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. Kidwell is an outstanding doctor. He always always make time to see me. I am truly honor to have him as my doctor.

The Eye Man
Dr. Kidwell performed bilateral eye surgery on me. I am so happy I have Dr. Kidwell as my doctor. I LOVE him because he tells it like it is. If you are thin skinned, he is not the doctor for you. I felt as though I was in good hands and Dr. Kidwell healed my eyes.

Served my family for decades
Dr Kidwell has served three generations of my family. He is personable (always takes time to ask about our overall well being) as well as professional. The office hours are perfect for my schedule and the appointments run on time.

He was so verbally abusive, my relative is now afraid to undergo surgery. His staff all stood around like deer in headlights, and watched as he got up in my relative's face, and cussed her out. He is very unprofessional. He curses, and discusses the mistakes off other patients, which he claims pissed him off. They must be used to his behavior. I'm surprised that he has been in business this long.
