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.

A truly great MD!
At a time when most doctors are rushed and busy. Dr. Kennish is a true find! He is knowledgable, caring and always takes time to explain things.

One of the best doctors in NYC.
Dr. Kennish is a wonderful doctor. He’s been my doctor for 25 years. His office staff, however, can be moody and often rude.

I have been patient of Dr Kennish for 10 years. He is a good doctor,but I have never experienced such unprofessional manners toward sick patients.The way they respond to patients request is so rude and hostile,no compassione,no cooperation with patients complaints or request. Recently they are not even taking messages if doctor left the office,I spoke to the doctor and he promised they will do better and even allow his manager to address my complain,but she confirmed to me again that they do not take any messages without doctor being in the office,She implemented that policy. Unfortunately doctor has no say in this office. I do not even know how to react to that anymore. His specialty is cardiology,you imagine if you really have emergency situation.I will probably will have to find another doctor,In my observation his office is really does not care

He nearly killed my father over 20 years by mis diagnosing the results from an echo which led to his death following triple bypass and valve replacement. Avoid him like the plague.

Dr. Kennish had been my doctor for 36 years. He saved my life at least once, maybe twice, with his accurate diagnoses, quick response, fantastic referrals, and his caring attention. He explains everything fully. If I could give him ten or more stars I would. I have never come across a doctor as good as he is.

I am fortunate to have Dr. Kennish as my doctor for over 15 years. When he chose to offer concierge services, I immediately signed up. Besides his wonderful manner, his understanding and empathizing with his patients is a doctor with a broad range of knowledge who is great at diagnosing a broad range of medical issues. He is my gatekeeper to his wide network of other doctors, who most have told me use Dr. Kennish as their personal physician. No higher tribute. May G-D grant him many more years!
