Dr. Kimball and hos team provide excellent care in a welcoming and efficient manner. If only all medical offices were run this well!

September 12, 2017Barbara H.Verified patient

Dr. Kimball is knowledgeable and friendly, laid out my options nicely in terms of cost, time, physical impact, and long term outcome.

More than 1 year agoInitials hidden

Dr. Kimball is an excellent physician. He's always looking to avoid surgery at all costs and will encourage the non-surgical treatment option if he believes it has utility. As an athlete, I loathe the idea of an extensive surgery and time away from my sport, so I genuinely appreciate this approach. I've seen Dr. Kimball for two discrete injuries and his recommendations for treatment were spot on both times.

May 15, 2017Initials hidden

I was taken in promptly. Everyone I had contact with was super nice. Dr was easy to understand, gave me several options, and took time to explain my injury.

I was delighted with my visit. He affirmed confidence within me that with time and care my tennis elbow would get better. I felt heard, affirmed and cared for.

More than 1 year agoGabriele G.Verified patient

Dr. Kimball is professional and personable. Direct but compassionate. He gave me a thorough review of my situation and presented options along with the pros and cons of each. He gave me his recommendation and reasoning for it. I'm sure that I wil be returning in a few months to have the surgery be recommended. I have a great deal odd confidence in him and his ability.

November 4, 2015Philip H.Verified patient

Great doctor!

January 15, 2015James R.Verified patient

Dr. Kimball changed my life! I suffered a debilitating wrist injury and was told by multiple surgeons before him that I would have to live with it (using a brace) and then get it fused. I was also told that if I tried a surgery to fix it, it would be a very long recovery and the outcome most likely wouldn't be that good. Being a athlete and a father, it lead me to depression...knowing I could never pick up my children again or cycle. Thankfully another surgeon put me in touch with Dr. Kimball. He was very confident he could repair my wrist and he did! Today, after 10 months from the injury and 4.5 from the surgery, I was able to pick my children up again over my head with ease. Thank you so Much Dr. Kimball!!! (BTW, he did surgery on Rondo of the Celtics recently which is in the press)
