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 was tired of my previous long term physician that was never available when I became sick. I was referred to Dr. Jennings on one of those occasions. I selected Dr. Jennings after seeing him the first time He made that much of a positive impression on me. He has been very personable and listens to my issues and has batted 100% on taking care of my medical issues.

I've been seeing Dr. Jennings for about five years now. Before seeing him I had been through several others that I was unhappy with for one reason or another. Long story short: I had begun to lose hope and trust in any doctor and had stopped going to them altogether. When my health began to fail, I had no choice and had to find another. I am so glad I found him because he is so very kind and caring. He has helped me with proper diagnosis (finally) that has led to my much improved health and wellbeing. He takes his time with me and listens carefully to all of my questions and needs. He explains everything to me very thoroughly and if I don't understand, he treats me with compassion and takes the time to explain more thoroughly. I never feel rushed with him. I wouldn't go to anyone else.....EVER. He's absolutely the very best. :)

I have seen Dr. Jennings for the past five years and he has been wonderful. He has helped me get my diabetes under control and has always been very attentive to my needs when I come in.

The truth is I would not take a corpse to this uncaring condescending awful representative of the medical profession . When HOSPICE SUGGESTED we take my mother to see him to authorize an iv (she hadn’t eaten or had fluids in 48 hours due to massive congestion in her airways ) he would not let us complete a single sentence. Just repeatedly said “aren’t we on hospice?” Clearly he and hospice need to figure stuff out ... because being talked in a rude manner s not part of the deal !

He refused to help me and would not refill prescription for me. All he did was send me elsewhere.

My husband and I both see Dr Jennings together. He has a great personality. We both trust him. He's made us feel comfortable since our first visit 2 years ago

I wouldn't suggest Dr. Jennings. He made a person trying to get medication feel like a criminal. He was unfriendly, didn't listen to anything that was told to him and frankly was condescending. The staff is always kind and helpful but this physician was a deal breaker for me.

My wife and I both come to this office and the girl at the desk Britney is consistently rude and have caught her in numerous lies. Have talked to the office manger and reported. I have watched her treat everyone like your a Medicaid patient or one cow out of a whole herd. Real professional Brit! Good luck.
