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 physician, very easy to talk to.
Dr. Skinner is an excellent physician and is easily understood with a real concern for his patients. I would rate his service and practice as exceptional.

First visit
Today was my first visit with Dr. Skinner. He was very kind, informative, and thorough. He listened to my symptoms and concerns and took them seriously. I had three test done today rather then having to schedule them and continue to come back. He took care of my Grandfather and my Father. And did a wonderful job with them as well.

Dr Skinner did a heart cath on me and discovered I had two major blockages. I’m so greatful that he intervened and has helped me feel so much better by putting two stints. If he had not have fo e this? I was very close to having a heart attack. He’s the best!

Dr Skinner has been an exceptional cardiologist who has helped me since being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a cardiac physician for their management of any heart problems. I drive past many hospitals to be in Dr. Skinner's care at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington, Ky. I am grateful to have him be my cardiologist.
