Dr. Kent was exceptional. It was clear that he has a very high level of expertise in his specialty and he put forth great effort to understand my complex medical history, take all relevant factors into consideration, listen to my concerns, and provide detailed treatment options and alternatives. He kept me informed and involved throughout the appointment. I was thoroughly impressed and would strongly recommend him to others.

Dr Kent likes to get to the bottom of things and will tell you what you need to do regardless of your what you think! He's just trying to solve your sleep problems! Wish there was a sleep study in Hendersonville or Gallatin!

I specifically requested Dr. Kents service because of reading reviews about him with the INSPIRE procedure AND he simply didn't dissapoint me in any manner! Dr's like him and the rest of my Dr's at Vandy are the REASON I will always be happy with VANDY
