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 Kimmel is very professional and gave me the option of having a cortisone shot in my shoulder or trying physical therapy to see if that would relieve the pain. I chose the shot and within 3 days, the pain was gone. I would definitely recommend him to family & friends

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Kimmel was very personable, easy to discuss my issues with as he listened and responded when my comments were finished. As a first time patient, it seemed that I was welcomed and treated as one who had been there on more than one occasion (by the entire staff).

Saw Dr. Kimmel in the Rocky Hill office. The X-Ray technician was very pleasant and Dr. Kimmel was very efficient and answered all my questions. The receptionist was curt and distracted and left me with a negative first impression of the office. Fortunately, the rest of the staff overcame that negativity feeling.

Had rotator cuff surgery on 2/18, was golfing by late June, 2018, and now have no pain or limitations at all. My golf handicap went from 18.5 before surgery to 15.6 now. Left shoulder feels great with no after effects whatsoever. This was a 100% successful surgery.

I would highly recommend Dr Kimmel. He, as well as his PA, Alaina Miele, is extremely kind, understanding, listens, and is very knowledgeable. I have trusted him completely with my health care twice now. I also give 5 stars to his office staff, with extra kudos to Krystal, who was always willing to help with any questions regarding my visits.
