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.

Excellent expert provider
Dr. Kimmerly has a caring bedside manner and offers his full attention during office exams. He has been a helpful and supportive resource to our family for years with my daughter’s periodic injuries as a competitive athlete. We fully trust his expert medical and treatment advice.

Dr. Kimmerly assessed a plan and my preparedness to rerun to skiing post surgically. I left feeling confident and reconnected. He also diagnosed a soft tissue injury that thankfully required no intervention.

Dr. Kimmerly, Extraordinaire
Dr. Kimmerly is smart, professional; very impressed to see a poster that states Dr. Kimmerly is a US Olympics medical staff to the Olympians. Wow! He is a great listener, diagnosed my condition, gave wise, practical advice about my right shoulder. I felt comfortable asking questions and receiving his medical attention. The entire staff is awesome. Dr. Kimmerly is a keeper. Yes!

Excellent Physician
As a physician myself, I can offer nothing but good reviews for Dr Kimmerly. He is very personable with an excellent bed side manner and a willingness to discuss your diagnostic and treatment options in detail. While speed of service may not be optimal in todays medical system, Dr Kimmerly will do everything in his power to move your treatment expeditiously.

I am active 48 yr old and have a torn ACL - it’s my goal to be as close to pre-tear as possible, if not better. Dr Kimmerly and his team have developed a top-notch plan to execute on for my surgery and subsequent recovery goals.

Meniscus Tear
Professional friendly staff. Timely and efficient care was provided. Dr. Kimmerly explained injury and plan. He injected knee gently and with no problems. I would like to have seen x-rays with explanation during visit. I would have liked paperwork to complete prior to visit - mailed, emailed or completed on-line.

I was able to get an appointment on the same day as calling, which is AMAZING for any medical appointment! Dr.Kimberly was extremely honest and open about my options and answered all of the questions and even posed some for us to consider. Highly recommend him. The office staff, his assistant and the X-ray tech were all welcoming and professional! Overall great place!
