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.

Untrustworthy. Pay close attention to any bill you receive from this man. Referrals made an appointment with Dr. Kahmke's office. I waited for over 40 minutes, was called back and then told by Dr. Kahmke that referrals had made a mistake. He assured me that he would schedule me with the correct doctor and that I would not be charged. I received a bill and he lied saying that he had given me a complete examination. 15 months later, I received another bill for the procedure he never performed!

I had my first visit with Dr. Kahmke. He had a great bedside manner and was very reassuring and informative. He was very thorough in his exam and took great notes. I felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to anyone.
