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.

Who is giving this man good reviews? I went there three years ago because I have severe arthritis in my knees. I was having horrible problems with my right knee. Long story short, he wouldn't give me a surgery I needed. I had no quality of life. I wasn't able to walk at times. He told me it's not worth getting the surgery because it may not work. I ended up getting the surgery from another Dr. Great results. Too much to write in here but he is pretty incapable to me.

I highly recommend Dr. Kennard. He mild- mannered, has a good sense of humor, and a wealth of experience. I trust him and he is always straight-forward with my treatment options. He has good support staff too. RN Helene and Holly, who coordinated my knee injection schedule, are both compassionate and efficient. I'm impressed. Two offices is plus...Manahawkin and Toms River.

I have recommended Dr. Kennard to people I know and at least one of them is a patient of Dr. Kennard's. I have to have a left knee replacement, Dr. Kennard tried the three shots in one as I could not have surgery at that time due to financial issues. It was great for approximately 3 weeks; I had no pain not even a throb, needless to say that I was very happy with the results. Unfortunately for me after approximately three weeks, then the aching began and subsequently, the pain full force.
