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.

Kimberly Dean has been my primary doctor for over 30 years, I just can't say enough. She gone above and beyond to to deliver all the best of care for what ever my medical needs have been. All my questions have always been answered in a way that I can understand and she has taken the time to explain all of options. Mary her PA has assisted with putting together the very best team for all my care providers, including testing, labs, refills and referrals.

I have been going to Dr. Dean since 1994 and even visited her each year when I lived overseas. She is a talented diagnostician, using common sense. She keeps up with the latest research, and, above all, is compassionate and kind. You never feel rushed. The staff is great, too.

I was feeling really bad before my appointment .w/ Dr. Dean. My finger got infected but I also was coughing a lot, which I just thought it was GERD. Dr Dean script me Antibactrical and within two days I was feeling so much better and the infection on my finger cleared up right away. Also I suddenly quit coughing all night. She listened and knew what to do for me and I am so grateful to have her for my Doctor. Thank You Dr. Dean :)

Dr. Dean was my doctor from the time she was a resident working for Dr. Brigette Bellingar, until 2014, 20 or more years. I stayed with her even when my insurance didn't cover her. In 2014, I had an Abdominal Aortic Anurysm . She referred me to Dr. Fansler for treatment. I went into Largo Med on 9/3/14 for a AAA repair. (24-48 hour recovery). I left the hospital 54 days later. Never during the 54 days did she visit me once. I knew then she didn't give a darn so I found a new doctor after 25 yrs.

She was my doctor for many years. When I was 16, she made me feel very uncomfortable during yearly gynecology exams, even going as far as to chastise me for being tense. She's a good doctor, but sometimes can make you feel like you are not her top priority.

She has been our family Dr since 1993. We all adore her. She is most compassionate Dr I've ever known. I always feel calm, assured and trust her judgement 100%. She has always responded quickly, always listens to me when I'm there which is very important to me . And very intelligent Dr. We couldn't be happier with a Dr. I would highly recommend her and other Drs in practice. The staff wonderful, kind and always gets back to me quickly. Very kind. The other Drs in practice are great.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dean to family, friends and complete strangers. Friendly, compassionate and reassuring. At 51, I've had many doctors, she is the best by far. I'm going to move out of town in the next year or so and will travel back just so that I can keep her as my doctor.
