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.

Observations of a Retired Physician
Dr Kimbrell is exceptional. Very knowledgeable and attentive to the patient’s concerns. Stays up to date on new developments in the field of medicine and able to bring an old school approach to listening to the patient. Excellent bedside manner. Thorough in his questioning and exam. Works well with his nurse, who is also excellent. Office runs smoothly. Very happy to claim him as my doctor.

Happy and pleased patient
I’ve only been seeing Dr. Kimbrell for a little over two years, but my experience has been exceptional. I was nervous about finding a new physician who would provide the same level of attentiveness and expertise as my previous doctor of over 15 years . However, from my very first visit, Dr. Kimbrell and his staff made me feel comfortable, heard and well cared for. I highly recommend his service. He is very professional, kind, and dedicated to his patients’ well-being. I totally trust him with my healthcare needs. I am fortunate to have found such a great doctor, and I look forward to continuing my care with him and his team.

I last saw Dr. Kimbrell on a scheduled check up. He has been our family doctor for around 12 years. He is always very knowledgeable about the latest research, and medical technology and breakthroughs. Is willing to go where the data leads. Is proactive in seeking remedies and therapies for his patients. He’s an excellent physician.

Dr. Kimbrell has been my PCP since 1993. I love him and his practice. He listens and has compassion, empathy and intelligence. A former girl now growing into my senior years, I couldn’t ask for more.
