I've seen Dr. Kimpel for many years. He provides the very best care in ALL aspects. He has been instrumental in helping me to maintain a very active lifestyle despite the challenges of chronic conditions.
Dr. Kimpel has always been very attentive, understanding, calm and not rushed. I trust he has my best interests at heart. However, I would appreciate some follow up call from one of his staff, like a nurse, to help me better understand blood test results rather than me waiting for 3-4 months to discuss.
Wait period is too long before Dr. comes in. Not all the time but most of the time. Was better this visit
Knowledgeable
Dr Kimpel has brought me thru my auto immune disease journey to where have it checked.
Dr Kimpel is very compassionate and caring as well as knowledgeable of my medical history. He is friendly and takes his time during my appointment.
