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.

He is one of the best doctors I’ve seen, my first 2 surgeries ever and he was very thorough. Very kind to me and knew exactly what his game plan was as we went.

Went into the ER with abdominal pain and a previous CT that showed appendicitis (I left the ER the first time because of patient care), but this time even though the wait was sort of long all providers and nurses were very informative and did their checks like they were supposed to. I was introduced to Dr Kabithe shortly before they moved me to a private room. He was kind and gentle, actually listened when I spoke - just talked to me like he would a friend and I really appreciate that. Many doctors I’ve been to are so cold and mechanical (which I get is part of training but y’all are still people). Truthfully couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. At post OP he explained exactly what happened and what I needed to do next (so did his nurses!) I’ll admit, I call Jennie Stuart the dog pound - but this experience was nothing like my previous ones. Highly recommend.

I was really impressed with him. I went in with a cyst and pain on wed and he performed surgery on me the next day. I could not have asked for a better or more nice and understanding surgeon. He also has an excellent nurse Cricket they are both great at there jobs and caring for patients

Dr. Kabithe was extremely knowledgeable about my husband's condition. In addition to his professionalism and skill, he was also very personable and caring. It's refreshing to have a surgeon who has exceptional skill and a personality to match! I'd highly recommend him!

Love this surgeon! in Hopkinsville, Ky – Nov 22, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kabithe?
I have been having some medical issues and my doctor referred me to this very rude and poor excuse for a doctor. He did not even examine me. I told him my problems and he basically told me to just get over it. I would never recommend going to this uncaring doctor.
