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 Kemp solved a tricky case
Dr Kemp is highly professional, skilled and attentive. I could not have asked for better surgical care. The pre and post operative care was well tended. All my questions were answered and instructions clear. She always took time during appointments to cover what was necessary and never rushed. Before leaving, her last words at every appointment ' Is there anything else I can do for you ?' I have never felt more sure and trusting of any medical person in my life. Her associate manager RN (Tina) was also very thorough, kind and gracious. The office staff did their jobs quite well, taking my calls and making appointments and follow ups. Thank you Dr Kemp and staff.

Hernia repair previously told to us not possible
For more than a decade, Surgery was contraindicated for Hernia repair for my brother Troy who has a very complicated medical history. After numerous repeat stays in various hospitals. Dr. Kemp stepped up and provided a path forward to repair the hernias that have plagued Troy for decades. Dr Kemp provided the family her vision, expectations and aftercare roles. I was provided assurances from both attending nurses as well as colleagues of Dr Kemps highlighting their confidence in her abilities to tackle difficult cases with great success. I am elated to report that she exceeded what I thought was possible and repaired the hernias and improved my brothers life. Troy, myself and the rest of our family will be eternally grateful for her care, compassion and expertise. She has been a Godsend to our family. Thank you Curt

Dr. Kemp has drastically improved the quality of my life following surgery. You do not just get a great surgeon, you get a good care team with Dr. Kemp. The front desk people do not keep me waiting when I arrive and they are happy to see me every time. I had a Robotic Assisted Heller Myotomy with partial Fundoplication on May 22, 2019 as treatment for Achalasia. I did my homework before hand and found that Dr. Kemp has done this procedure over well 50 times and does them every year. This was great news since what I could find shows better results with more experienced surgeons and Dr. Kemp has checks in both of those boxes. She kept me from a needless test before hand and was very thorough with the prep for my surgery. She took the time to explain what she could and could not do for me and she had a backup plan too. I almost forgot how it feels to be well but Dr. Kemp has me on the right track! I do not know how to say thank you enough for that gift.

Doctor Kemp was both very competent and caring! She answered all of my questions in a very understandable way and did not rush me. She took into consideration some unique features of my case and made me feel comfortable with an upcoming procedure that is necessary prior to my surgery. Dr. Kemp displays what is missing in much of medicine these days-compassion!

I can not recommend Dr. Kemp highly enough! She was the absolute most compassionate and kind doctor I have ever visited. Although I only had a routine procedure, she was very thorough and attentive. She explained everything in such an effective manner and I felt that she saw me as a person, not just another patient. She listened to all my concerns and treated me with true compassion.

Dr. Kemp is very thorough in all of the procedures I have encountered with her. She was the emergency surgeon when I had a ruptured appendix... turned into a rare cancer. She worked as a team member with the North Memorial Oncology team throughout my continued care.

If you were concerned about my safety, you would have listened to me when i asked you to sedate me how the prior doctor did. It went perfectly with the prior doctor. When i woke up and pulled the scope out, my esophagus spasamed and the monitoring chip placed in my esophagus fell out hours after you placed it. I asked you on two different occasions, to sedate me properly. Don't try to make yourself look as if you cared about me. the only thing you seemed to care about is your arrogance.

dr kemp performed an upper GI on me. i requested in her clinic and immediately before my procedure to be sedated the same way i had been three years prior by a different doctor, she refused. i woke up in the middle of the procedure in pain, and pulled the scope partially out. it was a very scary, painful experience. she did not listen to me AT ALL. she is arrogant and i felt she did not protect me as a patient. i would not recommend her to anyone.
