Dr. Joseph Allen Kingsbury, DO

If I could give zero stars I would. Dr.. Kingsbury and his entire office staff were miserable to work with. Due to a sudden insurance change I was unable to really shop around for a provider with my first pregnancy, and I had to switch from a prior OBGYN. This office wanted to give me a pap smear even though I had already had one at my old office four months prior. They seem money hungry and completely ignore the requests of the patient. I wanted a very non-invasive pregnancy without checks and Dr. Kingsbury walked into the room, stood over me and was very harsh telling me, "you dont know whats best for you and your baby, I do." I am shocked that he has worked his entire career with women as he is obviously misogynistic and his demeanor is off-putting. My husband was out of the room for that interaction and as soon as my husband came back into the room, his whole demeanor changed. This makes me worried for any women that has to attend an appointment without a partner. Not only that, but I refused STD testing in my first trimester (because I had already had it done four months prior at my old office and was not concerned) and when I asked why he was so adamant about this he lied to me and said they needed to test for GBS which I later found out was a test they only do late in the third trimester. He seemed very annoyed that I wanted to do minimal testing and completely disregarded my wishes as a patient. Also, his entire front office (besides the scheduling lady) was completely miserable to work with. The two girls up front will talk over you and cut you off on the phone and they act as if the patient has no idea how things work. They literally made me come up to the office and show them a tangible E.O.B. because they didnt believe me that they had billed a service wrong. So I had to leave in the middle of my work day to prove to them that they in fact did make a mistake. They were infuriating to work with and completely incompetent. The billing lady is never in office and her line always goes to voicemail and then she never will return your calls. If you are looking for an open-minded, competent, friendly doctors office, look elsewhere, because this just isnt it.

Dr.Kingsbury is the only reason me and my daughter are alive and well. I transferred to him with major complications when my previous OB was dismissing all my symptoms, not taking me seriously and ignoring my attempts to reach him. I had severe hyperemesis during my pregnancy and went months trying to figure out a way to keep food and water down. Dr. Kingsbury worked with me, did everything he could and was finally able to get me on a medication regimen that allowed me to eat and drink. He also caught the fact that I developed hypertension in my pregnancy and that my daughter was small for her gestational age. He had me monitored several times a week in the MFM clinic to make sure my daughter was okay. Which is the reason we found out just before 36 weeks that she didn't have enough amniotic fluid and decided I needed to be induced. I had my daughter a month early and she needed to spend the first 2 weeks in the NICU. Dr. Kingsbury was kind, compassionate, understanding and didn't try to sugar coat things throughout my entire pregnancy. I really appreciate his honesty and realistic bedside manner. He has a dry sense of humor that many people don't get right away so they think he is rude or cold. I can promise you that is the farthest thing from the truth. He visited me every day I was in the hospital and my daughter in the NICU just to make sure we were okay. He is the best OB/GYN I have ever had and I have had many. I have endometriosis and PCOS so even when I'm not pregnant I am frequently see them. I am going to stay with Dr. Kingsbury for as long as he practices. A lot of doctors dismissed my pain or thought I was being overdramatic about my hyperemesis symptoms. Dr. Kingsbury was the only one who could see right away that I wasn't exaggerating and needed serious medical intervention. If you have a high risk pregnancy I highly recommend him. Also, if you appreciate a doctor who will tell you what is most likely going to happen or be best for you and not just list statistics and give you generalizations that sound like a script written and preapproved by the hospitals lawyers as to not upset anyone, pick him. He is the most real and honest doctor I have been to in a long time.

You know... Dr. Kingsbury delivered my first son via c section. My regular ob had her baby the day before me. I had a really hard time with Dr. Kingsbury as I felt his bedside manner was horrible. My first labor and delivery had been ruined. When I had my 2nd child made my ob swear not to let him near me. Then intended up needing a hysterectomy. I was terrified because it was going to be done by Dr. Kingsbury. You know what? My experience was wonderful! He did an amazing job with my surgery and all my follow up appointments went wonderful too. He was very attentive and listened to and answered all my questions and was really nice. I actually think I've decided that I prefer him over my regular obgyn now and hope to be able to switch over to his care in the future. I was really glad I gave him another chance. Perhaps he is human and has bad days like the rest of us. Who knew?!

Absolutely horrible! They way he talks to his patients & belittles them. I couldn't believe the things that came out of his mouth as he was talking to my daughter. SOOO unprofessional it's appalling! Never in my 40+ years have i EVER seen such disgusting behavior from someone in the medical field. And i work in the medical field. Save your time and find another OB. Not to mention he half-assed treated my daughter on her appointments and had a very rude demeanor. She's a week away from delivering & switched Dr's because he made her cry YET again

I know if I said what really happened, this site would NOT publish it. All I can say, is find an exit, and RUN-DON'T Walk!! LEAVE THIS OFFICE AND DR. BEHIND WHILE YOU CAN!!!

scanned my brain and lungs while I was having signs of ectopic pregnancy and waited 3 weeks to treat me then he doesn’t admit any fault. Doesn’t make any sense. Almost died and had harsh surgery because he didn’t read the results of imaging showing I had a mass and internal bleeding 3 weeks prior to giving me chemo.

I absolutely adore Dr. Kingsbury. He always takes excellent care of me. He truly cares for his patients, before, during and after treatment, and is an excellent surgeon. He goes so far above and beyond first his patients, I truly wish more doctors were like Dr. Kingsbury. I have said multiple times that I wish he could be my primary care physician... I'm having a hard time finding a PCP, as Dr. Kingsbury has set some high expectations that nobody else can seem to reach.

I love Dr. Kingsbury! I had a c-section with my daughter (not by Dr. Kingsbury) and I knew that I wanted to VBAC! I was tried to Dr. Kingsbury by my family doctor and couldn't be happier! He was really on board with my wanting to VBAC. He was very supportive and tasked over all my options. He really worked with me to get the delivery that I wanted!

Dr. Kingsbury is the only person I would ever want to deliver my children. He stood by me during my first pregnancy that was high-risk, taking extra precautions & sending me to a perinatologist to make sure everything was as it seemed. He checked on me regularly in the hospital after both of my two deliveries, and was always funny, courteous, and thoughtful. I adore him. He is straight forward, but also caring and brilliant. He has seen it all; remaining confident, and dutiful throughout everything. Dr. Kingsbury is the only OB/GYN I'd ever have around. My faith in him is unmatched, if he told me to jump on one leg for 2 hours, I'd do it without question. Don't see anyone else.

DR. KINGSBURY DOES NOT HAVE HORRIBLE BEDSIDE MANNER! He has a unique sense of humor! He delivered my 3 kids and I wouldn't change a thing! He doesn't beat around the bush....he tells you exactly how it is (which I was confused at first but completely loved it in the end) His staff is wonderful and I like that he hits both ends of Genesee County to meet everyones needs! I had 3 miscarriages before I had a successful pregnancy and he did a wonderful job keeping me calm, confident, and secure during my successful pregnancies. Now, I am done having kids he is now doing a wonderful job treating my female issues! My only issue is that on my hunt for a new family doctor I compare him to other doctors and its making it impossible to find a doctor I trust! I highly recommend Dr. Kingsbury

I am the type of person that does not like change. When I moved to tgw area I had to find a new OB. I researched the area and was told by several people to go with Dr. Kingsbury. Everyone was right! He is an amazing doctor so caring and compassionate. Dr. Kingsbury gives you the proper amount of attention, he sugar coats nothing and he truly cares for you as a person. When you walk in that office you are not treated as a "number" you are treated as a person. Delivery was such an awesome experience. The staff at the hospital from triage to delivery showed such excitement to work with him. They referred to him as "brilliant", "the best" and the resident doctor told me "awesome, Kingsbury...you couldn't have a better OB" that resident is right. Thank you Doctor Kingsbury and staff at Genysys Regional Medical Center. All of you are the best of the best!

Yes, Dr. Kingsbury is the best doctor in my opinion. He delivered my younger son via C-section 17 years ago and it felt like a miracle. Still feels that way! Dr. Kingsbury is very attentive, pfofessional, knowledgeable and kind.

I was referred to him by another doctor and I have to say thank god he did. I lost my daughter the night she was about to be born, and Dr. Kingsbury was there for me, stunned and almost as upset as I was. Three years later I went back to him with me expecting my second child, a boy. And trust me I was quite scared of losing him with being a high risk preg. Dr. Kingsbury was there for me all the way through my c-section and I can never thank him enough for bring my son into this world! Thank you Dr. Kingsbury, you are truly a fantastic man!

You made it so easy to have my two kids and made me feel good about it

I first went to Dr Kingsbury for my first pregnancy and loved him. He would tell me anything that I wanted to know and spend extra time with me if i had questions. So many people that i have came in contact with over the years have highly recommended him. He has been my Dr now for 12 years and 5 babies later and i will never go to any other OB but him!

I first saw Dr.Kingsbury for my first pregnancy, then my second, now he's my gynocologist and I'll never see anyone else. He is very honest and sometimes that can come off as rude. However, I sometimes need someone to tell me how things are, (especially when I was a first time pregnant woman with raging hormones reading way too much online.) :) He is very thorough and knowledgable, and he made me feel more comfortable than any doctor before. He has a great sense of humor and is great during delivery, SOOO patient! This guy is amazing! I recommend him to everyone I know. And I truly feel grateful that he was able to be such a big part of the most important times of my life. The office staff is amazing also!!

I was a first time mom and Dr. Kingsbury at first came off as a little rude. After getting to no him and understand him better; we were a perfect fit and I new I wanted him to be my OB. He is great at what he does and in the end that is the most important thing; safety of baby and mother. I will never go to anyone else; as long as I live in Michigan.

the whole time i was pregnant he was very good to me.made the situation better whenever i have had to get a pap smear(and im not comfortable with anyone in that area).i completely trust him as my doctor.after i had my son,when i was in the hospital,i constantly seen dr.kingsbury in the hospital hallways.its like he never goes home.he was very good about checking on me while i was in there.and he was concerned about my baby.hes good with the daddys too.i have been a patient of dr.kingsburys for 4 years.i recommend him to every pregnant woman and every woman who needs a gynecologist.

This doctor has horrible bedside manners. I should have learned that with my first pregnancy, but decided to return to him with my second because the nurses told me that if anything ever happened he was the guy. He knows what he knows and he knows what he doesn't know. He doesn't hesitate to get a second opinion or send you to someone that is more specialized. I like that! Over all, I like the guy - he saved my life when I bled out and needed a blood transfusion of 2 liters during my 2nd delivery. If I could change anything about him it would be his bedside manners during delivery. He is very nice throughout the pregnancy though (during office visits). He was also very nice after the delivery when I had to go in for my checkups.
