Dr. Robert Kennon, MD Reviews

From the first consult to my post-op care, Dr. Kennon and his staff have been professional, experienced, efficient and nice people to boot! This was my first joint replacement (total hip) and I had lots of questions and a fear of the unknown. All of them were patient with me and often answered my questions before I asked them. The surgery was done at Midstate Medical Center and the staff there was also very good and accommodating. They offer a joint replacement class for patients before surgery, which was very helpful to me. My recovery is going very well and I thank both Dr. Kennon and his staff as well as the staff at Midstate. Thank you all so much!

I was delighted with my hip replacement three years ago. Dr. Kennon went out of his way to make sure I had a good experience, including calling me after business hours to patiently answer all my questions. The administrative staff also did a good job working with me through numerous scheduling and billing hassles caused by my unfamiliar insurance. The surgery went well and the new joint has been working great - after six months, I got to resume playing (rec) volleyball, which was important to me. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend. Why am I leaving a review 3 years after the fact, you ask? Well, turns out the other hip needs replacement now, and I was very much looking forward to having a surgeon I knew and trusted. But it turns out Dr. Kennon has changed affiliations so that my insurance no longer considers his team in-network. That's nobody's fault, but I spent yesterday afternoon feeling awfully disappointed after I found that out. Today I dusted myself off and figured since I wasn't going to see them in person, I'd leave a review to say thanks and sorry we can't repeat. :)

A wonderful Dr very attention and nice

I have changed this review. Originally, my review was not kind to the staff and the physician assistant.. Upon actually seeing Dr. Kennon, I found him to be very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He gave me the 2nd opinion that I wanted, and I was given a non surgical option, which I will follow up on. And I will probably see him again in the future about my other knee. My apologies to the staff for the original review. Everyone was very friendly and caring.

I am a very active person in my early 70’s and was quite frustrated when left hip pain slowed me down. I went to see Dr. Kennon who confirmed I needed a hip replacement. Since he had replaced both my husband’s hips with excellent results, there was no doubt about who would replace mine! Along with Dr, Kennon being an excellent surgeon, he explains things very well, is reassuring, and is one of the kindest doctors I’ve ever met. My left hip replacement was performed at Midstate Hospital in January 2024 and everything went very smoothly! I came home the same day, started home PT the following day, did my prescribed exercises and followed all my discharge instructions in the weeks that followed. This resulted in steady progress and a return to my normal way of living! With a couple of small modifications, I went back to my women’s exercise class in about 3 months and by 4 months was able to walk considerable distances while on vacation in Spain. Thanks to Dr Kennon and his team, I feel great!
