Reviews
Doctor was attentive and informative in responce to my questions.
Very good greeting from the staff and Dr. Jenkins, and the doctor did a very well and impressive overlook job. Andrew is very impressed and (for a 1st time impression), I would very much consider going back if need to. God bless and stay safe and blessed
Very accommodating. Easy to get appointment and testing scheduled. Great bedside manners.
It was a good experience going to this doctor for the first time.
I had a colonoscopy yesterday with Dr. Jenkins. He & his entire staff truly went above & beyond to make sure that I was comfortable before, during & after the procedure. Their kindness & their efficiency were most appreciated. I even received a follow-up call today checking on me!
