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.

Was ignored, dismissed and neglected
My son has very frequent ear infection and disability linked to frequent ear infection. I came asking doc for solutions. He open a drawer and gave me sinus rinse. I pushed back highlighting disability caused by frequent ear infection and fact my son already has antibiotic reaction due to frequent use of antibiotics. I asked for ear tubes, doctor said he would need prior history with him of ear infections instead of …. for example asking me for proof of prior ear infections at minimum. I asked if we should do allergy tests, he said ‘sure’. I’ve never seen doctor that disinterested in conducting a screen or participating in a visit. Everyone has some bad days but it was massive waist of my time. Very disrespectful, disengaged.I’m a working professional with 2 children that need to take time off out of school and wait 2 months for this specialist!?! What about my PTO, time waisted for this? 2 months later, 2 more ear infections we are seeing a doc interested in my sons well being

Easy manner
Many times a doctor will decide what is wrong before you speak. Dr. Kennedy listens, confers with you, and offers rationale for treatment.

Very personable
I came in to have wax removed. We discussed an issue I had with tinnitus 6 months ago. This is nearly completely resolved with the reduction of daily aspirin intake. Hearing aids provided little relief as my hearing loss is low frequency. The hearing aids do not address the type of loss I have and were extremely uncomfortable.

Dr. Kennedy was a wonderful listener,who seemed interested in my concerns. He offered solutions and let me know that he or partners r on call and call when needed! He had a terrific bedside manner and when I had questions, I felt welcome to ask them all! Arrogance is not part of his personality at all!! He’s my favorite MD!

Took him 15 min for my visit. He took an unsanitary tool out of a drawer and placed in in my nose and when done placed it back in the same drawer. The receptionists took awhile to great me as they where talking about their own life situations, laughing and very inappropriate. I would not recommend this facility for the lack of service and sanitary tools.
