Jacob F. Kidder, M.D.

Doctor came into the gave me a few stress test said I needed a shot and not surgery. The nurse came a few minutes later and gave a shot in my shoulder.

The best in his field. Great personality. He really cares about you. Genuine.

Good Listener and very proficient

Called with a concern and they saw me right away and I always know that they have my well-being on their minds as they establish the next steps in my health care.

Great doctor, explained everything to me and the office visit didn't take long. I would recommend Dr. Kidder and I am glad I did not postpone going to my appointment, because I would not have seen the x-rays and would not have known what was causing my neck and shoulder pain.

Just as I remembered him. Very thorough and knows what he is talking about. Inhv confidence he will do what is best for my condition

Highly recommend Dr. Kidder!

Great doctor!!!! Really cares about his patients.

Takes time to listen

We( my husband used Doc Kidder on both his arms/rotater cup surgeries, years ago, 3/4 years in between each. Doc Kidder is the best to us both. So when I fell on Jan.4,2020/Saturday @ home, in my back yard about5:30pm/ Dr.Kidder is who I knew I would choose to help me get my left arm repaired,healed, useable again.

Very thorough with patient; answered all questions; follow-up visits very informative; patient care appears to be #1 priority.

I can truly say he was the most genuine, friendly doctor I have ever met. I felt very comfortable and when I left, knew I was in good hands with him. The assistants were great also

really enjoyed our visit,Dr.Kidder didn't rush my visit and listened to my concerns and fears, explained all about the shoulder surgery, made suggestions and left the decision for surgery to me .. When the time comes he will be my surgeon.

Dr. Kidder always sets me at ease when I have to see him. Great surgeon, very patient, listens, and just a nice guy.

Absolutely wonderful

Very knowledgeable and very helpful.

Dr Kidder is very kind and informative and sympathetic. I am very happy with my visit and the entire staff. His nurse Teresa is especially wonderful as well.

My appointment was very easy dealing with the front as well as the back. Dr. Kidder, Grace, Theresa, and Racquel have made this recovery a breeze.

He listens well.
