Patient Reviews
Aug 16, 2024
I had an appointment to review my procedure at Dr. Kroop's office as my former Dr. retired from Virtua at Allied Gastrointestinal. It was my first visit to meet some of the office staff and nurses who were present and I new that it was a good fit and a good feeling. They explained based on my medical information that I needed an appointment for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy to be administered by Dr. Kroop. On the day of the procedure and my very first time meeting Dr. Kroop and his surgical staff that I came to the right place. I was treated with respect during the whole event and even received a follow up phone call from Dr. Kroop himself about how I felt and if there was any issues to contact his office. I am so glad that I became a patient of the firm and will continue to tell some of my friends about Dr. Kroop and his staff.
