Biography
John T. Kroner, M.D.
General Orthopaedic Surgeon
Dr. John Kroner specializes in surgery and treatment of general orthopaedic problems, such as joint replacement surgery, arthroscopic surgery, fractures, and sports medicine.
Dr. Kroner works with each patient to understand the underlying orthopaedic issues and uses his expertise to treat them – or refer them to the most qualified clinician whose expertise he would entrust with a family member or himself.
I have enjoyed caring for patients with orthopaedic problems for over 30 years. My other interests are family, fishing, cooking, and music.
