March 1, 2017David R.Verified patient
Doctor was unorganised and managed patient records with paper records. Came in for a simple repeat prescription and he tried to refer me to 3 different specialists. Clearly a scratch my/your back system going on there. The repeat prescription needed a blood test for which he checked the boxes for everything except the one thing I needed testing. Useless.

Very kind and experienced doctor....Reminded me of my grandpa :)
Will patiently listen to you and will suggest the right approach....I wish other Doctors were more personable like Dr. Kenneth, which is becoming increasingly rare nowadays....Doesn't take much to smile while doing what you are good at right ? :)
October 20, 2016Vivek N.Verified patient
I think Dr. Kenneth is a great doctor. I liked everything about him. I went for annual checkup and had some general question concerning my health to ask him. This was the first time I visited this doctor and I'll be going to him rest my life. Erica his nurse, is also wonderful. Dr. Kenneth also does follow up which is ex termly important. He took his time and explained every question that I had, to my satisfactory. I could really tell that he cares a lot about his patients. He has lots of experience and knowledge. He is someone that you can trust %100. I saw few patient leaving his office with a big smile. He makes you feel very welcome like someone who has known you for a long time.
