UofU Patient April 25, 2013
They did everything they could to accommodate me out side of their regular schedule i am an have always been grateful for Dr Kendall and when given the opportunity I have recommended others to Him
UofU Patient April 17, 2013Best experience I've ever had with a physician. I've had 10+ broken bones, loads of torn ligaments and hamstring tears/pulls. He was knowledgeable and confident in regards to every question I had.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013Dr. Kendall was very helpful and patient in answering my many question. I really appreciated this and his manner.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Kendall. I see him as knowledgeable and capable.
UofU Patient February 27, 2013I would recommend my care provider at the U of U to anyone,im excited to see them again in Southeast Utah in 3 months to see how things have progressed with my treatment.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013DR Kendal was awesome, he was prome, friendly and did not have an attitude like some of the other Ortho Drs. He check what meds I was on before prescribing anything me, which no other DR has ever done and knew about interactions. I would highly recommend him.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013After my testing was done, all I was told was the information would go to Dr. Burke. So I really don't know if I'm going to hear from him or what???
UofU Patient November 20, 2012Dr. Kendall always exlains and informs me very well....
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Dr Kendall beats Dr Hansen by miles. lol/sorry.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012appreciate the help
UofU Patient October 16, 2012I have some background in medical terminology. It is good that they did not talk to me as if I was totally ignorant of things. I understand that the med-speak may need to be simplified for many but I also appreciate it when it is not presented that way to me.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012the care that is provided me is the best.... I have referred Dr Kendall to friends and family
UofU Patient October 01, 2012It was obvious Dr. Kendall was very well prepared to meet with me concerning my complicated problem with existing polio issues and now chemotherapy. I sincerely appreciate all the good information he gave me and the recommendations he made to help me manage during this time.
UofU Patient September 11, 2012very good experience
UofU Patient August 08, 2012I couldn't be happier about Dr. Kendall and his staff. They are professional, caring, informative, and much more.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012The Dr. has always been a good experiance.I am confident in his help with my well-being.
UofU Patient July 26, 2012I sm a great fan of Dr. Kendall! It is an honor to be his patient.
UofU Patient June 15, 2012Last time I saw Dr Kendall I was in tears about my back/neck pain and felt very hopeless. This visit I was happy and hopeful that I could live a mostly pain-free life thanks to Dr Kendall.
UofU Patient June 05, 2012Dr. Kendall looked at the MRI with me, showed me all the details and explained what I was looking at, and then explained about physical therapy rather than spinal injections.
UofU Patient June 05, 2012Was probably the most informative appointment I have ever had regarding my back. My copay is $50 and it was probably the best $50 I have spent in a long time in a dr visit. I left with a great understanding of what was going on and how to move forward. They were also very friendly and nice
UofU Patient May 09, 2012Dr. Kendall was caring, concerned, and gave me the attention I needed.
UofU Patient April 21, 2012I have recomended several people to Dr Kendall over the years. I trust Dr Kendall
UofU Patient February 17, 2012I have complete confidence in all of the Doctors who have and are treating me at the Medical Center.
UofU Patient February 17, 2012Dr.Kendall is a very good doctor and has seen me for a couple years. He understands where I'm coming from, but the only problem is his outlook is that I can do anything and nothing at the same time. Meaning he is very optimistic about my abilities, but very cautious about what I should be doing.
UofU Patient January 14, 2012I have been to several doctors about my pain, including another doctor there and MOST doctors just stick a needle in your hip and send you on y your way. It is very impersonal. They do not want to figure out what is actually going on. Dr kendall spent a lot of time with me discussing possible problems, problems that no one had addressed in 6 years. He has restored my faith in doctors.
UofU Patient January 14, 2012The physician kept looking at his watch the entire visit. We felt like we were rushed with the appointment and decisions. I don't feel like all of our questions were answered or our concerns addressed adequately. We drove over 3 hours for the appointment and can not easily return for other questions or concerns so it was important to us to get definite answers while we were there.
UofU Patient January 11, 2012He talked too fast. He used medical terms that most laymen would not be familar with, when I asked to explain, he talked too fast again! Frustrating!
UofU Patient January 05, 2012Doctor Kendall is very learned and experienced in what he does. It's great working with him.
