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.

Great Dr
Dr. Kindel is attentive, informative and caring. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Kindel and the other staff were great. Dr. Kindel provided me with answers that no one in the past was able to or didn't bother enough to answer. She explained my condition, ailment and solutions with the knowledge and empathy that she knew exactly what I was experiencing. I was beside myself because finally someone understood what I was living and dealing with and she provided a cause and a way to solve It. She provided facts and risks Involved with the solution. I am so happy that I reached out and with all of the Froedtert staff that led me to Dr. Tammy Kindel. I am further looking forward to getting healthier under the direction she sets forth and her care that I'm certain will have the understanding, empathy and expertise I learned that Dr. Kindel provides her patients. I would definitely recommend a consult with Dr. Kindel to anyone that is considering bariatric surgery.
