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 kitchen is a down to earth person. He takes the time to listen. He gives u options. Wonderful Dr.

Dr Kitchen is very knowledgeable. He is very caring. He explains what the problem is & how he plans on correcting. He listens to you & answers all your questions. He talks with you before & after a procedure if one was preformed.

Dr. Kitchen is one of the most professional and prominent people I have had the opportunity to meet and experience. His demeanor is one of a warm, and family atmosphere. He made me comfortable from the first moment I met him, with a smile and hardy handshake you’ll always remember. After my surgery he was there to answer all my questions, and also called my wife to answer hers
