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.

There are no words that can describe how Dr. Kennedy has saved my life. He spent 8 hours cleaning up the mess I made of my lower back in 2007 and replacing that mess with a 2 disc spinal fusion that has lasted 12 years so far! I'm still able to be outside doing yard work!! In 2010 he spent 14 hours removing a Stage 1 Meningioma from behind my right eye that dragged into the middle of my brain... it was the size of a pool ball. I went on to complete my RN degree 2 years after my craniotomy. You can't even see the scars, and no one would ever guess what lies beneath them. I am fully functional. When I say he saved my life because of his level of skills, I mean he did that.. twice. He is a blessing to the medical field as a whole, even more so to the lives of the patients he treats.

Dr. Kennedy is an absolutely excellent doctor and I will recommend him to anyone who would need a Neurosurgeon. Dr. Kennedy is not only completely knowledgeable he also had a wonderfully kind and understanding approach when speaking to me, my husband, and all of my family. Dr. Kennedy never once seemed rushed or in the least bit annoyed by all of the questions we had. I honestly can not say enough positive things about this doctor and his team: they were all a blessing to me.
