Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Killens for 5 years. He is not a pill pusher like my former doctor. Through his guidance I have been able to manage several conditions with ease and great results. I really appreciate that he keeps it real. No sugar coating and to the point.

Robert Schlyer……...Dr. Killen is one of a kind and I am so fortunate to have found him. I have been a patient of his for over 12 years and he has always been on spot with diagnoses. Early on he spotted a cyst on my pancreas and I was referred to a top surgeon and I truly feel he saved my life. I will never go to another family physician. I have had many health problems lately and he has always been right on top of the and has made great referrals when needed. I would highly recommend him.

BEST FAMILY DOCTOR in Kansas City! Excellent disposition of character. And bedside manors. Great Listener, and genuinely focused on keeping your health on track. I have seen Doctor Killen for 25 years. (would probably be dead without him and preventative health checks). Colonoscopy with plops, 100% cured if you catch it. Very Pleased here.

There is a warm and friendly feeling when you walk inside this office, and everyone, from front desk to the doctor, takes the time to really listen. So much better than other places where you might feel like a number.

Dr. Darren is the most caring, compassionate, professional and kind physician I have ever encountered. When you are a patient of Brookside Family Medicine and Dr. Darren, you truly understand what it is to be cared for. He is a patient advocate and is the first to protect his patients, wherever their course of life takes them. Truly, there is no other PCP in this world that cares, treats and protects their patients more than Dr. Darren. He is truly a gem and worth his weight in gold!

I have been Dr. Killen’s patient for over ten years and would never consider going to another physician. He is very kind and thorough. Always spends an adequate amount of time with you answering any questions you may have about your current medical condition, test results and/or medications he has suggested for you. The office staff is also very willing to help with anything you may need also.

I have been seeing Darren Killen since I moved to Kansas City and found him a wonderful doctor and person to deal with. I can only say I'm assuming because of his success it takes longer to get an appointment which is disappointing, but hopefully that will remedy itself in the future. He is too good to leave over that.
