Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Doctor was great. Took time to explain what was going on and offered suggestions for treatment. A very comfortable session, and nurse was great.
July 10, 2025Dorothy H.Verified patient
I was there prior to my appointment time. I was called half an hour later than my appointment time. I get into the exam room, then I'm told the doctor is 2 hours behind. I was not told that he was going to be that late. Supposedly I was supposed to receive a phone call to tell me that so I could reschedule. I never did get a call.

I had a disappointing experience with Dr. Kenneth’s office. I originally scheduled an appointment for December 5, but when I arrived, the front desk informed me that my appointment had been changed to the previous day without my knowledge or consent. The staff claimed the change was due to the doctor being fully booked, but I was never notified or asked for confirmation.
I explained that I had taken a day off work specifically for this appointment, but the receptionist showed no concern and stated there was nothing they could do to help. The staff were rude and unprofessional throughout the interaction.
This lack of communication and disregard for my time is unacceptable. I do not recommend this office to anyone, as they appear to prioritize their own convenience over respecting their patients’ schedules
