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 had an appointment scheduled for 3 months. They called me two weeks before to tell me she would now be on vacation and the next appointment was in 2 months. Zero regard for patients health.

Amazing Care
I have multiple autoimmune issues. Dr Kennish always takes her time and really cares. She addresses all of my concerns each and every time.Always tries to find a solution that can help. Takes her time with me at each appointment. I am not the type of person comfortable with doctors and she makes me feel at ease. The office staff is wonderful, get's back to me almost immediately each time I needed an answer to any concern. If you are looking for a rheumatologist that really is up to date on treatments and truly shows concern, you should consider Dr. Kennish.

Excellent. She discovered an issue with my immune system that has evaded other physicians for years. Thorough and listens.

I am a 56 year old woman and I have a long family history of osteoporosis and psoriatic-arthritis. My hands and wrists are started to get those huge painful nodes and its also starting in my feet, back, hips, neck and sacroiliac. Dr. Kennish told me that there is no cure, we can take an xray "if I want" and I should take as much advil as I can handle along with a vitamin. Told me try arthritis gloves. Almost zero eye contact & she was typing like a banshee the entire time. Smug.
