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.

Seen Dr. Kimmey for years. Trust her explicitly. Never do I have a sense of her rushing to get me out. More than willing to answer all questions thoroughly in a manner a layman can understand. She shows real interest and concern over my general overall health not just breast health. Always reminds me to exercise. Makes sure I am scheduled for a mammogram and finally she reminds me to keep alcohol intake to 2oz a week ! I might occasionally disregard this advice and have 4 drinks a week rather than 2.
