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 set me back months. He didn't pay attention in consultation and as a result had to cancel the surgery because he couldn't even listen to the whole situation. Dude is a joke. I will sort out these issues with a real doctor now.

Experienced and skilled surgeon who listens, is easy to talk to, and has never kept me waiting longer than 10 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. Competent and friendly staff.

I have used Dr Kimball for 4 different knee surgeries and I would not trust anyone else. His expertise is the best I have found and he is very professional. He is one of the top doctors from Smith and Nephew list of doctors and that is where I discovered him. I feel I am in the best of hands with Dr Kimball.
