Joshua S. Krassen, DO, Allentown PA

Stay as far away from Krassen he was not forthcoming with fentanly withdrawal and long time issues for the rest of my life. I now have to take Buprenophine-nalox everyday or I'll go into withdrawal which I nearly died from going unconscious while driving

Saw him today for bulging discs in my back, didn’t even hardly acknowledge I was there, wasn’t speaking to me clearly, was impatient with my mom, wasn’t listening to my mom’s questions, was too busy joking with his med student to ask questions about my condition, didn’t take any time with us and he was very rushed. I am extremely dissapointed in this doctor. I reccommend seeing a different person if you can.

I just love dr krassen always so kind and understanding takes his time with me and addresses all my concerns i give him 10 stars if i could i have been a patient of his for about 3 years and will continue. Your the best Dr. Krassen

I have been a patient of Dr Krassens for 11 years. I was in a bad accident and had a crushed back from T11 through L2. It happened in 2006. I started seeing Dr Krassen in 2009. I went 3 years without a diagnosis on my condition. He diagnosed me. I am an incomplete paraplegic. Since that day he has treated me with respect and listens to what’s going on with me and does everything possible to treat me effectively. I highly recommend him.

Saw him for my back. Didn't give me any time or listen for questions. I don't know if it's because I'm on Medical Assistance right now but it's very cursory and not detailed. My first visit I tried to tell him about some x rays I brought (the support staff couldn't figure out how to display them). He asked what was found, I didn't know were to start because they showed all sorts of scoliosis and the beginnings of degeneration and arthritis (in some cases it was already there) it's been a long painful history (physically and emotionally). He dismissed it after I couldn't get out my first word (it was a lot to share) 15 seconds and just said "I can't imagine they found much at your age" and kept going. They found a lot at my age. He was not attentive at all, neither did he look at my body as a system.
A better doctor would have asked questions when I froze and not just breezed past it. He never spent more than 10 minutes with me, and the follow ups were likely only 5 minutes each time. My last visit he was checking my back, it popped loudly and painfully and he just ignored it and kept going. Didn't ask if it hurt, didn't leave an opening or invite for questions. The Physical Therapists were the real help. He basically just got me there. Still have some neck issues and such. Probably knowledgeable but his clinical care was not good.

Some of the Staff are superb, but Dr Krassen himself has been giving my fiancé the run around for way too long.he has a bulging disk and a severed disk and suffers from autism. Zero compassion from this doctor! I am Furious.btw dont expect him to help with an injury case.completely self absorbed!
