• Dr Cronin did a major fusion on me in 2022. When I started having new symptoms this year, he had left my usual practice ([redacted] so I started being assessed at [redacted], where two surgeons strongly recommended another fusion ASAP. I then found that Dr Cronin was still in my insurer network, and I felt very confident and reassured that he didn't think I need surgery, but will continue to monitor any progression of my degenerative spinal disease.

• Dr. Cronin provided a pretty good overview of the prospects for the proposed surgery. I felt, however, that he focused on only one surgical approach where there is at least two different surgical options and he did not address the second one. Other than that, I thought he was thorough. He listened carefully and did a good job in presenting his views in his case. Thank you.
