I was not told a male student would be coming in prior to the dr. I was quite surprised and uncomfortable I was not asked about my comfort until the end of the exam and prior to breast exam.
Dr. Kenny was extremely professional and nice. She took time to answer all my questions.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Kathleen Kenny. She is beyond thorough. She spends a lot of time with you to ensure that you can ask questions and so that she can assess any issues. Dr. Kenny is the BEST Dr. that I have ever dealt with in my life.
I will always recommend Dr. Kenny to everyone particularly those who need detailed attention to their health. She is a wonderful listener, goes out of her way to help the patient with letters, testing, and does a great deal of work around knowing your entire health history UNLIKE OTHER PROVIDERS. She is so intelligent and makes each visit very inspiring.

Dr. Kenny was understanding, caring and compassionate.
Dr. Kenny has all of the qualities of an outstanding PCP: intelligence, intuition, insight, compassion, humor, and sensitivity. She stays up to date on current literature, and SHC should be very proud to have her as part of the Internal Medicine faculty!
Dr. Kenny is the absolute best. Kind, thoughtful, interested, never seems rushed, an excellent experience as always. I was going over our discussion in MyHealth before I got home from work on the same day!
I booked an appointment for an acute problem. Dr. Kinney took the time to ask me screening health maintenance questions and order tests, even though she was not my PCP. That was great since it saved me another visit.

love Dr. Kenny and nurse staff
The first thing Dr. Kenny says when she walks in is "What can I do for you?" The comment threw me off balance because it does not express concern only that I have come to ask for something. Odd. From that point I was a bit uncomfortable and nervous about telling her what I came in for.

Dr. Kenny is compassionate & delivers excellent care.
I'm older and used to more interaction - you know, like the doctor actually LOOKING at your body for moles or other irregularities. Physicians stare at the computer screen now. I realize that they have to update information, but it's very impersonal. My doctor is fine and no more guilty of this than any other, I'm just use to knowing my doctor and having a relationship with them.
Dr Kenny is the best!!
Dr. took a phone call on her cell phone during my exam and did not step out of the room :-(
Dr. Kenny is wonderful! She explained all possibilities.
Dr. Kenny has always had the best bedside doctoring. She's has always given me detailed information about whatever condition or illness we're dealing with. Whenever she's had to refer me to a specialist they reiterate what she's already told me. I have complete confidence and trust in her.
Dr. Kenny is a wonderful professional, we couldn't be happier that she is our Mom's Primary Doctor.
Dr. Kathleen Kenny is the finest doctor (Primary Care Provider) that I have ever had in all the years of dealing with medical personnel. She is so professional but more importantly than that she is extremely knowledgeable about medicine. She cares and shows a tremendous amount of empathy for the patient and that is extremely important. You don't feel like a number when you visit Dr. Kenny. You feel like she 'has your back' and that she really cares and wants to help. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends. She has been extremely helpful to me and I am very grateful for that help.
Generally I feel Dr. Kenny is in a hurry with me, because she is a busy doctor! This visit was better than most in that way.
Dr. Kenny is an excellent & outstanding doctor!
