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.

Great doctor
I recently switched to Dr. Kinkhabwala. He is a great doctor--knowledgeable, responsive, attentive, courteous, kind, and impressive. I completely trust him and know my health is in excellent hands. For those of you looking for a doctor: he is not one of those who sits on the knowledge they acquired a while ago. He is up-to-date with recent research and developments. I highly recommend him!

Excellent Physician
Dr. Kinkhabwala has been my physician for probably 20 years, and I trust him implicitly. Knowledgeable and caring, he has never failed to diagnose me correctly and prescribe the proper treatment and medication. On top of that, he’s a man of character and warmth — you’ll never doubt his concern for your well-being. Trust me, you’ll feel better just by having seen him.

A caring Professional
The Dr saw me on an unscheduled appointment, when my PC wasn’t available. I was suffering with a terrible lower back spasm. He examined me and prescribed someMeds. However, he took the time to explain actions I should take to prevent future occurrences. He was very caring and spent a good deal of time with me.
