Dr Kent was extremely professional and caring. He provided an in-depth analysis of my diagnosis, he spoke of possible solution and options. Dr Kent listen well to my wife's and my questions and concerns. Insuring he didn't go on until he had clearly answered. I left his office much more confident in his desire and ability to help me than my previous experience with the healthcare team at Ascension!

Dr. Kent was absolutely amazing! Our son is special needs and we have been sent to 3 other doctors and referred out! We finally found someone who would listen to us and give us not only a medical opinion but an honest opinion!

Dr Kent was incredibly thorough! Very knowledgeable and professional, explained everything and answered all my questions. Probably one of the best physicians I've had as far as listening to my concerns and explaining things.
