Fantastic experience with Dr. Kennedy! Extremely caring and knowledgeable and was able to explain everything very clearly. Everyone in the office is very nice as well.
Providence PatientDr. Kennedy is really helpful. She listens and takes her time with me. I have had some negative experiences with the front desk staff not being helpful, being very short, and giving me incorrect information.

Providence PatientVery good
Providence PatientDr. Kennedy was excellent professional and thorough. Pleasant and informative visit. The front desk and nursing staff were great. The one bad aspect is as a walk-in patient, I waited over 2 hours to see the doctor. It was worth it but that was way too long. It would have been better to have been given a heads up so I could have rescheduled/ come another time or day.
Providence PatientLove Dr. Kennedy - she talks to you as if she's a friend and is quick and responsive with questions and concerns.
Providence PatientI really like the service and I like my doctor. She's pretty good.
