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.

Would leave zero stars if I could
Never have I experienced a more condescending, rude man.

Believe his low rating. It's earned.
After waiting 45 minutes past my scheduled basic med physical for flying, I asked for an ETA on getting my physical, and I'm told they don't know how to handle it and that Dr. Kent asked them to call the FAA to find out what to do. I had given them the heads up before scheduling, I was assured they could handle it, and clearly they had no clue. The sad thing is the instructions for completing the physical are literally in writing by the FAA on the paperwork I handed them. Beyond that it's clear this facility is a worker's comp mill. I can't imagine why anybody would go to this facility for any other reason.

I have been to Drs Care and seen Dr Kent several times and have always found him to be caring and knowledgeable. I consider him one of the finest doctors I know.

Dr. Kent was and absolute jerk to me when is was injured and visited Drs. Care. He really walks the line on "do no wrong line". I will rate him 5 stars for ego and 1 star for bedside manner. I pray that this new Gateway stepdown ER puts a beating on Drs Care.

I'm not sure if Dr. Kent as I did not wait around long enough to see him. The waiting room and facility was absolutely disgusting. Every single corner had dead bugs and I was forced to stand in a corner where a large spider had been squished to the floor. The tiny room smelled horrible and it became very clear that I did not want to seek any medical attention from a Dr or staff that would allow a facility to be maintained in that manner. I will never go back to any Dr'S Care facilities.

I was very impressed with dr. Kent and I do not impress easily. If I could have him as my primary doctor I certainly would. I am an elderly woman and have had many Dr. Very few of them has shown the compassion and kindness that Dr Kent did.
