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.

The best in the business as far as I’m concerned
My mother is going through a bout with cancer. Dr Kimsey and his assistant Brittney are phenomenal. I understand in this line of business people can become numb and so easy to become numb to peoples heart ache but I’ve never felt this with any of his staff. They’re great people and we’re more than the 9am appointment to them. I can’t thank them enough for the way they’ve handled my mother’s illness. They’ve been the best part of this battle. I’d recommend them in a heart beat and have a had time believing the negitive review above. From the bottom of my heart thank you Dr. Kimsey, thank you Brittney, thanks to the staff up front! You guys are nothing short of amazing

Do not trust this man.
He will treat you like a number, nothing more. No compassion at all. Dr Kimsey told me I only had a 20% chance of living. He was very cold with me. His assistant left my chart open to which I decided to look at one day when I went in asking for help. He flat out lied in my chart saying he went over things that he definitely never mentioned to me prior to me agreeing to his overly aggressive treatment plan. Well, I made it and I am still here alive and kicking to remember how you and your nitwit assistant treated me. I hope she never became a doctor because she couldn't even tell me what type of cancer I had. All you care about is the money you make off of destroying people, and you know it.

Several years ago I was referred to Dr. Kimsey by one of the residents under his tutelage. I found him to be friendly, a true gentleman and a scholar. Now, having new symptoms, my first thought has been to consult with him and ask his advice. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to family and friends. HP

I went Dr Kimsey for treatment of rare rumor. He took time explaining the treatment plan and answered any questions I or my family had. He and his staff are very caring and excellent.
