Jun 6, 2025Dr. Kemp was awesome! I was recommended to her on a Facebook group I am in and I can see why. She was SIGNIFICANTLY better to talk to than the other neurosurgeons i have spoken with. She actually listened to my symptoms and didn't brush them off like my last surgeon did. I got more referrals and i had calls the same day to schedule. I am so glad I went with the recommendation to see Dr. Kemp!

Apr 10, 2025She is concerned about my health, and she asked if I had any question. She is very professional and she knows her job well.
Mar 1, 2025Dr. Kemp listened to my concerns and put my mind at ease with her explanations regarding my concerns.
Oct 11, 2024She was the only that took intrest in my concern to correct the problem right away.
