Before joining MCH, Dr. Krant served as Rheumatology Section Chief for Memorial Health System in Marietta, Ohio, and was Chairman of Medicine for Adirondack Health Systems.

He was the President and CEO of Berkshire Rheumatology Associates in Pittsfield, MA for decades, among other clinical leadership positions.

A Note from Dr. Krant

“I prefer to adopt a holistic perspective in patient care, whether it be a combination approach to inflammatory polyarthritis (NSAIDs, DMARDs, Biologics, glucocorticoids) or behavioral change incorporating weight reduction, gabapentinoids, SSRIs and other adjuvant therapies used to change self-perception and pain thresholds which are life limiting. I work closely with the other medical specialties including dermatology, pulmonary and renal medicine, and emphasize clear communication and appreciation of alternative approaches to problem-solving. I look forward to serving the Monadnock Region.”
