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 Kenny conducted surgery for Trigger Finger on both ring and middle fingers on left hand. That was 2 years ago and fingers are great!

Broke my bad thumb. My second visit with Dr Kenny he told me that my thumb was looking good and healed. I told him I still have a lot of pain that when I pick things up I am in tears. He touched the top where it broke at and asked if I had pain I told him not there. He said I was fine. I explained to him about my past injury and that I am concerned I did something to it again. He brushed me off and told me to go back to my other hand doctor. And I will go back to my other doctor. It is worth the drive to go to someone that will actually care and listen to your concerns. I do NOT recommend Dr Kenny at all.

Saw Dr Kenny for a hand injury. Without x-rays or a MRI he determined that there was no damage to joints and no tension damage but couldn't explain why I couldn't bend my fingers and the cause of pain and swelling. He said he couldn't operate so there really wasn't anything that he could do but hand should get better. Two years later still struggling with injury

As I sit here today with my arm in pain I decided to leave my first 1 star review. Let me preface this by saying Dr Kenny did not perform surgery on me, I only saw him for an initial consult for thumb, wrist and arm pain (mainly thumb). Upon seeing him he went through the all the typical checks of my thumb, and during his exam I mentioned the pain was also in my arm and shoulder to which he asked "am I seeing you for your shoulder or your thumb?" I said my thumb I guess.. (no more room)..

I had never had surgery before, but felt very comfortable and at ease with the procedure. Dr. Kenny explained everything to me, which made me feel more relaxed and less anxious. Follow up appointments went just as good. All the staff there have always been polite and helpful.

Dr. Kenny did an amazing job when I broke my left ring finger. I am a chiropractor so my hands are very important. My finger healed well, and I got back almost complete function.
