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.

I love Dr kimmelman and his staff. Yes I remember in the early years when I first started seeing him wasn't the best at keeping scheduled appointments due to possible over scheduling but that's my only complaint. He is most knowledgeable very honest caring and sincere. Unfortunately I am an injured worker of almost 15 years with more surgeries to come but not because Dr kilman delayed any treatments.. only due to the insurance company delayed but still delays my medical treatment but Dr kimmelman has always come to bat for me and still has my back to this day and cares about me, my Rehabilitation pain management. Thank you Dr kimmelman and staff

First time I went to see Dr. Kimelman, I already felt comfortable because he was warm and friendly but more than that, he fully assessed me, checking range of motion in my upper extremities, checking level of pain on performing activities. My former Workmen’s Comp doctor would just prescribe medications but Dr. Kimelman, in addition to medications, has used other treatment modalities like trigger point injections, physical therapy, Lidocaine patches, cervical traction and tens unit. He shows real concern for the patients by appealing to the insurance adjuster for patient’s needs. He has very helpful and highly knowledgeable medical staff. I am hoping that Dr. Kimelman will be my doctor for a very long time, now I have known what it’s like to go to a concerned physician!

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Kimelman. I went in for an EMG Test. Him & his staff were very knowledgeable & friendly. I was scared to death to take this test but they put me at ease & the test went very well.
