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 Kent was so thorough in explaining everything that would be occurring during my lymph node biopsies. He asked my husband and I if we had any questions and then he answered them for us.

Worst medical experience ever.
See my Google Review for full details. I became extremely ill after surgery and a week later another surgeon had to repair a port site hernia that Dr Kent created. It was an emergency surgery after 1 trip back to his office and 2 trips into the ER and Dr Kent conveniently on vacation. Thankfully, the other surgeon figured out what was wrong and while he was a traveling surgeon, he's the only one that offerred an apology for what I was going through. I understand that mistakes happen, but this was beyond acceptable. Especially considering the giant bill I now have due to an additional surgery and hospital stay. There's many surgeons out there. Pick one that doesn't make mistakes with your life!

He made me feel comfortable as soon as he walked into the exam room. He was very clear about what was going to happen before/during/after my endoscopy. If I needed a regular gastroenterologist, I'd pick him without hesitation.
