I was a patient of another healthcare system in the region referred to Ken & Swift by a close friend who had been a satisfied patient. He had a glowing description of Ken’s professional skills & personal interaction. I was not disappointed as Ken completely lived up to his “billing”.
Ken is always exceptional on every level. He listens intently & retains details many PA’s would let slip thru the cracks. He imparts a confidence to the patient that he & Dr Lynch truly care for their wellbeing & healing. He’s efficient yet gives ample time to explain the situation & options available. Ken is someone I would recommend to others with total confidence for the highest level of care & consideration from a Physicians Assistant. Im glad to have him as a key part of my medical team going forward.
Thank You Ken !
