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.

I've been pushed around from doctor to doctor and he's the only one I've felt really took the time to listen and investigate.

Having worked at Mayo Clinic for 18 years and received my care there I know what quality healthcare looks like. In St Louis, for primary care, it looks like Ken Brightfield. True and sincere care, gentle and firm. You feel as if there is no other patient he cares for other than you. Experience and knowledge. Ken is the best I’ve ever seen.

Dr. Brightfield cares and is extremely knowledgeable. He has a quiet, calm way about him that let's you know it will be OK. When things are out of his expertise he does not hesitate to send you to a specialist who will get to the bottom of it. Dr. Brightfield is top notch!

Dr Brightfield is the most conscientious and knowledgeable Doctor. He listens and ask questions to help solve your health issues. He follow ups when you have any tests taken, and will explain their results. Never have to wait, always punctual, so very considerate. His office staff is also kind and caring. If you are looking for a new doctor, I highly recommend him.

My wife has been a patient of Dr. Brightfield's for some time now. When we first came to the area, it was difficult to find a good primary care provider. Our first experiences with others were not positive (evaluation based not just as a patient but a health care provider as well). Then came Dr. Brightfield! He is not only well qualified from a medical point of view but truly, truly cares about his patients and does everything he can for them as well as working well with specialists.
