Reviews
Dr Jenkins of the Gastro Group in Covington is a gem! He’s personable, funny, caring and professional! We never wait to be seen and we never feel rushed! The office staff is welcoming and efficient!
Outstanding professional caring, actually listens
Amazing doctor, friendly staff. Barely waited in the waiting area.
The waiting room and examination room waits were relatively brief after completing an extensive medical history form. The initial health care professional was friendly, interested, and efficient. My time with Dr. Jenkins was not rushed and he answered my questions clearly and without being either overly technical or condescending. He clearly expressed interest in my opinions and was flexible but focused on what he thought were the benefits and risks associated with the procedure. I would certainly recommend Dr. Jenkins and the associated team.
Very professional, great staff, and Dr Jenkins is excellent
