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.

Excellent!
He handled an emergency gallbladder surgery and I was in immense pain when I arrived at ER. He was able to handle the surgery yesterday morning and it went very well. So glad Mercy SW had Dr. Kay on call.

My husband has been a patient of Dr. Kay twice now. He is professional, kind, has a great bedside manner, and most importantly truly cares about his patients. We are truly grateful for the care Dr Kay provided each time.

Dr. Kay was very good at handling my father who could be obstinate and a bit assertive at times. When I needed surgery he was first on my list and was fun to kibbitz with. Lord willing it won't be necessary BUT if the time comes for additional surgery, Dr. Kay will be FIRST on my list.
