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.

Does not care about his patients
Dr Jenkins was extremely dismissive of me. I had to wait months to get a colonoscopsy during an active flare up for him to even help me. During the colonoscopy he did not speak to me when he came in the room, instead he started an argument the nurses while I was laying on the table being put under. Never spoke to me after and perscribed me a medication that caused my symptoms to worsen. When I reached out to him about this, he told me I was going 'to just have patience' and never contacted me again. I ended up having active bleeding for over 6 months and had to go elsewhere to just get an Rx that would work.

Not a good experience
Dr. Jenkins was very dismissive of me. I was in tremendous pain. He had to ask his nurse if I was genuine before he admitted me to the hospital. He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me so he washed his hands of me. Now, over 10 years later his office started sending me letters that I am due for a colonoscopy. I have moved on to doctors that listen to me, that believe what I tell them and are willing to refer me to specialists if they can’t figure things out.

This guy is a total loser. Saw him about 3 years ago and was dismissed in under 10 minutes. I've since lost 20 pounds after going to him for help and have been suffering ever since. I never went back. I may be filing a malpractice suit against him and warn others to stay away! He does not care about you!

Dr. Jenkins is a great Gastro Dr. He knows what he's talking about, making us feel comfortable with decisions in our situation. He is very nice and is down to Earth in giving results in a language we can understand.

Dr. Jenkins is a wonderful doctor. He's also one of the kindest people I've ever met. I've been a patient for many years and always answers my questions and offers practical solutions for treating my acid reflux problems. You can't go wrong with this excellent physician.
