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.

When no one else would listen after having a clear mammogram, Dr Kimmelstiel did. I needed an MRI as I just knew I had breast cancer. Dr. Kimmelstiel LISTENED, wrote the script and sure enough I was diagnosed with a Stage 1 aggressive tumor. He played an important, vital part in catching my cancer EARLY. Kim, his office assistant is FANTASTIC as well. Highly recommend this wonderful breast specialist!

I have been seeing him now consistently over 4 years. He diagnosed my breast cancer, recommended an AMAZING oncologist and has been supporting me medically ever since. He is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I am so thankful to have this doctor be part of my team.
