Dr. Janet Filemyr Krommes, MD

I went to see Dr. Krommes and left feeling worse than when I had walked in. She was quick to dismiss my symptoms. She said my hip pain was bursitis (no imaging), and a script for physical therapy was given. My hands would balloon up like little hams without any reason or pattern to it. The inside of my cheeks would also swell for no reason. She said the hands and mouth swelling could be Angioedema and maybe I should see an allergist. She attributed my chronic fatigue to possible sleep apnea and recommended perhaps a sleep study. With a positive SSB (Sjogren’s antibodies) and high ANA, I left that office and never returned. I was so discouraged, and did not want to ever feel like again, so I never followed up with any doctors. For six years the same symptoms continued, but this time I had renal involvement and the hip was so bad that it froze. I finally got the nerve to see another local rheumatologist who I believe saved my life. After a consultation, exam, labs and images, I was diagnosed with Lupus and Sjogren’s Syndrome. The work-up also showed that I am cardiolipin antibody positive, which explains my four miscarriages. I was put on the appropriate medication (Plaquenil) and guess what? My life got better and I felt the best I had in years. My hands and inner cheeks stopped swelling, I no longer required naps throughout the day and could be an active and productive adult again. Also a simple daily blood thinner allowed me to carry a pregnancy to full term. I would never recommend Dr. Krommes.

First time visit . Took the time to listen , explained what she expected from me . Very kind and caring person and physician . She was very confident in my treatment. Would highly recommend Dr. krommes .

Dr.Krommes literally saved my Mother who was suffering for years with terrible pain and had been given misdiagnosis by other medical professionals. Dr.Krommes medical expertise was a life saver!!! I highly recommend her.

One of the very best Doctors on the planet......she is also one of the nicest people I've ever met

DR K fixed me

My wife and I are long-time patients of Dr Krommes at a prior practice. We look forward to re-connecting with her in her new practice.

Dr. Krommes is an amazing physician! She spends as much time as needed with you, she lets you talk, and she truly tries to understand how you feel. I never feel rushed with her, and I even consult her on other medical issues as well. I trust her completely, and it's a shame more physicians aren't like her.

Dr. Krommes actually comes out to the waiting room to get you! What doctor does that??? She spent quality time with me answering all of my questions & I truly believe she cares.

Dr. Krommes is a true doctor who continues to stay abreast of the latest advances in her profession. She is not the least bit condescending like many other doctors and will listen closely to what you tell her. Just an excellent doctor.

My first visit with Dr. Krommes was a wonderful experience. She was thororugh and didn't rush you. I have RA and hadn't been to a Rheumatologist in quite a few years. Been suffering with my knees for over 2 years. Dr. Krommes suggested a shot in both knees. I t was like a miracle the pain went away and may last 2 months. She also is putting me on medication. I highly recommend her.

The best expierence I ever had at a new Doctors office. Staff was great & Dr.Krommes makes you feel like she's ther for you & your not rushed. I would recommend her to everyone I could.

The uncaring attitude toward my daughter's illness was devastating to her and myself as Well. We came to you because you were supposed to be a 'caring' physician. When my daughter's illness could not fit into your myoptic 'box' you dismissed her symptoms and told her to 'talk to somebody' and, in front of her, said I (her mother) was 'enabling' her. On top of UNCARING, this was totally UNPROFESSIONAL on your part and added greatly to my daughter's 10+ years of being marginalized by doctors who do not understand what they are dealing with - and do not wish to. Needlesstosay my daughter will not be returning to your office. Perhaps if YOU had a daughter that was so so sick -- and had all the symptoms of lyme disease [which, BTW were stated in YOUR pamphlets] and could not be cured after 10 years of losing her life, your attitude would change.God Bless

She is the only one that found out what I had after seeing four doctors before her and she cares and takes her time.
