He was super amazing. I met Dr Kenneth for the first time though my husband is his patient, and he was fantastic. He was quite a listener and guided me through the steps of starting my medication plan for my insomnia, which I have batteled for days, I'm happier to share that I sleep better and the immense progress and change is magnificent.
