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 would recommend Dr. Jensen to everybody I know.
Dr. Jensen is a very caring doctor. He treats me and another member of my family. Although he sees a lot of patients, he is very personal and makes you feel like you are in good hands. I trust him and hope he will never retire.

I have been with Dr Jensen for 15 years. I have a complicated GI history and a lot of problems that have been hard to find solutions to. Dr Jensen has always been super supportive and continued to look for solutions to help me manage my chronic issues. Dr Jensen is always kind, compassionate, listens to me as an expert of my body and has a good sense of humor! Dr Jensen is an incredible doctor and human! He’s a 10/5! ??

His office has gone out of their way to get me needed medication at a moment's notice. I suffer from severe adhesions and abdominal scar tissue. They understand all the complications of this, and are treating me as the individual case I present.

I have been seeing Dr Jensen for 15 years and decided that I should write a review. I’m not sure what to think of his negative reviews but nothing could be further from the truth. If you want a professional, sincere and caring doctor then Phil Jensen is your guy. I have had a number of fairly critical medical incidents and Dr Jensen dropped everything he was doing to make certain that I was taken care of. Six stars!

I would like to correct some impressions made about Dr. Jensen on this website. I have been seeing Dr. Jensen for a number of years, in and out of the hospital. In each place I have found him to be pleasant, a good listener, willing to answer any questions, and provides informative information and directions, and he spends sufficient time with me. With all this being said, you can put this in your pipe and smoke it, “I’m not the best patient a Dr. has ever had.” I’m greatful that Dr. Jensen

Poor bedside manner. Lacks respect for patient trust, confidentiality, and privacy. He delivered good news to me in a way that made me feel more emotinally miserable than when I went in to do two procedures in an already phycally miserable state. THIS DOCTOR SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
