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.

Neck spine treatment - Steriod Injection
Dr. Kingma is a board certified doctor, highly skilled, and with vast experience. Spine injections are not without risk, and his abilities and experience are what you want for involved procedures. Dr. Kingma explained how the steriod injection treatment his office uses is superior to others. He provided a detailed medical briefing flyer on the procedure itself. He explained clearly causes for symptoms. Dr. Kingma's team was very kind and caring and supportive during appointments, procedures and follow-up check up's. Dr. Kingma can be direct, blunt, to the point at times. Expect straight forward expert answers. He is a kind man but do not anticipate coddling, or dancing around answers. This was appreciated with this type of condition and the procedure involved. He is very confident in his abilities and treatments and rightly so. I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Kingma, and my positive outcome was very much thanks to Dr Kingma expertise and experience, not luck!

Wonderful! I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Kingman, and he has already improved my mobility and relieved my back pain. For the last 3+ years, I could not stand straight and walk because of the pain in my back. Dr. Kingman is changing all of that. He is personable, informative and goes to great lengths to explain his diagnosis and procedures to correct issues. I feel greatly blessed to have found him.

I called this office because I have a contagious flu. I was not certain until I awoke with chills/fever/etc., today. Office policy is 48hr cancellation or you are charged w/a fee. My appt is tomorrow. I have cancelled appts at ev other medical service before today due to being sick & contagious, & thanked for not coming in ill. Not this office. I was past the deadline. I must pay a fee to reschedule & keep staff from catching my illness. Cannot afford it, so good luck staff. I tried.

Dr. Kingma has a great bedside manner. I've worked in healthcare for 40 years and have worked with a lot of doctors. He is very kind and re-assuring and you can tell that he cares. His Nurse Practitioner is also very nice and you can tell she cares. I am so happy with the care I've received at his clinic.

The office is poorly run. Calls for assistance, even when you are having difficulty with a medication, are not returned. Requests for Prior Authorizations not done. I have called the office at least four times, spoken with the nurse regarding a reaction to new medication and never heard back. This is not the way to take care of patients on strong pain medications. I decided to go back to my family doctor and the meds he could proscribe. Not worth having to drive 40 miles for this.
