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.

When I came into the ER I was experiencing a lot of pain and I was afraid. I didn’t know what was happening with my body. Dr Jeffrey Jenkins was on call that day and I was in surgery right away. His communication was excellent from the moment he assessed me until the moment I woke in recovery. I felt confident I was in good hands with him. His follow up since I’ve been out of the hospital and the communication his staff provides has been top-notch. When a Dr has been practicing a while it’s easy to forget that patients are often confused or frightened when they arrive in an emergency situation. Dr Jenkins was patient and took time to answer questions and make sure I was calm and ready to go into surgery. I’m healing quickly and expecting to make a full recovery! Thank you.

This Doctor was great. He explained everything prior to surgery and made me feel comfortable. The surgery went great and healing was a bit more painful then described. Pain was definitely worse then described though OTC did not cut it at all. But really a great Doc.

Doctor Jenkins is professional, thorough and thoughtful in his interactions. I chose to travel to be a patient of Doctor Jenkins when I learned of his stellar reputation for abdominal surgery. He clarified any aspects of my surgery and checked in with me prior to surgery. The surgery itself was successful; which meant enormous pain relief for me. At my two week follow-up visit after surgery, Doctor Jenkins gave very practical suggestions to help foster healing. Strongly recommend Doctor Jenkins.
