I would highly recommend Dr Cronin. He knew exactly what I needed surgically and also, listened to my concerns. Both at the consultation, day of surgery and with all he did on my shoulder the pain afterwards was minimal. I'm looking forward to my recovery and would definitely use Dr Cronin again!

My elbow surgery was a success thanks to Dr Cronin. His follow up is attentive to detail. He answers all my questions. Hopefully, he will leave Brandon Hospital and accept at Advent Health new hospital in Riverview.

Very knowledgeable as he knew right away my problem with my shoulder pain. Looking at the X-ray he knew it was my neck. He referred me to a neck specialist. Have an appointment next month. He’s a very caring doctor.
