Dr J has replaced both my hips & 1 knee so far and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He explains everything thoroughly and is hyper-vigilant about preventing infection. I recommend him to all my friends!

Dr. Jenkins was easy to talk with, very direct and answered my questions patiently and openly at the level of knowledge I was looking for. I greatly appreciated his time and responsiveness

My follow-up visit five months after total hip replacement surgery went very well: my new hip is working smoothly, no complications. Dr. Jenkins’ concern is both professional and genuine, his surgical work top notch. I feel lucky to be one of his patients.

Great treatment. I always feel special. They listen to you and go above and beyond. I’m well pleased with Dr Jenkins and his staff and Kettle Point

He rushes you out the door quite quickly during a follow up visit. Makes a patient feel discounted and not heard

Great doctor. Knows what he’s doing, and does it extremely well. I wish his bedside manner was better. I hate waiting an hour to see the man, only to dismiss me in seconds. Yes, Jenkin listens, but hears what he wants, and is gone. I’m a folder, a product of his work, but does not know me as a person and what/how I’m doing.
