So, I saw Dr. Kennedy and his resident Dr. Price. And I think they went above and beyond what they needed to do, because not only where they, considering my allergy issues, but they were also considering some other issues that we're going on in my house that multiple doctors. We're trying to piece together and figure out what's going on and Dr. Kennedy made several recommendations to help with nor logical issues and he didn't have to do that he did and it was much appreciated and it was good advice.

This provider did not treat me for what I initially went to him for. He got off on some other tangent and totally forgot about it. I have no plans to return to him.

Dr. Jefferson and Dr. Kennedy showed great empathy and helpfulness...answered every question patiently and thoroughly. Randi and the drs exhibited a great relationship with each other and that carried over to me. I was not just a number and [NAME] was very friendly and thoughtful as were the drs.

My first visit with Dr Kennedy was very pleasant. He was interested in my past breathing issues, and made some suggestions re the future. I just wish that he wasn't so busy!
