I have been seeing Dr. Cronic and NP Jacquelyn for many years. They are awesome! I wouldn't put my healthcare into anyone else's hands.

Dr Cronic is a great physician. He takes his time to listen to your concerns and provides great feedback. I've never had to wait long to see him and his office staff are friendly and helpful.

James C.

a man with his hands folded
Dr. Cronic is the real deal. He is the holy grail of physicians. I have a lot of immune issues, which I have been medically gaslit about many times, and he made me feel seen and heard. He listened and was proactive in his treatment recommendations!

Jessie H.

a person smiling for the camera
Cool Doc. Always on-time. He listens to your concerns and is very quick to send your prescriptions and test results as soon as they're ready. Appointments are easy to get at your convenience.

Nick M.

Smiling elderly woman with curly gray hair, wearing a light blue blouse, against a black background.
I've been fortunate in having Dr. Cronic as my PCP for 20+ years and he genuinely cares about his patients. He also cared for my parents in their later years and went above and beyond in their care. I would not want to have any other doctor.

Kelly H.

a man with his arms crossed
Was looking for a doctor to help me manage my BP and other health issues. I couldn't have chosen a better doctor...Dr. Cronic is so down to earth. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, without being in a rush to get to the next patient.

If you are looking for a doctor that listens, really listens then look no further. Dr. Randy Cronic treats me, my daughter and son in law and we couldn't be happier. Dr. Cronic acts like he has all the time to talk and listen to each patient....

This is a doctor that truly cares. I would recommend Dr. Cronic to anyone! I have been a patient for almost 2 years. He listens and empathizes with his patients. He has helped me fight lupus.

Was recommended to Dr. Chronic by a co-worker and, while I've only been a few times, I've been so very impressed by the staff and the bedside manner of Dr. Chronic and one of his two NPs that I've seen. I would recommend this practice without...
