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.

Dr. Kindley is rude, does not listen, and overall has terrible bedside manners. After years of GI problems, I was referred to her for some procedures. Afterward, she said the results were unremarkable and I should "come back when you have a real problem". Then she just walked out. I asked the nurse if she was always this rude and she said, "yes, she's an acquired taste". Furthermore, the Integris GI practice would not let me change doctors for a second opinion. I was told all their doctors are competent and if I didn't like it I could go elsewhere.

Dr Kindley is amazing. She found my cancer 6 years ago and stayed late on a Friday to meet with me and explain my treatment plan. She's a wonderful physician and spends as much time with you as you need. Simply, she's the Best!

Showed up for appt. and the receptionist said all of the docs spots were cancelled for the day without explanation. Said her next available was 2 months away!?! Awful ! Would never recommend to anyone.

DR. KINDLEY TOOK THE EXTRA TIME TO CONSULT w/ME ABOUT OTHER ILLNESSES THAT I MAY HAVE, DO HAVE, & HOW TO TREAT OR ELIMINATE EACH ONE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE UNIQUE EXEMPLARY HIGH QUALITY TREATMENT FROM A DOCTOR IN THIS FIELD AS w/ KINDLEY. HER DEMEANOR IS QUIET, SHE LISTENS, SHE HEARS, SHE RESPONDS w/REAL KNOWLEDGE TO HELP. KINDLEY DISCOVERED FURTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE IF NOT CARED FOR IN ADVANCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AS A REAL TRUE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. I AM 65.
