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.

Dr. Kuykendall repaired my Mitral valve in 2010. At the time I was aerobically fit after many years of exercise. He not only saved my life after I went into congestive heart failure but returned me to every day, normal life. It is now 2019 and I'm going strong as ever in my aerobic training. I'm 76 years old. This gentleman is a sharpshooter with a scalpel in one hand, a book of kindness in the other and a smile on his face every time I talked to him.

Doctors skills are very good but office management is a total failure. Multiple cancellations and you must follow up or nothing will happen.

Dr Kuykendall is an excellent surgeon that has great bedside manner and concern for his clients. When I brought up an issue with some evening personnel at the hospital, we conferenced in with the supervisor and discussed the issue so that actions could be set up to minimize any re-occurrence happening. While I .can't say I enjoyed the experiences with the surgery, I could not have asked for a better Cardiac team than I has.
