There should be more Dr Kimbrels...I can now walk normal thanks to him.
Extremely considerate and patient. Made sure we understood every aspect of the situation and had the information we needed to make a decision.
Outgoing, Great communication abilities, delightful and engaging personality, thoughtful bedside manners, and a remarkable person. I’ve have tons of operations and exclusively metal incertion. The great thing here having not met my two new Dr.s there communication (body language, words chozen, body movements, articulated language) made me feel extremely confident in trusting which is of the utmost security when having to undergo two surgeries with someone you’ve never met! Aftercare was just as pleasurable along with LOS O.T.
Dr. Kimbrel is one of the best doctors I’ve visited. He’s bedside manner is rare, he’s kind, caring & humble. His diagnosis & suggestion for care of injury is clear & not rushed. There’s nothing I would change with my experience with Doctor Kimbrel.
Dr. Kimbrel and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Dr. Kimbrel is never in a hurry and glad to answer questions.
Knee injection, always help been going to los for years no and never have I had a problem with them
Very personable and detailed. He reviewed my x-rays and MRI results in detail and clearly explained the different routes to recovery. I left reassured that my knee pain will soon be resolved!!
My visit was so thorough and in a timely matter! Dr Kimbrell was very friendly, he gave me a hopeful diagnosis for now and in the future to make me feel better. I left there feeling happy with the entire staff of LOS😀
I have been having shoulder pain and I find that the entire staff was not very helpful. Dealing with them for four months with very little relief is not acceptable
He’s so thorough and it was a great experience all around.
