Patient Reviews
Apr 19, 2016
Quite simply, Dr. Kent saved my mom's life. My mom had pancreatic cancer and Dr. Kent made sure we were informed of the procedure every step of the way. Never once did she make us feel like we couldn't trust her 100 percent. She is warm, friendly and incredibly smart, listened to all our questions, and made sure to explain things in a way that we could understand. I trust her completely and absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs pancreatic surgery.
