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. King is a very devoted physician ... excellent
After a normal annual exam, Dr. King goes over all the lab results in detail and explains the significance of everything that is not in a 'perfect' range.

Unhurried, empathetic
I had a lovely physical with him. I got to bring up numerous problems and we discussed them all. For over 20 years he's been my doctor and I love him.

Best Doctor in town
Dr King was so complete in his analysis of my test results. He also made several recommendations on issues i had. I have used him for years and will never change. He answers his cell on the weekends when I needed help. He really does care. A great man and doctor.

Most Caring Doc, EVER!
My husband and have been seeing Dr. King for about 20 years now and he's always been an excellent health care provider. Once he signed up to be a MD VIP doc, we were hesitant to sign up due to the high cost of membership. But, the amount of undivided attention he can now give us has made all the difference. He genuinely cares about his patients and goes above and beyond, each and every time. He's such a good listener and truly cares about his patients.

The BEST of the Best
I have been a patient of Dr. King for over 15 years, and I can confidently say that he has saved my life at least twice. At 70 years old, I have seen many healthcare professionals, but none compare to Dr. King.Dr. King’s thorough approach to diagnosis and treatment has always given me confidence in his recommendations. He takes the time to listen, understand, and address my concerns, ensuring that I receive the best possible care. His attention to detail and commitment to my well-being have been crucial in managing my health issues over the years.Beyond his medical expertise, Dr. King is compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients. It is not an exaggeration to say that without Dr. King's intervention and guidance, I might not be here today.

Dr. King has been my doctor for many years. He takes time with me, keeps me up-to-date on everything, and is kind and caring - everything I could ever ask for in my primary care doctor. Highly recommended.

'Dr. King: The Pinnacle of Patient-Centered Care'
From the moment I walked into Dr. King's office, I knew I was in for a different kind of healthcare experience. Dr. King's approach to patient care is unparalleled, truly embodying the highest degree of dedication and compassion in every interaction.Dr. King is exceptionally thorough in examinations and consultations, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to diagnosing and understanding a patient's condition. But what sets Dr. King apart is the genuine listening skills. It's evident that Dr. King values the patient's narrative, integrating their stories and concerns into the care plan, which is a rarity in today's fast-paced medical environment.What I appreciate most about Dr. King is the commitment to educating patients on lifestyle changes that can significantly impact their health. Dr. King provides actionable, clear, and supportive guidance on how to adjust daily habits for long-term health benefits. It's not just about prescribing medication; it's about empowering patients w

If you are healthy, go for it
He always responded quickly but was obsessive about explaining any normal delays. I know that my health requires a lot. I have repeatedly had to advocate for my health and self-direct. This is fine. Due to specialists not listening resulting in eye surgery and complications, I had a very dangerous slip in my health. Dr. King was not able to help me navigate the medical system. It fell on me. I repeatedly told him about the impacts but he was not concerned. I told him I was tired of fighting doctors. He said, 'maybe they are right.' When I found the right specialists, I was validated. Finally, I made a decision to not follow up with certain specialists that I had added because it was negatively impacting my life and health. Nobody else had said I needed them. Dr. King demanded that I followup for monitoring a low risk health problem. He refused to understand me as a person but rather only diseases. He then dropped me as a patient causing tremendous financial and medical damage.

Annual Wellness Program
On time, efficient, well documented screening, diagnostics and lab workups. Thoroughly reviewed and discussed my medical history and trends. Recommended treatment and medications but factored in my desire to go natural as an alternative. Concierge service and always responds to my medical questions immediately throughout the year.
