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. Jenkins is an excellent physician. I have been cared for by Dr. Jenkins for many years. He always takes the time to really listen to how I am feeling and discuss what can be done if I am having a medical issue. I would highly recommend him. His staff is amazing. I have a good relationship with he and his staff. I truly put my trust into him and have been very satisfied. Thank you so much Dr. Jenkins!!!! Thank you so much Barbara, Rita & Glenda. You all take good care of Ronnie, myself and many of my family members!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Jenkins for 25 years and absolutely trust his medical judgment. He is thorough, and truly listens to understand and remedy your health issues. If he prescribes medication, his staff will call you before you are out to see if your symptoms have improved. He does NOT over book his patients. In fact, his philosophy is to not take in too many patients as to prevent him for properly treating for those in his care. If I am sick, I usually get an appointment that same day.

Excellent... have been a patient approx 10 years... humble, thorough, compassionate, kind, considerate, and old fashioned,(but young). Truly has his patients best interest/health at heart, not just in it for the money. Dr. Jenkins personally calls you back with test/lab results himself... Excellent, excellent Doctor!
