I became a patient of Dr. Krakower's in late 2003 / early 2004 after a recommendation from a friend (following a visit to a dreadful doctor in South Arlington). It was a decent drive for me to go see him, but worth it. He was always kind, considerate, and took the time to listen. I never felt rushed or judged. We moved out of the country in 2007 and last year I got a letter saying that he and his partner, for fiscal reasons, decided to join this plan where you pay extra to see them (in addition to your regular insurance and co-pays). There were some perks to this plan (including being able to email your doctor), but unfortunately that means I won't be able to see him when we move back to the NOVA area. This is the only reason I rated him 4 instead of 5 stars. In the past four years, I've tried to find a doctor who I feel as comfortable with as with Dr. Krakower, but haven't been able to. read more
