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.

Dr. Jensen is a great surgeon. My child did not have any complications after surgery.

The worst of the worst. My daughter still has complications from surgery performed by Dr. Jenson. When we informed him about the complications, he wanted nothing to do with us!!! He is arrogant, rude and self serving, Go anywhere else.

Dr. Jensen saved my daughter's life. She was born with a rare birth defect (Hirschsprung's Disease) at the area's top rated hospital and he was able to come to her, perform surgical tests, and diagnose her condition. She was then transferred to Children's where he was able to perform the surgery. He followed her for the next several years monitoring her condition. Yes, he is personality is lacking but he saved my daughter's life. He is a brilliant and skilled surgeon.

Dr Jensen definitely has a dry sense of humor and a deadpan delivery, but he is a brilliant surgeon. He saved my son’s life, basically. He performed 3 major surgeries on my son in his first year of life and my son has healed amazingly. I would recommend his practice to anyone! His staff and nurses are so kind and caring.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered with a doctor. He has terrible bed -side manner and gives you the impression that everything you say is stupid when it pertains to the health of your child. My experience in brief is as follows: Dr. Jensen enters exam room, does not greet us looks at paper and proceeds to ask us if we were the people he seen before asking crazy questions about a surgical procedure. I told him no and he proceeds to explain how assinine people are.
