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.

Thorough, thoughtful, and professional. Very impressed.

if I could give Dr. Coyle no stars I would. If you have any type of chronic illness that requires care runaway from this physician. she seemed to miss something in medical school. Her staff is terrible and her inability to follow through with important testing and results is indescribable. As a matter of fact, I would avoid sunflower medical group altogether . The physicians are subpar at best. Additionally her medical credentials are extraordinarily underwhelming

I could not ask for a better physician! She goes above and beyond every single day for me. After moving back to the KC area, I found out my former physician was no longer available so I was stressed, started my search and found someone I like even better!!

Incredible Doctor
Dr. Coyle Hesson is the first doctor I have seen in years due to being uninsured. I had quite a few health concerns to discuss, and she took each concern and rolled with them. She asked lots of questions to make sure she understood exactly what I was feeling, and she was just very attentive in general. She really listened to my complaints and concerns and offered fantastic explanations, solutions and plans for each issue I listed for her. I never felt rushed, and honestly, I feel like I learned a lot in one visit! It did not feel awkward like most of my past visits with other providers have felt. She made me feel incredibly comfortable, heard, and validated, which is rare in today's medical settings. I already feel way more confident and in control of my health after just one visit with Dr. Coyle Hesson.

Wonderful ! She's the best PCP I've ever had. She makes me feel like I am the only patient she's seeing. Never rushed, listen, explains what she's going to do and makes sure you understands what she's doing and most of all spends enough time with you. She's wonderful.

Caring and thorough
Dr. Coyle is a thorough and caring provider. She really listens to my concerns. She has helped me get my health back in the right direction and I never feel judged like I have with other doctors. I have recommended her to my friends and family for primary care and am happy I have found a doctor who really cares about her patients. It definitely shows!

Wonderful Doctor!
I have been searching for a Dr. like her for about 10 years. Not only does she spend time explaining everything but she really LISTENS to me, and I find that so rarely in a physician!! She makes me feel like she is my partner in my health choices, and doesn't just TELL me, she actually discusses everything with me!! She is phenomenal and I am so glad I found her!

Outstanding Doctor! – Feb 28, 2022

Genuinely concerned and eager to help
She listens and doesn't talk over you. She goes over everything and makes it clear and doesn't act rushed. However, she has never listened to my heart and lungs or looked in ears. I am used to doctors doing that. Better doctors do even more. When I had serious health concerns I left messages for her with nurse line and didn't hear back several times. Not sure if that reflects on the doctor or office.

Horrible experience
Inattentive, rushed, dismissive and forgetfulness are good words to describe this physician. I don't know how she became a PCP with her lack of knowledge of medications. Didn't get the help I need and was chastised for trying to get it. She also couldn't even figure out what was wrong with me.
