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.

Heart Catheter
Kennedy did a heart Cath. Results were positive. But whom ever was assigned to putting pressure or compression on the entry site should be fired. They allowed blood to escape under the skin, resulting in huge black and blue Srotum and testicular the size of a large grapefruit and most of all ,very painful! Again it was at Trident and they were doing just what Triden is famous for( long waits for anyone to tell you anything.

Cannot contact the doctor if you have a problem, and cannot get a timely appointment. If you are comfortable with getting your care from Emergency Room doctors, then by all means, choose Dr. Kennedy as your cardiologist. Sad, because he is a good doctor and probably doesn't fully realize -- although I've told him and he has apologized -- that his office staff makes him so inaccessible.

Dr. Kennedy is very concerned with issues and has extremely valid remedies for any cardiac complications. I was fortunate with a simple A-Fib which he treated immediately. I feel very comfortable under his cardiac care.

Dr. Kennedy is a very caring doctor. He listens to what you say, explains things in a way that you understand them, does not rush the patient. He is patient with us older folks and has a good sense of humor.
