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.

So happy I went there
My experiences with the Kimmel Institute have been very positive. The receptionists, Christina and Ingrid, were both polite and helpful. Gloria was friendly and helpful, too. Melissa, Dr Kimmel's assistant, was very professional, caring and explained what was happening throughout the procedure. Dr Kimmel was both kind and extremely adept.I would recommend the Kimmel Institute for any vascular procedures.

I had been sick for months. Had seen more doctors and taken more tests than i had ever wanted to in my life. I walked into Dr kimmel's office and he knew just by looking at me what was wrong. I was in surgery a few days later and can honestly say the Dr kimmel saved my life. Dr kimmel is a great doctor. He's intelligent.. Caring.. And listens to what you say. He has a great sense of humor and is simply the best surgeon I've ever had. Thank you sir. It's been 20 years but I've never forgotten.

Prior to getting the vein removal procedure done,we discussed during the consultation how one vile(2cc)would be $325.This would be enough to use on two small areas of both legs,as they told me,for a few very small and shallow spider veins.Over half way into the left leg, they asked me where I would like them to put the rest of the injection.I said to them,Aren't we going to do the small area on the right leg?Her response,We don't have enough for that area.(Limited characters,can't write more

I highly recommend Dr Kimmel. His office staff were very friendly and helpful. Making an appointment was easy. I did not have to wait to see the doctor. The procedure I had took two days and I felt it was very professional and was made as pleasant as possible. I feel that I made the correct decision having Dr Kimmel and his wonderful staff correct my vein issues.

Never recommend...office staff is rude and extremely inappropriate...Dr. Kimmel is a money monger...bleeds patient and insurance for worthless visits. The doctor is too good to meet the patient directly but uses ancillary staff to perform tests for which he should be present to answer patient questions or direct procedural irregularities. He runs a dog and pony show and he's the ringmaster. Buyer beware.
