn awhile but Dr Kron and his assistant Nan were incredibly kind, warm and Dr Kron has a great personality and sense of humor in addition to being brilliant. I had some unexpected health issues but am working on these. I certainly wish his rates had not increased so dramatically but supply/demand. Remarkable human being who helped me with severe anxiety at the time.

Dr. Krohn is awesome. I was desperate on getting help for my friend who has PTSD and untreated ADHD for over 50+ years. I love his approach on treating his patient. He took the time and took a great care of my friend. Thank you Dr. Krohn, you are truly an angel.

Kron insisted upon a battery of tests. I am self diagnosed ADHD. I am also a clinical psychologist and treat patients with ADHD. I came solely for medication. My reaction to the first two medications he prescribed was severe enough that I could no longer take them. I became quite ill. Kron's response was "get better". Instead of searching for an appropriate medication he told me to search for it. That is the physician's job and the cost of doing business. And then I never heard from him again. After $1300 he abandoned me. Very serious. Potential patients beware.

Dr. Kron is comprehensively brilliant and compassionate. After reading his yelp reviews I decided that I at least had to see what the hype was all about. Believe what you read. Dr. Kron is in very high demand and I was lucky enough that he had a cancellation and the opening fit into my schedule. Dr. Kron spent many hours with me and my spouse on our initial visit going through my entire medical history; blood work, previous diagnoses, testing, medication history, and symptoms. He demonstrated a keen intellect and a very high degree of knowledge (clearly gained through a passion for his line of work and a love of learning) that he applied to my complex and confusing situation. There is no doubt that his evidence based approach, and research backed recommendations, come from a profound respect for the effectiveness of the scientific method. His previous experience as a scientist is a real asset. He seems to be able to spot salacious pseudoscience from a mile away and filter through studies that lack the controls needed to draw accurate conclusions and separate correlation from causation. He is able to handle complexity like a genius. He utilizes a latticework of mental models that can only come from intense study in many fields (nearly every subject we touched on, and there was a wide range, Dr. Kron had a surprising level of knowledge and wisdom) and many years of practice. You can't help but notice that he takes what he does seriously and cares about helping those who suffer. I always leave feeling inspired to double my efforts, follow his recommendations to the best of my ability, and seek wisdom in the same way he does. Dr. Kron was able to see what many other mental health professionals, all across the nation, had missed. I had been looking for exactly the expertise he possesses for many years. He tested me for many different conditions, listened carefully to my experience of life, took into account my family history, and appeared to fully understand what it is like to live with a condition like mine with its many complicating and interacting factors. Many doctors I had seen over the years suffered from the "man with a hammer syndrome" to which every problem looks like a nail. This myopic view fails to incorporate individual variability and keeps prescribing and diagnosing withing the proverbial box. Dr. Kron understands that, while a diagnosis can be helpful, every patient's symptoms tend to manifest in different ways and that a patient should be treated as the individual that they are. He treats people not numbers. Dr. Kron has obviously earned the right and ability to think independently after considering the best information available - the definition of a high-level expert. He listens like no other psychiatrist I have ever heard of. He is also witty as hell with a delightful sense of humor.With the new insight he was able to provide I have been able to make progress and generate hope where previously there was neither. I finally feel like I am chopping down the correct forest. A follow up visit and a fair amount of email correspondence has confirmed and reinforced my initial impressions - this guy is outstanding.He made multiple recommendations beyond medication (all of which he supported with evidence of efficacy) and the therapist he referred me to is skilled at working with my exact issues.His staff is also outstanding and kind with quick responses and creative solutions to every issue I have run into.He doesn't accept insurance (that's how the great ones often operate) but if you need the best then believe me this is a deal.A learning machine with compassion is a rare thing to find let alone one who is a board certified psychiatrist from Yale with a network that will make your jaw drop. I don't think it is possible for me to be in better hands.Thank you Dr. Kron. May your kind multiply.

I'm sure he's good but I wouldn't know because they never returned any of my messages that I left or emailed. Disappointing

In all my 35 years I've never felt so close to any of my doctors until Dr Kron. He is an amazing person and highly recommended from my family.

Michael Kron is by far the best psychiatrist I have ever worked with, and the only one worthy of the title "psychopharmacologist."I suffer from Major Depression with comorbid Anxiety, Delayed Sleep Phase, and general fatigue.He is the first mental health professional in my 25 years of visiting them to test me and diagnose for Adult ADD, and the meds he prescribed for that condition put me closer to remission from all of my symptoms than I have been in almost 20 years.If you can get an appointment with him, and have the financial resources (he does not process insurance papers, but you can submit his bill to your insurance company for partial reimbursement), there is no other like him.Prior to my first visit, he sent me a number of questionnaires to fill out, all of which were examined in painstaking detail during the first 5 hour visit. That's right: 5 hours. First time in my life a psychiatrist has spent more than 30 minutes with me.Don't settle for half-a$$ed treatment for the most important organ in your body.

I wrote a review for Dr Kron years ago and since then, I've unfortunately have had the universe dump numerous physical as well as emotional bombs on my family and myself. I felt it was tIme to refresh my review about the good doctor. Dr. Kron not only has a deep understanding of psychiatric issues & medication but, he considers aspects that other psychiatrists miss such as thyroid, hormones, diabetes. through & through he's a Biology Whiz. It's what he eats for breakfast-lunch-dinnerFull Disclosure: I'm NOT an easy patient to diagnose. In addition to what people generally see Psychiatrists for, I have a chronic immune disorder, Fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. As if that were not enough, I flitter about in foreign countries and run out of my medications. Yep, the good doctor talked me off the ledge and helped me resolve that crisis. HE's THAT good!If you're seeking a knowledgable diagnostician, look no further. At times, I'm not clear how he keeps up with my boo-hoo regarding every medication I try. I suppose keeping meticulous records helps in addition to being a brainiac as well as a compassionate doctor. Don't tell him I said so, it might go to his head. Most recently, I advised him that I wanted to stop taking a medication that after 12 years, I was certain not effective for me any longer. After having the what/why/when chat, he appeared satisfied with my decision and respectfully set about figuring a plan to support me through the process. That dear friends makes for a great psychiatrist and humanitarian. What makes his office buzz with efficiency and good karma is Nan, his Senior Office manager. She's prompt with call.-backs, current on medicine changes/dos She's THE BOMB!What I'm trying to say is that the Dr Kron is passionate about his patients and goes the extra mile and so it stands to reason that Nan, his super-hero assistant keeps the balls up in the air with flare!I just wish he didn't work so hard, we will need him for the long haulPace yourself Dr Kron!

Dr.Kron is the best Psychatrist hands down. I moved down to LA a few years ago and he was able to print all my files about me out to give to the new Doctor that I will be seeing. He has made my life more bearable with ADHD. It took me awhile to write this review but please go to this doctor. He will help you and not make you feel bad for feeling what you do. So if you are looking for the last hope here it is people. Smack right in front of your face. Trust the reviews. People don't take the time to write good reviews for good doctor. I hope this helps with whatever you are going thru. Patience, time and seeing this doctor will help you thru. Just trust.

Wow! Where do I start?! Dr. Kron is incredibly smart, well-informed, interesting and interested. He is funny with a quick wit and good sense of humor. He is super multi-fascinated and uber talented, with a background in psychiatry, neurology and pharmacology. He is very focused on his patients but if you can get him to tell you a little about himself, he is one of these doctors/people who is obviously highly intelligent that you get the feeling could master anything, and probably has a photographic memory (I hated those people in school! LOL). He is incredibly caring and is very much a protective advocate for his patients. I feel like I have someone in my corner who truly cares about the outcome of my treatment, hearing how it is going along the way and seeing me get better. On top of that, he is super responsive and communicative, returning phone calls, emails, etc. very promptly. He is truly kind and really gives a d___ about his patients! I have never met anyone like him as a person and certainly no psychiatrist like him... and I have been to more than I care to admit. He is simply awesome!
