I find Dr. Jenkins to be a wonderful doctor. He is a good listener and excellent doctor who saved my life 3 times so far, 2 when I had MRSA and through 1 heart attack. Would recommend him to anyone.

I was a new patient and was able to be seen the same day. His staff is wonderful and made me feel very welcomed. Dr. Jenkins is the kind of doctor that makes you feel at home and takes his time to go over everything with you. I highly recommend him to anyone!!

Dr. Jenkins and his staff are very attentive to their patients. They are very concerned about their patients health, they listen to you and they dont ignore anything you say. Great bed side manners . The whole office staff is wonderful and easy to talk to .

Dr. Jenkins is the best doctor I have ever gone to. And don't get put off by the extra wait in his office, he spends so much time with his patients that he tends to get a little behind. I'd rather wait for that reason than others.
