This man is the worst doctor that I have ever had the misfortune to visit! It is no wonder that his schedule is wide open! He is extremely rude and arrogant and has no bedside manner what so ever! I went to see him in September and he diagnosed me with an active case of ulcerative colitis. He gave me some medication to start taking. It was Lialda and a Prednisone. He never told me what the medication was called! I took it but saw no improvement in my colitis. I called his medical assistant Jenny and communicated this to her. His response was keep taking it! Really helpful to continue taking medication that is not improving my symptoms.
The best part of this entire experience was that he insisted that I get the shingles vaccine, but never communicated to me that I shouldn't get the vaccine while on a steroid because it causes horrible side effects! I suffered with incredible joint pain for over 2 1/2 weeks and it was painful beyond words. I called the office and talked to his wonderful assistant Jenny who lacks empathy & compassion like him and I was told to take Tylenol until the pain stopped.
I have looked online and seen similar reviews like this so that reaffirms my belief that anyone who sees him is putting their faith in the wrong doctor and I hope that no one ever sees him again.

I did not feel safe at all in this physicians care. I definitely have doubts about his practice. He gave us no information of suggestions for follow up. After a year of unnecessary suffering I had going to another physician in his practice to get my questions answered he was able to resolve the issue in one 20 minute visit when Dr. Kengis was not able to in over a year.
















I was given a polite greeting when I walked in. It was nice to be acknowledged.

They were very sympathetic to my situation, and made me feel cared for. I knew that I could count on them at all times. Not only did I find a parking spot right away, but I knew my car was safe because the spots were designated and close to the entrance. It was nice to hear how much the staff respected them. It made me that much more confident that I was under the care of a professional. Almost every time I visit, I have to remind them who I am, why I'm there, and what my circumstances are.
