What People Say About Dr. Ngugi Kinyungu, MD
RecentHighestLowestMost Helpful

Dr. Kinyungu is the most caring Dr. I’ve ever seen. He really takes the time to discuss your health issues and discuss options. The only problem is his front desk lady that claims to be a nurse. Danielle, seems to be high on something and smell of cigarettes. I suspected she was not a nurse and looked her up on the NYS nursing registries (all 3) the RN registry, LPN registry and when she wasn’t on either of those I checked the Nurse Aide registry. She is not listed Anywhere!

Fast appointments, little to no wait time, speak directly to doctor medications always filled on time, caring, compassionate and always looking out for his patients best interest's. I have had severe back pain and suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus for the past 4 years and he keeps my pain level tolerable.

Dr. Kinyungu is compassionate, caring and very knowledgeable. I am 80% free of pain due to the use of medical marijuana. With his help I can function and be more productive. I highly recommend him. His office staff is always friendly and very helpful.
