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.

Personal & Professional
Dr Kenny is from the old school style of Dr's. He believes in connecting with his patients while also allowing the time needed to listen, assess and address all of your medical concerns related to your visit or follow up. He goes over changes you may have experienced since your last visit as well as changes he has noticed in routine blood work. All of his staff adore him for his care and concern for them as well. I had a conversation with his nurse on 10/18/2022 and she spoke of his kindness and compassion with the utmost respect. Thank you for your Personalism and Proffesionalism. It does not go unnoticed!

Tips on how to be a great doctor
As always my visit with Dr. Eric Kenny went very good. Dr. Kenny is a very personable individual that genuinely cares about his patients and engages in conversation outside the normal realms of the medical visit and takes interest in you as a person not just a patient.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kenny for more than 12 years to treat my rheumatoid arthritis (RA). His treatment and prescribed medications have resulted in eliminating my RA symptoms and allowing me to participate in activities like golf, fishing, hunting, and pickleball. Dr. Kenny has a friendly manner and has always taken the time to discuss my illness and to answer questions. He is responsive to emails from me requesting prescription refills and answers to questions. My last visit was for a 4-month review. I was seen at the scheduled time and his staff was efficient and friendly. The lab results from my blood work were posted the afternoon of my appointment and the next day. I recommend Dr. Kenny to anyone requiring the services of a rheumatologist.

Dr. Kenny has helped immeasurably in identifying the best course of treatment for my arthritis and for keeping me on the straight and narrow. My quality of life has improved and remained at a much higher level since I began going to Dr. Kenny and Ortho. I have recommended others to consider using these folks, as a result, and would recommend Dr. Kenny to anyone in need of a rheumatologist.

This was a follow up appointment. Dr. Kenny was knowable to my case. He was through in asking my concerns since my last visit with him, which was 4 months ago. He discussed his plan of care, & what labs I needed checked this visit. I felt well cared for. My lab results were available to me on Ortho VA website later that day.
