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. Kennedy is very thorough and professional. Plus, he is personable and very interested in his patient’s eye and overall health. Excellent doctor.

Dr. Kenney was great but the girl checking me before he arrived seemed inexperienced. She was very nice, but had difficulty doing her job.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kenney for close to 30 years (yikes !) and have nothing but complete respect and confidence in him ( and his staff).

Soft spoken, yes. In medicine, knowledgeable, skilled, concerned, yes. As I was going through 2 cataract surgeries, he answered all my questions, even the silly ones. I believed that I was being cared for by one of the best. The outcome was amazing. Post-surgery my vision is 20/20. Pre-surgery my vision was 20/400, i.e. hold your finger very close to my eyes if you want me to see it. I will enthusiastically recommend Dr. Kenney to anyone.
