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. Kjos always listens, always tries her best to figure out why something is wrong not just how to treat something, always friendly. Her nurse is very good and always remembers us and asks personal questions when checking us in. Sometimes takes two weeks to get an appointment as she has so many patients is only complaint

I was having trouble getting my child into the Pocatello Children's Clinic, and so made an appointment with Dr. Kjos. It was such a nice change, she spent time with us and really listened. I decided to make an appointment for myself with her for a general check up, and that also went really well. Now she sees my entire family.

Had an office visit with Dr. Kjos. Came in for 3 different issues with an extensive medical history at the office she currently works in. She ignored my medical history and tried very hard to push medication to mask the issues. Prescribed medications documented to not work for me and was not willing to listen to me as the patient. Seems very money hungry, very pushy and treats every medical problem as if it's a new issue that needs to be solved from the begining. Very rude and in a hurry.
