Dr. Kokenes is an outstanding physician! Great listener. Very responsive. Thorough in his answers and explanations. He helped me make an informed decision. I wish I had found him years ago.

Everything was wonderful! Every person I came in contact with was very nice. I could not have asked for a better experience!
Jaimie S.Patient
Dr. Kokenes was extremely professional, thorough, and had a terrific bedside manner. He reviewed the procedure before and afterwards with me. He removed 9 poylups and explained none appeared to be cancerous but they would send to lab just to make sure. He shared the results with my son outside in the car which I thought was very personal. For having such an unpleasant experience, he made it undeniably more comfortable and accommodative.
