My husband and I saw Dr Jenkins at Palestine Hospital this morning. We both tested positive for novel coronavirus 19. Dr. Jenkins and the entire staff at the ER department were thorough and very reassuring. I appreciate the time and care the staff spent with us both.

It was several years ago, but my seriously disabled daughter ended up in ICU for 30 days on a ventilator. He and that know-it-all PA refused to listen to me and my daughter's nurse explain her issues and actually said "you can't run to the doctor every time this kid gets a sniffle". She had pneumonia. And his staff was extremely rude.

I would NEVER recommend this Doctor to anyone! Therr was a shift change while my son was in the ER and he never came in to see my son or to check his vitals but had the nurse discharge us...

Dr. Jenkins is the most intelligent person I have ever met. He sincerely cares about his patients and takes the time to hear them. I wish that he still had a practice because he was the only doctor that actually listened to me enough to find out my illness. He saved my life. Who ever wrote the inappropriate comment is uneducated and poorly informed. Regardless, he is the best physician that I know, and I would recommend him to any person that I know.

Dr. Jenkins has been my primary care doc since 1994, having only recently changed to covering the Emergency Room fulltime. I fully owe my health to this man, he has saved my life on several occasions and has impeccable knowledge of my special and complicated health problems. I take offense to ANYONE that would post a ridiculous and/or offensive comment about this physician. It is obvious that there is a personal vendetta toward Dr. Jenkins, according to the earlier comment. Rarely will you find a more hard-working and dedicated doctor like Dr.Jenkins. He is exceptional with all ages, pediatrics thru geriatrics. He is no longer in private practice but can be found in several ER's nearly every day. thanks.
