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.

Unprofessional and a complete disaster
Never again would I go to or recommend this office or doctor. Rude .... No consideration for patients. No bedside manner. Leaves you with no answers or help. No return phone calls. Front desk woman is rude and inconsiderate as the doctor which explains why she has a job. Two peas in a pod. I would never go to this doctor I would never recommend this doctor I would never tell anyone to go I would advise people to educate themselves. I know not every doctor is for every person and I respect that but I also feel that someone goes to a doctor when they are in need of care and kindness and consideration. If you do what you need to do as a patient then the doctor should be kind and help you as best as they can and if they feel that they can't help you they should direct you to someone who does not just drop the ball.

Compassionate and competent!
Dr. Kennar knows her stuff and takes her time to get to the bottom of every problem I've had. I credit her with my life. Other doctors I've been to will give you 5 minutes and don't listen to what I say. This has never been the case with Dr. Kennar whether it's been for a major surgery in the hospital or a small surgery in the office. I trust her more than anyone.

I had a minor office surgery with Dr. Kennar. Unfortunately when I went for follow up, she neglected to replace the steri-strips on the incision. 2 days later it came open. Her office was closed on Friday. Called on Monday. The wound had been open for 3 days,had healed over somewhat, and would no longer heal closed. I am left with a much bigger scar and a dent in the area. She took no responsibility and wanted to charge for the visit.
