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 Kensing is great at his profession. He actually listens and doesn't make the visit feel rushed . I've been a patient since 2018 and have zero complaints. Staff is also friendly and accommodating and so far the wait times have been very short .

The Best
Dr Kensing and his staff are the best! I have received kind, compassionate, and focused care from Dr Kensing. He was a lifesaver for me. After a bad experience with another gastroenterologist in another city, I got the care and answers to my health problems. Highly recommend!

The procedure was scheduled a few weeks after the office visit and was performed on time. Dr Kensing explained the results thoroughly, and he gave me verbal plus written recommendations.. The staff was friendly and professional, and made the experience less stressful.
