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 gentleman and physician.... Dr. Kinnett has done two surgeries on my hands. I expect to be having another soon. I really appreciate the care and consideration--and respect Dr. Kinnett displays. Despite the physical problems I have had with my fingers-I always leave his office feeling optimistic and looking forward to being out of pain. Previously, I went to another doctor here and was very disappointed in the treatment I received overall. Fortunately, I found Dr. Kinnett.
