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.

Arrogant, fragile ego
Same as all the other reviewers who gave 1 star. I was on guard and expecting him to be a no B.S. kind of guy, but what I wasn't prepared for was how easily offended he was. He wanted to scope my sinuses, which i declined, though he probably could have talked me into it if he was patient enough to answer a few questions about what he could potentially find and how that would direct treatment. I've had like 7 or 8 sinus scopes before, they cost about 500 bucks each time and each doctor has seen inflammation but not known what to do about it. I had all of their reports printed out, and several CT scans for him to look at, but mentioning any of this just seemed to anger him. Also, he will be very annoyed with you if you don't answer his questions in a specific way that he wants but gives, rude, short-tempered responses to anything you ask him. Worst interaction I've ever had with a doctor

Kind and Thorough
I went into this appointment super nervous after reading quite a bit of negative reviews. I went to Dr. Kingdom as a requirement from my doctor as they will be doing a combined surgery on me. Dr. Kingdom was nothing less than kind, considerate and thorough. He explained everything to me, made me feel comfortable and answered any questions I had.

Excellent Experience
Dr. Kingdom performed sinus surgery on me in February. He and his staff were terrific throughout the entire process -- diagnostic, pre-surgery, surgical and post-surgery care. Intelligent, caring and concerned about my health and comfort, he took the time to answer all of my questions. His PA, Robie Gray, answered promptly online my series of questions leading up to the surgery. This was a superb medical experience from start to finish. I had the surgery at the UCHealth Cherry Creek surgical center and they, too, were simply outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Kingdom and the Cherry Creek UCHealth surgical care team.

Amazing doctor!
Ive had 3 sinus surgeries and he did my last one - his was by far the most thorough. I met with him today to schedule another surgery and he was super nice and personable! He is distinguished in this field and I fully trust his ability to do the best job with my surgery. Nothing but a great experience with him!

Arrogant and unhelpful
My visit to Dr. Kingdom was so disappointing. I've been sick with sinus problems (with fever) for nearly 2 years now, and in the course of trying to figure out what's wrong, I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Dr. Kingdom used to work at National Jewish, and came recommended as someone who has a lot of knowledge about CF infections. He took a quick look in my nose and said there's no way I have any infection. I asked him to explain the fever and green mucus, which he couldn't. He told me that what I was experiencing was "breathing differently" after my sinus surgery 2 years ago, after which I was sick in bed for 3 months and lost 1/2 my hair. If you're looking for an egotistical gaslighter, this is your man. If you want a doctor whose interest lies in healing you, look elsewhere. I sobbed when I got in the car.

There is a reason his rating is 2.5 and lowering…. Most condescending arrogant person I’ve ever dealt with! He thinks he is the only competent ENT on the planet! I had my medical records sent from Northwestern ENT Chicago and Millennium Physicians Group Naples Fl. Dr. Kingdom refuted their diagnosis and treatments and medical qualifications!!! I finally told him his communication style and approach is condescending, argumentative and a complete disconnect for me as well as I have absolutely no confidence in him as a physician. I honestly have never met a doctor that has such a disconnect with his patients. At first I was not going to make the appointment because his rating was 3.0 ….Now it’s 2.5

Same Experience As All the Other Bad Reviews
Wow, I wish I had read these reviews before seeing Dr. Kingdom. He was dismissive and rude, interrupting me consistently and not really listening. He completely contradicted prior treatment I'd received that had worked for me, said there was nothing he could do, and did not even try to find a solution to my problems. Plus didn't seem to believe much of what I'd said. If you have any kind of complicated sinus issue, save yourself a major frustration and find another doctor. I'm going to stick to the doctors who have actually helped in the past!

I saw him to talk about a sinus infection, which I caught from handling rancid meat, which never fully went away, from years ago, and he told me "I've never heard of that happening before." He didn't give me the time to speak, told me what was happening before I could explain, and then swept me out of his office. I'm not sure what causes sinus infecctions if it's not pathogenic exposure, maybe I'm just needing some drugs or something and infecction is a gentic disease.

Hands down. The worst Physician I have ever seen in my life. I wish I would have read this before I wasted my time. Everything that patients have said on this site is accurate. Unfortunately it’s all the negative reviews. He is rude and condescending. Went off on a tangent that all my other Physicians do not know what they are talking about. These are Dr.s that he works with at UC Health. Including my Primary care Physician. He made me so uncomfortable I told my husband I will never go to another Dr.s appointment without him or another person being with me. We fully intend to follow through with UC Health on this. No one should be subjected to this kind of poor treatment.

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. He was beyond disrespectful and disregarded every single thing I told him. Every test I’ve had he said the doctor was incorrect and that none of it was true. He said he has a hard time believing anything I’ve been going through is actually happening. I told him to go get my hospital records and he said “well honestly I don’t see that as my problem” he kept on telling me I was lying and that none of what I was saying was true. Got me to the point of tears and I had to walk out of the office.

I am 60 years old and have worked in the medical field. This doctor asked me 4 times why I was there. Every time I explained he said there was nothing wrong with me and he asked why are you here again. I cried and stopped answering him until he left me alone. He then ordered a test that another doctor had done already. One of the rudest people I have dealt with. Not what you need when searching for answers.

To be honest I was a bit cautious going in to Dr. Kingdom after reading his reviews online, but I had a really great experience with Dr. Kingdom and his wonderful PA Dr. Grey. After pre-ops visits, an operation, and three post-op visits, I did not find any of the negative things I read online to be true. I felt like he listened attentively, was kind and caring, had a great bedside manner, and furthermore like he was the first doctor I went to that actually wanted to look at my problem with an investigative mind wanting to figure out what was causing it. I am very grateful to no longer have a watering eye and clear sinuses, and would trust any one of my family members with Dr Kingdom and his staff.

After seeing well over fifty doctors over the last few years to help close family members with significant health problems, as well as for my own health issues, I have a pretty good understanding of the difference between good and bad doctors. Dr. Kingdom is among the top five worst I've ever dealt with. He was arrogant, condescending and dismissive of everything I knew to be entirely true. He criticized most of my reasons for seeing him, berated my previous ENTs for improper care, and dismissed previously successful treatments as pure coincidences. His conclusion was that I needed to see their neurologist to get pharmaceutical pain treatment. If your symptoms are undeniably sinus related, Dr. Kingdom may provide good care. For sinus problems that aren’t obvious and can’t be verified at the time of your visit, I highly recommend avoiding Dr. Kingdom. Dr. Kingdom adheres to a different Hippocratic Oath compared to that of my late father-in-law who was a well respect Physician.

I called Dr Kingdom's office twice to make sure he was open to seeing a patient with tick borne illness and exposure to mold. I was assured that the doctor saw variety of patients and he would be happy to see me. I went to my appointment with all of my labs, tests and MRI's. Not only did the doctor not look at any of my documentation, but he treated me like a pariah.

I was told my preliminary appointment would cost $500-$1500. As I've been on a 5 year journey into a difficult to diagnose illness, I've learned that not all patients and doctors live in the same head space. Therefore, I asked the doctor Kingdom's office to have someone from his medical staff call me before my appointment to make sure we would be a good fit. $500 if a lot of money to spend if the patient and doctor have different beliefs on Western and Eastern medical diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Kingdom is a highly competent doctor who was generally kind and did a good job of explaining potential risks and benefits of the plan we chose. But the impact of the surgery has been negative-to-negligible, and the expense of the follow-up visits is completely outrageous, so I cannot recommend engaging his services.

Dr. Kingdom and the team were more concerned with billing than my well being. I came in for congestion I had been experiencing for ~3 months. I was charged an exorbitant amount of money (over $2k) for tests that were of questionable utility, only to be prescribed a nasal spray and told there's nothing else they could really do for chronic congestion. I don't recommend.
