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.

Unhurried and very thorough
Dr. Jenkins was prompt and on time for my visit. He spent close to an hour with me and never once appeared hurried. He remembered everything about our previous visits and was very thorough in my care. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Jenkins went above and beyond to help me with an issue I was having. I know specialty doctors book quickly so they offered waitlist and the next day I was called! I just couldn't believe it... The front desk were so kind and listened to my issues since I am older and it was nice to have someone listen to me and be so understanding and kind. I appreciate them adding me to the waitlist and know with busy offices they still care for us elderly patients. Thank you Dr. Jenkins.

I had a great experience with the doctor but one of the you g ladies that answered the phone when I called to check on my appt that has been scheduled for 5 months told me she could put me on a waitlist. I was upset of course because the waitlist is almost 3-4 months long but never cursed or yelled, yes my tone changed. God forbid, then I got a lecture to nit take it out on her. Wow young lady are you in customer service or in the business of further aggravating patients. I just don’t understand this new culture we are living in they can’t take or maybe understand a persons being frustrated about a situation like this. Like I said a great doctor but if you can’t get in what does that matter. The doctor told Me when to make the appointment and I made it that day.
