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.

Dr Kent is very honest, knowledgeable, thorough and explained everything even going so far as to draw a picture of his plan during surgery. Very nice man who seems to actually care and remembers his patients. Great bedside manner it’s very clear he loves his job and takes it very seriously!

Doctor does not believe in preventative medicine. He rushed my procedure, did not prescribe antibiotic to prevent sepsis, gave me a few leftover gauze pads and was then out of the room. Gone. Unavailable for post-op consultation. I will not return nor will I recommend.

Dr. Kent was very thorough in explaining my options for a surgical procedure I needed. He was patient with my questions and extremely friendly. He did an amazing procedure on me, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend him for general surgical procedures.

This was the worst and most unsettling experience I have had. I went to Dr. Kent on 07/10/17 to have hernia repair surgery on my belly button. He was very brisk and did not explain the procedure to me. After the surgery, when I saw my belly button I was shocked to find out that it was extended a quarter of inch past my body and looked deformed. So mush so, that I was advised to go to the urgent care clinic. Three months later, my belly button is deformed and the hernia is back.
