List of Llewellyn I Kitchin's Reviews
I met Dr. Kitchin only yesterday, when he did my upper endoscopy, though I had spoken with him previously on the phone. I was impressed by his reviews on-line, and his experience, along with his manner on the phone. I was not disappointed upon meeting him, as he was very friendly and honest. I was both surprised and gratified to hear him tell me that I didn't have to have this procedure again.
I moved here 5 years ago. I was very surprised at the method used by Dr. Kitchin and staff in treating new patients. i did not see him until after I'd had the prep and had been admitted for the procedure. He may have spent a total 5 minutes in my presence while I was awake. This method of "care" felt very mechanized. My previous doctor met with me face-to-face in his office before any procedure was scheduled.
I had my first colonoscopy with Dr. Kitchin in June 2014. He found and removed a small polyp. To his surprise it was cancer. In July 2014 he performed another colonoscopy to do a biopsy of the polyp site to make sure no cancer was left behind. There was none but he still wasn't satisfied so he ordered a CT scan. The scan showed something was wrong with my right kidney. More scans and I was sent to a urologist who confirmed cancer. I had my right kidney removed in November 2014. Today July 24,2015 I had a follow-up colonoscopy and there were no polyps and I don't have to have another colonoscopy for 3 years. If Dr. Kitchin had not been as thorough as he was they might not have found my kidney cancer until it was too late. Dr. Kitchin is not only a terrific doctor, he is also very kind and caring and so are all the staff who work with them. Final note: Have all screenings that your doctor recommends. Colonoscopies are not painful at all. The prep the day before isn't pleasant but it is a small price to pay to know you are cancer free.
Cancelled my appointment 1 hr before I was to be there. List a day of work for nothing....worst of all, I'm having symptoms of liver problems. This was the reason I was seeing him, after being referred by my GP. Reschedule 20 days later....now I have to wait 20 more days to find out what's going on with my liver. I guess I better hope it's not life threatening or I'm up the creek without a paddle.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
