Dr. Richard William Kendall, DO

He is great to work with and extremely knowlegable about my health conditions.

Just to be fair, mix-ups with medications has some to do with Utahs "opioid crisis'' making it utter double hockey sticks for Chronic Pain patients, the Doctors, the pharmacists who have become "cops'' here. Was treated like a street junkie by Smiths Pharmacy. It is truly making me want to move out of state where I can obtain CBD oil to cut down on Big Pharma.

I am a patient with little patience left. He and assistant knew I was OUT of pain meds and just didn't follow through to call in a pre-authorization. This is a long weekend and I'm guessing he won't do anything until then. That has left me in withdrawal symptoms of diarrhea, a spike in BP, which has caused a retina bleed in the past. Now four days into NO pain medication. THANKS a lot, doc!!

He didn't give me accurate information on my MRI and dismissed me after 3 visits. I was told that if he had referred me to a surgeon within two weeks of my fall they could have restored the use of my arm. He also told me I merely had a tear in my rotator cuff when two sections of the rotator cuff are torn from the bone. When I finally got to see another orthopedic physician he told me both issues were separate and I would most likely never be rid of the pain. They can repair the rotator cuff with major surgery but the arm and some pain will stay the same. Beware of this DO. He is not a medical doctor, he just practices with a group of MD's. I have lost all respect for him. He didn't even ask if I needed pain medication. I finally called him after several weeks and asked for something and it was a full week before he called it into the pharmacy. Another doctor referred me to a surgeon saying I was going to need extensive care for "a long time."

I was so impressed with Dr. Kendall and his assistants. He was kind and made sure I understood the problem I have completely. I had to call his office after my appointment on two different occasions regarding a problem and expected his assistant to call me back but Dr. Kendall called me himself and went over all of the information I needed to have. I would recommend him highly to anyone that is in need of a caring, very competent, and compassionate doctor. The way he explains things is so thorough and on the patient's level it is extremely helpful. I never felt rushed and was treated with the utmost respect.

The Receptionist, MA/Nurses interaction, sensitivity, interpersonal skills, mannerism, work ethics and the knowledge of their jobs are unacceptable. The Providers are excellent! I find it appalling that the people who represent the providers and Clinic are employees. I will continue my care with the providers until I am healed; but I will never return to the facility. I am not looking forward to my next encounter with the staff and I would not recommend anyone to the clinic.

He was disheveled and unkempt. I had a lot of pain after a spinal fusion and he acted like I was wasting his time even talking; he wouldn't prescribe even conservative pain management drugs. Two people I work with had the same experience with him after serious spinal injuries. Choose a different doctor at the orthopedic clinic!

The staff was the very most unfriendly, cold, uncaring bunch of nasty people I have ever come across. It seemed like THEY were doing me a favor by assisting me to check in. Their attitude was so abbrasive that I will never go back there again!!!!!
