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.

This was my first visit with Dr. Kimmey. I found him to be a very good listener, knowledgeable, and kind. He offered various options of treatment and his best advice for moving forward. I felt like I was in good hands.

Misdiagnosed both me and my mother. Missed GI Cancer in my mom that may end up costing her life. A family doctor ended up picking up on it after it had already spread. Does not listen to patients or take them seriously.

I Started seeing Dr. Kimmey probably thirteen year's ago after being sent to the univirsity of washington, for tests, over and over again, by group health, I was sick! My quality of life was zero! He gave me back my life! He was honest! And when he was leaving the UW, he told me what I needed to do to stay healthy! And what not to do! And I listened! He is the most amazing Doctor I have Ever met! TRUST HIM!
