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.

I’ve been seeing Dr Kellenberger for over a year now. He is a rarity in today’s fast paced healthcare. He took time to asked me questions & made me feel he really cares about my health. He assessed my requests for certain meds as I’m highly allergic to many and came through for me where others I’ve seen just pushed their meds no matter.

Excellent Caring Doc – Dec 13, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kellenberger?
Horrible! Went in for a weeping rash. He exclaimed ' I've never seen anything like this!' I expected him to pull out a Q-tip and petri dish. Hell NO! He sits tapping his prescription pad until I ask what he is thinking. He responds that he is trying to decide if he should treat me with an anti-biotic or steroid. And he has NO idea what the cause is!! He could have killed me.

Very thorough and did not rush my visit. Appreciated him seeing me at such short notice. Been looking for a new physician for myself. Will be seeing Dr Kellenberger in the near future.

Terrible staff, sub par doctor
Trying to talk to the doctor is impossible over the phone. Instead they just want more of your money for an in person appointment. I would go to a veterinary clinic before going back to Dr. Kellenberger.

I have been seeing Dr. Kellenberger for more than twenty years and have found him to be an excellent doctor in all ways. He is very caring and interested in my health and wellbeing. He is well informed and highly intelligent and motivated to do the best he can for his patients. He is very willing to refer his patients to a specialist if he feels that is warranted. Doctor Kellenberger absolutely cares about you.

My Mother went to this "doctor" with a large growth on her stomach and in pain. He never even looked at it and told her it was "probably" a hernia and there was nothing that could be done for it. He attributed her pain to arthritis and only wanted to give her pain meds which she refuses to take. He did no tests, did not look at the growth. His only concern seemed to be her ability to pay his ridiculously high prices. His lack of compassion makes me think he is in the wrong profession.
