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.

He's a unicorn in the field of neurogenic bladders
I've been seeing Dr. Michael Kennelly for almost 8 years now, and he’s not just my go-to for getting Botoxx shots in my bladder to reduce the spasticity caused by my spinal cord injury—he’s someone I trust with my life. In a world where finding a specialist for neurogenic bowel and bladder issues is like finding a unicorn, Dr. Kennelly stands out, and I’d follow his advice without question.What makes my quarterly bladder appointments surprisingly enjoyable is his fantastic sense of humor. It’s not every day you look forward to a procedure, but with Dr. Kennelly, it’s like catching up with an old friend—who happens to be wielding a needle. And his nursing staff? They’re the best in the game. They remember every little detail about my life, ask about it at every visit, and put me at ease instantly. Plus, they’re great at follow-ups and always available between appointments if needed. They make every visit feel less like a medical necessity and more like a friendly pit stop.

My husband has been a patient of Dr Kennelly for several years. He is such a wonderful doctor and expert in his field. He worked diligently to resolve my husband's urinary and incontinence problems after his radical prostatechomy surgery for cancer. We are very pleased with the results and we highly recommend Dr. Kennelly!

I was referred to dr. Kennelly from my primary urologist in 2017. The first time I met with him I knew right away that I was going to like him. He made sure to listen to all my concerns and answer all my questions and never made it feel like I was rushed. I ended up having surgery and all of the follow-up appointments he has proven to be patient and informative. I would recommend him over and over again if you're looking for quality in a doctor.

I was seen by Dr. Kennelly at the Women's Center and I can't begin to thank him enough for the change i have had in my life due to my issues with incotinense. He was caring, and took the time to explain the issue i was having and gave me several options to try and fix the issue without surgery (which was alot more cost efficiant for me). If you are having issues I highly reccomend Dr. Kennelly he is the best!

Dr. Kennelly is the most professional, caring, and compassionate physician I have ever seen (and I have seen many). He has a calming bedside manner and takes time to explain the procedure and answer any questions. I just don’t understand how anybody could write a bad review about him...he is an amazing physician that truly cares about his patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kennelly’s for the past twenty plus years, and have the greatest confidence in his ability as a physician and surgeon. It is apparent in his treatment of his patients that he cares for them not only from a clinical perspective, but also from a personal perspective. Dr. Kennelly has twice recruited me for research studies, and during both instances he person, and was always available to answer any questions.

I recently visited the women's center & was very impressed by the overall experience! I received followup texts prior to my visit confirming my appointments or to make a change to my appointment day/time. On the day of my appointment my wait time was less than 10 mins and the nurses were very courteous and helpful! Then waited only minutes to see the doctor and spent plenty of quality time with me. All of the questions and concerns were answered and left knowing our next steps for treatment!

Very poor experience at his women's center. His nurse, Gwen is very rude and short with patients. The wait time to see the doctor is horrendous. He filters his patients through his assistant, even though the appointment was specifically with him. It is not uncommon to wait 3-4 hours to see this doctor. You would think he's spending quality time with his patients, but he is barely in the room long enough to answer a question, and it's like this at every appointment!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kennelly?
Questions and concerns are filtered through the physician's assistant. Dr. Kennelly spends very little time with the patient and shows little concern for the patient's problems. Also it is very difficult to make appointments as the doctor has very little office time available. The staff is very slow to respond to questions via telephone. Would never recommend this office to anyone.
