Dr. Scott Kuennen has cared for me for almost two decades now and I trust his skill, intelligence, and compassion for his patients completely. Every time we talk, he's done his homework and is prepared to discuss the specifics of my visit (be it for illness, annual checkups, etc). He always follows up on past concerns and asks probing questions to determine how I'm feeling. He knows my family history and checks carefully for indications of problems that have occurred in my dad and other relatives. He helps me with strategies on avoiding treatments I don't want (minimizing prescription meds including antibiotics) but encourages me to seek necessary treatment for conditions that require meds or specialist care. The office always calls me with lab results. The nurse practitioner will talk to me on the phone, same day, if I call in with an illness, and prescribe as necessary. Once I accidentally scheduled a physical within 1 calendar year of the prior physical, and their nurse proactively advised me to change the appointment so as not to run into trouble with the insurance company for having the physical too soon! Very helpful!

Yeah, there can be some waits, especially during epidemic times in Kansas City. But they are thorough, and I trust Dr. Kuennen with my most precious asset - my health - completely. To those 1-star reviewers out there: if your doctor didn't treat you well and you stayed sick or got worse in their care, then I get it... but if you rated 1 star because you had to wait an extra 30 minutes to see a 5-star doctor, you might want to consider rounding up a bit!
